Preliminary auction clearance rate at lowest level since Apr Preliminary auction clearance rate at lowest level since April 2020 Press Release Published on: June 8, 2026 Auction clearance rates remain at levels last seen during the early months of the COVID pandemic, with the preliminary combined capitals result falling to 51.1% last week, the lowest outcome since the week ending April 26th, 2020. The preliminary result is down from 54.5% the week prior, which revised back to 49.0%, the first time the final capital city clearance rate has been below 50% since May 2020. The weak result was on lower volume, with 1,182 capital city homes taken to auction last week, down 55.5% relative to the week prior. The drop in auction volume can be attributed to the Kings Birthday long weekend in most states (except Qld and WA). The volume was also 13.9% down on a year ago – a time when housing conditions were accelerating after two rate cuts. Sydney was the most active auction market last week, with 491 homes going under the hammer, a 50% drop from the week prior and 21% lower than this time last year. The preliminary clearance rate rose slightly last week, from 51.8% the previous week (r…

If you are looking at a low reported clearance-rate snapshot, such as 36%, that would sit well below the level usually associated with seller-favourable conditions. More recent public auction trackers show Melbourne/Victoria sitting closer to the low-to-mid 50% range in late May 2026, with Domain reporting Melbourne at 55% and realestate.com.au reporting Victoria at 53% for the week ending 24 May 2026. That still does not point to a broad seller’s market. Melbourne in 2026 is better described as a fragmented market : growth corridors and investor-heavy apartment precincts are more negotiable, while tightly held inner-ring suburbs can still attract competitive bidding on well-presented stock. The label “seller’s market…
