It has been an interesting time in the property market this week.

•    The RBA shocked many by cutting 25 basis points from the official cash rate. Even more surprising was the fact that all banks passed on the full rate cut, which is great news for home buyers and mortgage holders.
•    Looking for a summary of last weekend’s auction activity? Catherine Cashmore discusses the Melbourne market, noting that clearance rates are still holding steady at 71%.
•    Your Investment Property lists ten Melbourne suburbs that have remained flat for two property cycles.
•    There are high hopes Google Glass, a new breed of hi-tech headset, could revolutionise the construction industry.
•    And finally, renters in Victoria are being warned to be alert to a scam that has claimed a number of victims.
