Combined capital city auction activity holds below 2,000 again this week

There are 1,961 homes currently scheduled for auction across the combined capitals this week, up from 1,735 last week. The Labour Day/King’s birthday long weekends in NSW, ACT, QLD and SA will be impacting on auction volume this week.

In Melbourne, 1,111 homes are set to go under the hammer this week, up from just 224 last week. The lower volume last week can be attributed to the AFL Grand Final long weekend. This time last year, 1,095 homes were taken to auction across the city.

There are 557 auctions scheduled across Sydney this week, down from 1,164 last week. Over the same week last year, 524 auctions were held in Sydney.

Across the smaller capitals, Brisbane is set to be the busiest auction market with 148 homes set to go under the hammer this week, in line with last week. There are 73 auctions scheduled in Adelaide this week, down from 78 last week, while 61 auctions are scheduled in Canberra, down from 116 last week. Perth has 11 auctions on the radar this week, up from just five last week, while there are no auctions scheduled in Tasmania.
