Melbourne recorded a 63.4% auction clearance rate from 654 scheduled auctions in the first week of spring 2026, a slight increase from the prior week. However, overall market conditions still favor realistic sellers.

For the western growth corridor, a cautiously encouraging clearance rate suggests that well-priced properties can still find buyers. Sellers should manage expectations, while buyers might find opportunities if they are prepared to negotiate in a less frenzied market.
