National Weekly Auction Report – September 26th 2026 | Mixed Auction Results Over AFL Grand Final Week

Key takeaways

Capital City home auction markets produced predictably mixed results over the AFL Grand Final Week with low auction numbers in Melbourne, fewer auctions in Brisbane and Adelaide but a rise in auctions in Sydney and Canberra ahead of the NRL Grand Final.

The national weekend auction market reported an average clearance rate of 49.2% over the past week which was again lower than the 50.6% reported over the previous week and also again well below the 70.6% reported over the same week last year.

Generally subdued auction markets are set to be tested over coming weeks if the RBA, as expected, raises interest rates at its meeting next week.

Note: Melbourne clearance rate steady over Grand Final week.

Melbourne again reported a steady auction clearance rate over the past AFL Grand Final week from a predictably small number of auctions.

Andrew Wilson releases his report at around 6:00 p.m. on Saturday night. A bit too early to report the Perth auctions, and in general, Perth has very few auctions.

2 what are the market waiting for i would be boots on the ground negotiating.

There is so much poor quality press around i get the confusion and things should not cost what they do but they are not going to magically drop 100k while you pay 800 bucks a week rent

From what I can tell, since I’ve been gathering my deposit is that for my price range it has already dropped 10% or more since the self processed peak in October which is over 100k easy. Instead of 2 bedder s we are getting to be able to afford 3 bedders! Crazy! But the numbers don’t show it but I can see way more value today than 6 months ago. But not looking to catch a falling knife because more interest rate rises are coming because of the huge inflation. So many experts started after COVID and don’t know what to do when there’s a downturn.

Agents here use auctions for the below reasons=
– it compresses their labour commitment and effectively COGS, as they steer all inspection enquires into a 45 minute window each week
– the auction process does the conditioning process for them saving awkward conversations with the vendor in the first person about price
– auction requires open for inspections bringing in potential buyers and also , vitally, new listings
– Form 6 appointments are usually for three months, and auction campaigns are four to six weeks. This leaves at least a month after the auction for the vendor to capitulate rather than start the process all over again, bearing in mind by this point the vendor hates the agent.
– this situation leaves the vendor with few options. Sacking the agent and going again burns up time, plus money because there is commonly issues with whom owns the marketing photo’s etc. and a doozie is the rental display furniture because they time that into the auction term, with obvious pressure points post auction,
– you need various types of strength to change agents after an auction campaign, of which most vendors don’t possess
– in summary if the auction campaign gets a good result, then fine for both parties. If not, the agents still stands a good chance of getting a commission in following weeks if you discount and this isn’t that material to them as they’ve only put in about ten hours work.

National Weekly Auction Report – May 2nd 2026 | Clearance Rates Fall”
Its obvious these clearance rates are being manipulated by the agents.
Here are the REAL results from the leading “Sydney Eastern Suburbs” property market.
Auction results from Saturday 2 May..
27 apartments listed for auction. Only 1 SOLD
24 houses listed for auction. Only 1 SOLD.
But this is nothing new. Its been like this for all of April!
Needless to say auction clearnce rates haven’t just “fallen”. They have COLLAPSED OUTRIGHT!
But your local “untrustworthy” agent wont tell you that.
They wil still tell you to sell by auction.
Its now obvious that the property market is now in DOWNTURN!
And with another interest rate rise to be announced shortly and continuing high fuel prices and hence high inflation for the foreseeable future…..
“We ain’t seen nothin’ yet”
