Weekly Australian Auction Market Analysis: 26–28 September 2025
The Melbourne auction market pushed through spring’s final stretch with the kind of stamina that has defined this campaign, absorbing a surge in listings and still clearing the bulk of quality stock. Following last week’s Super Saturday result, where combined capitals achieved 72.3 per cent and Melbourne cleared 75.7 per cent, this week settled into a more sustainable rhythm. Melbourne recorded 1,345 scheduled auctions with 984 reported results and a clearance rate of 68 per cent. That is a step down from the frenzy of Super Saturday, but it is still a strong outcome given the Melbourne Cup lull, the snap-back in volumes that inevitably follows, and the persistent headwind of higher serviceability. The median sale price in Melbourne came in at $991,000, pointing to firm buyer depth in family-friendly corridors and renewed activity from investors targeting yield and depreciation benefits as the year winds down.
Melbourne and Regional Auction Market Update: 12–14 September 2025
The auction market has once again shown its resilience, holding steady despite high interest rates and cautious buyer sentiment. Over the weekend of 12–14 September, clearance rates across Australia’s capital cities remained in the 70 to 75 per cent range, driven by renewed spring activity.
