Auction clearance rates to Saturday, 29 August 2026:
β Sydney β 726 auctions, 62.2% (up from 58.1% last week)

Volumes lifted across most capitals this week and clearance rates followed, with Adelaide the outlier.
The bigger story is the year-on-year gap. This time last year Sydney cleared 78.1% and Melbourne 75.3% from over 1,000 auctions each. Fewer homes going under the hammer and softer results mean less competition on the day, and that can work in a buyer's favour if your finance is sorted.
Numbers move week to week. What matters is being ready when the right property comes up.
