Both the volume of auctions and the preliminary success rate declined across the capital cities last week.
Cotality’s latest Property Market Indicator Summary showed that nationwide, 1,786 properties were auctioned off in the week ending 6 July 2025, which was the lowest volume of auctions since the King’s Birthday four weeks prior.
The preliminary auction clearance rate came in at 73.1 per cent across the combined capitals, which was down from the 74.5 per cent recorded in the week ending 29 June 2025.
Melbourne came in as the busiest auction market for the week ending 6 July 2025, but the 756 auctions held last week marked a sharp fall from the week prior when 962 homes were taken to auction.
Melbourne’s preliminary clearance last week registered at 75.5 per cent, which was slightly above the 75.2 per cent recorded during the prior week.
Sydney hosted 691 auctions last week, which was a measurable drop from the 771 auctions held during the week ending 29 June 2025.
The city also recorded a drop in the auction success rate, with last week’s preliminary clearance rate of 72.5 per cent registering 1 percentage point lower than the previous week’s result.
Brisbane saw the most auction activity across the smaller capital cities, with the city’s 155 homes taken to market returning an early rate of 70.8 per cent.
Adelaide hosted 102 auctions last week and returned a preliminary clearance rate of 65.7 per cent.
Of the 69 homes taken to market across the ACT, 73.1 per cent have returned a positive result so far, which is the market’s highest preliminary clearance rate since the second week of March this year.
The results for five of Perth’s 11 auctions have been revealed so far, of which only three houses were successfully sold in the week ending 29 June 2025.
In Tasmania, two homes were taken to auction, with the outcome of one auction not yet being revealed, and one house being passed in.
Cotality said the volume of auctions is set to fluctuate over the coming weeks, with approximately 1,445 homes scheduled to go under the hammer during the week ending 13 July 2025, before rising the week after to around 1,500.
