Brisbane auction market at a glance
Between the week ending 23 May 2026 and the week ending 31 October 2026, Domain tracked 3,706 scheduled auctions across Brisbane over 24 weeks. Of the 3,150 results reported, 789 sold, 2,049 were passed in and 312 were withdrawn, giving a combined clearance rate of 25%. That points to a weak market where buyers hold most of the bargaining power. The same weeks a year earlier averaged 52%, so Brisbane is running 27 percentage points below last year. Reported sales over the period added up to $807m.
Conditions softened over the period, with the clearance rate slipping from 26% across the first 4 weeks to 20% across the last 4. The best week was the week ending 27 June 2026 at 35%, and the weakest was the week ending 6 June 2026 at 18%. The busiest week was the week ending 31 October 2026, with 225 auctions scheduled. The most recent week, ending 31 October 2026, cleared 19% from 147 reported results against 60% a year ago (preliminary figures).
Weekly median sale prices ranged from $950k to $1.71m, with a median of $1.20m across all weeks. Looking at individual properties, 26% of sales were secured before auction day, 61% sold under the hammer and 13% sold after being passed in. Vendors kept the price private on 28% of sales. By property type, units and apartments performed best with a 34% clearance rate, while houses cleared 28%.
Clearance rate trend
The clearance rate is the share of reported auctions that sold, either before, at or after auction. Withdrawn auctions count as unsold. A rate above 70% usually signals a strong market, while a rate below 60% suggests buyers have the upper hand.
Auction volumes
3,706 auctions were scheduled over the period, an average of 154 a week. 10% of reported auctions were withdrawn before auction day, often because the vendor chose to sell privately or to wait for better conditions.
Median sale price
Domain's weekly median reflects the properties that sold that week with a published price, so it moves with the mix of suburbs and property types on offer as well as with values.
How properties sold
Each property is counted once, using its final outcome. 5,267 properties had a result across 637 suburbs. 320 of them had been rescheduled at least once before their result, and a further 104 were rescheduled with no result yet.
| Outcome | Properties | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Sold at auction | 18.0% | |

| Sold after auction | 3.8% | |

Methodology
Figures come from Domain's weekly Brisbane auction results, collected for every week Domain publishes (23 May 2026 to 31 October 2026). Headline clearance rates, volumes, total sales and weekly medians are Domain's city summaries. The combined clearance rate is total sold divided by total reported across all weeks, and last year's figure is the average of Domain's same week comparisons. The most recent week is preliminary and may be revised.
Property, suburb and agency breakdowns use the individual results Domain lists. These can differ slightly from the headline totals because not every reported auction is listed individually. Each property is counted once with its final outcome, and rescheduled auctions are excluded until they have a result. Domain's Brisbane region includes some surrounding areas outside the metropolitan boundary.
