This time last year, 80.0% of reported auctions were successful.

Despite the recent weather and flooding events in Brisbane and Sydney, auction withdrawal rates have been relatively low with 16% of auctions withdrawn across Sydney last week, compared with a year to date average of 12%. In Brisbane, 18% of auctions were withdrawn (year to date average of 11%).


Melbourne hosted 1,426 auctions this week, down from 1,574 over the previous week and 487 this time last year.

Over the same week last year, 75.2% of reported auctions were successful.


In Sydney, 993 homes were taken to auction across the city, down from 1,202 over the previous week and 789 this time last year. The clearance rate was down week-on-week, with 74.6% of the 808 results collected so far reporting a successful result. The previous week saw a preliminary clearance rate of 76.9%, revising down to 72.6% at final figures, while this time last year, 82.9% of reported auctions were successful.


Across the smaller capitals, Adelaide recorded the highest preliminary auction clearance rate (82.1%), followed by Canberra (75.7%) and Brisbane (69.8%). In Perth, one of the three results collected so far was successful. In terms of auction volumes, Adelaide was the busiest auction market this week with 194 homes taken to auction across the city, followed by Brisbane (180), Canberra (140) and Perth (10).
