CBRE Managing Director Mark Lafferty highlighted the diverse offering of properties that have come to market, with a further 11 campaigns launching shortly, “We continue to see strong results being achieved using the auction platform, driven in part by the diverse buyer pool attracted to the platform and the belief we are close to the peak of the interest rate cycle”.  

CBRE Capital Markets General Manager Adrian Sacco said, "The significant uptick in stock levels and increased activity from opportunistic purchasers has driven our third National Auction Series event to be held in Sydney later this year.
