A significantly improved level of demand at the top of the market paved the way for the latest edition of the Goffs Orby Sale to post a good set of final results which more than consolidated the gains made by this sale over the last three years.

The €2.85 million mark which headed last year’s Orby was out of reach but, for the first time in eight years, the sale produced two seven-figure transactions. These helped the aggregate come in at almost €38.5 million which represented an 11% increase from last year. The average of €109,234 was up by 8% while the €70,000 median was a progression of some 23%. At 87% the clearance rate kept pace with last year.
