The combined capitals are set to see auction activity rise to the highest level in weeks, with one city leading the surge.
Auction activity is set to rise across the combined capitals in the week ending 17 August 2025 to the highest level in seven weeks, according to Cotality’s Auction Market Preview.
In total, 1,984 capital city homes are scheduled for auction this week, up 25 per cent on last week, which saw 1,587 homes go to auction, but down from the 2,065 auctions held at the same time last year.
Melbourne is set to see the biggest number of auctions this week, with 919 homes to go under the hammer.
This marks a rise from last week, when just 742 homes went to auction, and the same time last year, which saw 884 auctions held across the city.
In Sydney, 757 auctions are scheduled, up 36.2 per cent on last week when 556 homes went under the hammer.
Sydney’s auction numbers have remained consistent this week, as 756 homes were auctioned at the same time last year.
Most smaller capitals are set to see an increase in activity, except for Canberra, with Brisbane leading the charge with 136 homes scheduled for auction this week, a rise from 124 last week.
Adelaide is set to see 105 homes go under the hammer, up from 99 last week.
Canberra is in for a slight decrease, from 57 to 55 homes going to auction.
In Perth, just 11 homes are scheduled for auction, up from nine last week, while, lastly, there is one auction in Tasmania this week following three weeks of inactivity.
Cotality estimated auction activity will rise further next week, with around 2,040 homes currently scheduled to go under the hammer across the combined capitals.
