With campaigns now fully underway, the build-up to Super Saturday on 25 October is gaining real velocity. Results over the past fortnight indicate a strong day ahead for Melbourne, with current auction clearance rates hovering around an impressive 80% for Marshall White properties and competitive, yet disciplined, bidding across a range of price points. Buyer sentiment is increasingly time-sensitive as the end of the year approaches: inspections are well-attended, first-to-second inspection turnarounds are short, and pre-auction interest is common when pricing is accurate and presentation is on point.
On the supply side, stock levels remain somewhat below what many had expected. Quality listings are available, but buyer demand remains the key factor, especially in popular family areas and sought-after school zones in prime neighbourhoods. With demand surpassing supply, the momentum is shifting to the early stage of campaigns: the first 10–14 days set the tone, and vendors who are prepared from day one hold the advantage.
Looking ahead to Super Saturday, we expect an elevated read on buyer depth and price resilience. With more auctions falling on the same day, the feedback loop will be swift, providing sellers with clear guidance on where demand is strongest and how to position themselves for a pre-2026 result.
As Marshall White Sales Director, John Bongiorno says, “Super Saturday is shaping as the spring crescendo. Clearance rates have been strong, and buyer activity remains high; this is a good juncture to set your campaign plan.”
