Yet we have a competitor to Harcourt’s, Barfoot and Thompson coming out with different figures. They recorded 503 sales in October, down from 796 in October last year. The average sale price increased from $495,873 in September to $520,039 in October but was down from $546,679 in October last year. So thats less than 5% drop. Perhaps its more that Harcourts have lost some key accounts and are now bottom dwelling with low rent properties on their books.
