The local share market has finished in the green and not far from record levels after being down much of the day, while the company that owns realestate.com.au considered a multibillion-dollar merger and acquisition deal.
After dropping 68 points, or 0.8 per cent, in the first 15 minutes of trading, the benchmark S&P/ASX200 index ground higher for most of the day, moving into positive territory around 2pm.
