clearance rates

During the week ending 27 July 2025, auction activity surged in capital cities, with both the number of auctions and the initial success rate rising notably.

Auction clearance rates have fallen to their lowest level since the early stages of the pandemic, with brokers reporting softer sentiment and increasingly cautious buyers.

The combined capitals preliminary clearance rate held above 60 per cent for the sixth consecutive week, latest Corelogic data reveals.

Capital city clearance rates have slipped ahead of a possible September cash rate hike, while rising auction volumes require agents to sharpen their spring property campaigns.

Auction clearance levels have hit their highest rate since June 2023, according to new data.

The portion of Australian auctions that returned a positive result fell this week despite an overall activity increase, according to CoreLogic.

Australia’s property market has opened the year with stronger-than-expected momentum, with early auction results suggesting buyer demand is holding firm despite the recent rate hike.

New figures from Corelogic have revealed that both auction levels and preliminary clearance rates fell marginally in the week just gone.

Auction volumes last week roughly equalled the week before and the latest preliminary clearance rates indicate sales may follow the same pattern.
