Auction activity is expected to reduce from last week’s volumes, off the top of a drop in scheduled auctions in three of the capital city markets.
Cotality’s latest Auction Market Preview reveals that auction volumes across the country are expected to drop from the previous week, with 1,642 capital city homes scheduled for auction over the week ending 3 August 2025.
The week’s auction numbers mark a 4 per cent decrease from the 1,710 homes taken to auction during the week ending 27 July 2025, and register 7.6 per cent lower than the 1,778 auctions held this time last year.
While Melbourne is set to see the most activity across the capital cities, the 746 homes scheduled for auction have fallen from the 786 auctions held last week, and 834 homes taken to auction one year prior.
Sydney’s auction volume is expected to rise week-on-week, with the 608 homes scheduled for auction up slightly from the 597 auctions held last week, but registering lower than the 612 homes taken to auction last year.
While Brisbane’s 130 homes up for auction are expected to mark the highest activity across the smaller capital cities, the city’s auction volume has fallen compared to the week ending 27 July 2025, when 187 homes went under the hammer.
Adelaide’s auction volume is set to rise week-on-week, with the 94 homes set for auction increasing from the previous week’s 80 recorded auctions.
Canberra’s 56 scheduled auctions are expected to notch up slightly from the 49 properties that were taken to auction last week.
Perth currently has eight homes scheduled for auction, which is down from the previous week when 11 homes were taken to auction.
No auctions are scheduled to take place in Tasmania, marking the second week of inactivity in a row.
Looking ahead, Cotality forecasts that auction activity will fall further next week, with around 1,550 homes currently scheduled to go under the hammer in the week ending 10 August 2025.
