The second busiest auction weekend for this year is coming up, with 2,436 homes set to go under the hammer, according to CoreLogic.
The latest figure represents a 7.1% rise from last weekend (2,275) and a 10.6% rise on last year’s 2,203 auctions.
Melbourne continues its strong run of auction activity this weekend, with 1,008 scheduled for auction. While this is a marginal decline from last week’s 1,016, it is the fourth consecutive week where over 1,000 homes were scheduled to go under the hammer.
Sydney is likewise expecting over a thousand homes to head to auction (1,010), with this weekend set to be the city’s second busiest for the year. This weekend’s figures are 12.5% higher than last week, and 30.8% higher than last year.

Brisbane’s auction figures for this weekend are 36.4% higher than last week.
Tasmania does not have any auctions scheduled.
Last week ultimately saw 2,275 homes go to auction, with the final clearance rate (65.8%) recording a 40 basis point lift. This ended the downward trend seen in clearance rates across the previous two weeks.
While an uplift was recorded, clearance rates were below the early June peak of 73.1%, but remained on par with the 10-year average of 65.9%, indicating a relatively balanced market.
Sydney recorded a decline in auction activity, down 1.6% to 898 homes. Clearance rates in the Harbour City fell for a third consecutive week, at 67.0%.
“Sydney buyers appear to be becoming a little more hesitant with the portion of properties passed in at auction (22.6%) rising to its highest in five weeks,” noted CoreLogic’s Kaytlin Ezzy.
The withdrawal rate in Sydney eased to 10.4% last week.
Clearance rates in Melbourne rose to their highest in three weeks, clocking in at 65.5%. This is a 1.7 percentage point rise from the previous week.
Buyers drove the change, according to Ezzy, with the portion of properties passed in at auction falling to 29.7%.
