Super Saturday delivered a confidence-boosting, momentum-setting result across Melbourne. Marshall White conducted just over 100 auctions on Saturday, 25 October, and our strong clearance rate tracked broadly in line with year-to-date averages. While the day’s auction list appeared sizeable for a single day, overall spring stock remains lower than in recent years, including past Super Saturdays, so demand concentrated meaningfully on quality, well-presented homes.
Enquiries in the lead-up were consistent, inspections were well attended, and on the day, most campaigns attracted multiple bidders. Well-targeted, transparent campaigns encouraged decisive bidding once reserves were within reach. Where properties were buyer-aligned in their guides and professionally presented, competition pushed results to the upper end of the range, reinforcing that pricing discipline and presentation excellence remain decisive.
The key takeaway is balance. Underlying supply remains constrained compared to previous springs, and this scarcity continues to support well-priced, well-located listings. For vendors considering a late-spring or early-summer sale, the message is clear: establish an evidence-based price strategy, invest in presentation, and leverage Marshall White’s data-driven campaigns to tap into active buyer depth. For buyers, pre-approval and readiness remain advantages — there are opportunities to act quickly and with confidence on quality listings.
Overall, Super Saturday served as a healthy litmus test for the final stretch of 2025, with strong attendance, solid competition, evidence-based pricing, and excellent conversion rates where price and presentation aligned.
