Ex-NRL star Sam Burgess<\/a> is struggling to enjoy the same success post-footy he enjoyed while playing Rugby League. Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n

\n

South Sydney Rabbitohs assistant coach Sam Burgess has pushed back the auction of his Little Bay investment apartment by a fortnight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Originally listed with $1.2m guidance<\/a>, the top-floor apartment\u00a0on Cawood Ave, Little Bay<\/a>, with ocean views will now go to auction on April 18.<\/p>\n

NG Farah\u2019s Martin Farah and Steve Ausling have tweaked the price guidance down to between $1.175m and $1.225m.<\/p>\n

These changes are certainly emblematic of the hit-and-miss market at the moment.<\/p>\n

But success came auction eve for Sydney Swans midfielder Luke Parker and his wife, interior designer Kate Lawrence-Parker, who sold their stylish new Matraville duplex ahead of last week\u2019s auction for more than $3m. The guide from McGrath agents Simon Nolan and Joshua Karam had always been $2.75m.<\/p>\n

Agents across Sydney advise there\u2019s no doubt that prices have had a floor below which they don\u2019t fall during early autumn, given the lack of stock and cautious buyer demand.<\/p>\n

There were 12,000 new listings, auction and private treaty, across Sydney last month, according to SQM Research, compared to 15,000 in February last year.<\/p>\n

Given the general economic uncertainty, vendors have been reluctant to come forward, especially if they don\u2019t wish to test just how much prices are down against their boomtime peaks.<\/p>\n

Of course there\u2019s still the \u201cmust list and sell\u201d markets that arise after death, divorces and births.<\/p>\n

Since Sam Burgess\u2019s listing last month, it has emerged that the 34-year-old retired league player and his partner Lucy Graham\u00a0are expecting their first child together<\/a>.<\/p>\n
