Marshall White held 109 auctions across the city, drawing nearly 350 registered bidders and maintaining consistent in-room momentum.
Market tone remained confident rather than exuberant. Auction clearance rates and bidding depth suggested that well-presented, well-guided properties continued to attract committed purchasers, particularly in tightly held pockets.
As Group Sales Director John Bongiorno noted: “With interest rates having come down and the possibility of another reduction before year’s end, conditions have been stable. We’ve also seen the Victorian government introduce measures aimed at helping first-home buyers. The bulk of the activity we’re seeing is from owner-occupiers.” He added that balance has been a consistent theme of 2025: “It’s been a really even market throughout the year between buyers and sellers; right now, the pendulum is just a touch in favour of vendors.”
Looking ahead, we expect campaigns to benefit from active buyer pools and diminished stock, provided pricing guidance remains clear and presentation strong. For owners considering a move, the combination of healthy attendance, decisive bidding on quality homes, and broader policy tailwinds points to constructive selling conditions as we approach year-end.
