Clearance Rate Trends Over the Past Month Show Uptick in Brisbane Auctions

Brisbane auction clearance rates reached 74 percent for the four weeks ending 30 June, compared with 61 percent in the prior month, according to aggregated results from 128 scheduled sales.

The shift comes as interstate migration from New South Wales and Victoria adds pressure on stock levels while the 2032 Olympic infrastructure program accelerates planning approvals along the river corridor. Median dwelling prices sit near $780,000, yet listings remain thin on the Northside and Southside, prompting more vendors to test the auction room.

Sales activity concentrated in Hamilton and Bulimba, where riverfront and elevated blocks drew competitive bidding. Agents noted stronger attendance at inspections along Riverview Terrace in Hamilton and at properties near the Bulimba Memorial Park, with several lots selling after short campaigns.

Northside and Southside Results Compared

Northside suburbs recorded a 78 percent clearance rate on 52 auctions, while Southside suburbs cleared 69 percent of 76 listings. CoreLogic data released 2 July showed the strongest results in streets such as Crosby Road in Albion and Riding Road in Balmoral, where four of five homes sold on the day.

Prices achieved ranged from $1.15 million for a four-bedroom house in Hamilton to $685,000 for a three-bedroom unit in Moorooka, reflecting demand across price points. The Queensland Auctioneers Association recorded an average of 38 registered bidders per auction in the final week of June, up from 29 in May.

Buyers planning to enter the market should check the next scheduled auction calendar for venues including the Brisbane Showgrounds and the Rocklea markets site, where clearance patterns are expected to remain firm through the July school holiday period.
