Melbourne’s property market entered its traditional AFL Grand Final pause over the weekend ending Sunday, 27 September 2026. Only a fraction of the properties that would normally come to auction were listed, giving buyers, sellers and agents a short interruption before the expected return of much heavier spring activity in October.

Melbourne’s spring auction market faced its most meaningful test so far over the weekend ending Sunday, 20 September 2026. More properties came to market, but the larger supply of homes was met with a softer clearance rate.
