It’s set to be a busy weekend for house hunters with auction volumes expected to exceed 2,000 homes for the first time since June, according to CoreLogic. Numbers have been slowly increasing over the past few weeks but this weekend, 2,086 homes have been scheduled for auction across the capitals, a 14.9 percent increase on last week.

Sydney will be the busiest capital, with 859 homes set to go under the hammer, a 34.4 percent jump on the previous week and a 45.1 percent hike on this time last year.

The news out of Melbourne is less dramatic, with 832 homes to go to auction, up 6.8 percent week on week and -10.3 percent less than this time last year.

In Adelaide, there are 137 homes scheduled for auction while in Perth, it’s 21 homes and Brisbane is set to host 146 auctions. Canberra is set to host 88 auctions this week and there are three auctions scheduled in Tasmania, down from four over the previous week.

Going warm and fuzzy for the 2024 Pantone Colour of the Year

Prepare yourself for the year of the peach

Pantone has released its 2024 Colour of the Year — and it’s warm and fuzzy.

Peach Fuzz has been named as the colour to sum up the year ahead, chosen to imbue a sense of “kindness and tenderness, communicating a message of caring and sharing, community and collaboration” said vice president of the Pantone Color Institute, Laurie Pressman.

“A warm and cosy shade highlighting our desire for togetherness with others or for enjoying a moment of stillness and the feeling of sanctuary this creates, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz presents a fresh approach to a new softness,” she said.

Pantone Colour of the Year is often a reflection of world mood and events

The choice of a soft pastel will come as little surprise to those who follow the Pantone releases, which are often a reflection of world affairs and community mood. Typically, when economies are buoyant and international security is assured, colours tend to the bolder spectrum. Given the ongoing war in Ukraine, the Israeli-Gaza conflict and talk of recession in many countries, the choice of a softer, more reassuring colour is predictable. 

“At a time of turmoil in many aspects of our lives, our need for nurturing, empathy and compassion grows ever stronger as does our imaginings of a more peaceful future,” she said. “We are reminded that a vital part of living a full life is having the good health, stamina, and strength to enjoy it.”

The colour also reflects a desire to turn inward and exercise self care in an increasingly frenetic world.

“As we navigate the present and build toward a new world, we are reevaluating what is important,” she said. “Reframing how we want to live, we are expressing ourselves with greater intentionality and consideration. 

“Recalibrating our priorities to align with our internal values, we are focusing on health and wellbeing, both mental and physical, and cherishing what’s special — the warmth and comfort of spending time with friends and family, or simply taking a moment of time to ourselves.”

Each year since 2000, Pantone has released a colour of the year as a trendsetting tool for marketers and branding agents. It is widely taken up in the fashion and interior design industries, influencing collections across the spectrum.
