Auction Market Preview - week ending 16 November 2025

Sydney and Melbourne set to host more than 1,300 auctions each

There are currently 3,245 homes scheduled to go under the hammer across the combined capitals – the busiest auction week since the lead up to Easter last year (3,519). This week’s numbers are up 5.8% on last week (3,068) and 12.0% higher than this time last year (2,898). If all these auctions proceed, it will be the busiest auction week of the year for Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra.

Sydney is on track for its busiest auction week of the year, with 1,332 homes currently scheduled to go under the hammer this week, up from 1,186 last week and 1,098 this time last year.

Melbourne is set to host 1,381 auctions this week, compared to 1,388 last week and 1,340 this time last year. This will likely be the seventh time so far this year where Melbourne’s weekly auction activity has risen above 1,300.

Across the smaller capitals, Brisbane is set to be the busiest market this week, with 220 homes scheduled to go under the hammer, compared to 209 last week. There are 159 auctions scheduled in Adelaide this week, up from 130 last week, while 144 auctions are set to go under the hammer in Canberra, up from 136 last week. In Perth, nine auctions are scheduled this week, down from 16 last week, while there are no auctions scheduled in Tasmania this week, after three homes were taken under the hammer last week.

Next week we are expecting to see around 2,980 homes taken to auction across the combined capitals.
