State of the Business Sales Market 15th to 30 October 2012

You can see from the graph below that the enquiry level for October is up on September, thus indicating the market is still on the slow improvement.  It is odd to think that the school holidays and the Melbourne Cup weekend is affects business sales enquiries, but our reports indicate that it does.  Hence if we were to remove the school holiday factor I think we would have found the level of enquiries for October to be much higher.  Because of the Melbourne Cup weekend we expect the first week of November to be pretty quiet, however would like to think that activity will pick up again in the second week.

We really only have a few more weeks before December, and if past years is anything to go by new enquiries and activity really starts to dry up.
