Australia's No 3 estate agent gives earnings downgrade
McGrath expects pre-tax earnings of A$26-27 million for the year to June 30, down a sixth from Nov forecast
Sydney

Although McGrath has just 3.2 per cent of Australia's fragmented residential real estate listings market, the warning is feeding into fears that Australia's property market is set to flatline, or even fall, after years of double-digit growth.
