The Australia Day long weekend marked the first round of auctions for 2025, and what a weekend it was! Barry Plant Eastern Group’s Super Auction Weekend delivered outstanding results, showcasing our commitment to achieving exceptional outcomes for our vendors.

With properties selling under the hammer and strong bidding at most auctions, the weekend reaffirmed that the market is on the road to further improving. Buyer confidence is noticeably stronger than late last year, with increased competition driving success across our auctions.

January Momentum: A Perfect Start

January has already proven to be an active month, with open-for-inspection numbers exceeding those seen before Christmas. Boxing Day was a key turning point, as nearly 50 new listings were launched online, creating a perfect four-week lead-up to this auction weekend. This strategic timing allowed us to capture leftover buyers from December while also welcoming new buyers entering the market in January.

There’s a clear sense of urgency among buyers eager to secure their dream homes ahead of anticipated interest rate adjustments. This dynamic has created the ideal environment for sellers, and the results are speaking for themselves.

With the first wave of properties now sold, we are seeing a surge in demand and a robust pipeline of properties preparing to hit the market in the coming weeks. Our listings remain strong, and early signs in 2025 indicate a recovering market fuelled by growing buyer confidence.
