The Auction Data Is a Lie: What Sydney Clearance Rates Really Are (Property Experts)

SMSF Strategy: https://follio.com.au/contact-us-copy... National Investment Report: https://441711975.hs-sites-ap1.com/fo... There's still time to beat the SMSF property ban, but the window is closing fast. In this episode, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty are joined by Katie Timms, partner at RSM and one of Australia's leading SMSF specialists, to reveal what most people get wrong about the incoming self-managed super fund lending changes, and why it may not be too late to act before the 10 August deadline. Then the conversation turns to the data nobody else is reporting honestly. With Sydney auction clearance rates officially at 47%, Lachlan exposes why the real number is closer to 25%, how that figure is actually collected, and what it tells you about where this market is really heading. Four of five capital cities are now falling, only Perth is holding, and the inflation read could change everything. This is property, made simple, honest, and practical.
