< 1 min
Grand final fever and the long weekend have dampened scheduled auction activity this weekend, CoreLogic reports.
The number of homes scheduled for auction this weekend is set to halve, with 1,324 properties listed, marking the quietest week since mid June. Melbourne will experience the quietest week since Easter, CoreLogic data shows, with 223 homes prepared to go under the hammer. In Sydney, 805 properties are expected to go to market, the lowest number in seven weeks.
With long weekends in Queensland and South Australia, numbers are also down in Brisbane (111) and Adelaide (86), less than half the properties available for auction the previous week. It’s a less dramatic drop in Canberra, where 83 homes are scheduled for auction, down -22.4 percent on the previous week.

A sanctuary of modern design and craftsmanship, this stunning north-facing family home in Dover Heights sets a new benchmark for luxury coastal living. Perched on a sun-drenched 563sqm block, the newly renovated residence combines elegance with functionality, making it the ultimate entertainer’s retreat.
Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, the open-plan living and dining areas lead out to a sunlit alfresco zone with a swimming pool. “It’s where we spend most of our time, whether we’re hosting friends or relaxing with family,” says the owner. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors maximise the natural light and offer views of the beautifully landscaped backyard.
At the heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen equipped with premium Bosch and Siemens appliances, including two 900mm ovens, two dishwashers, and a gas wok with dual extraction fans.
Upstairs, the four spacious bedrooms offer plenty of privacy. The master suite is a true retreat with a luxurious ensuite and custom-built wardrobes. Two other bedrooms feature their own ensuites, while a home office and gym complete the upper level. Convenience is key, with lift access to both floors, a remote-controlled garage with internal access, and off-street parking for three cars.
The home is packed with modern features like Daikin ducted air-conditioning with room-specific controls, rain-sensor skylights and CCTV. Sustainability is also a priority, with 48 solar roof panels and a Tesla 2.5kw solar edge inverter reducing the home’s environmental impact.
Located a short stroll from Rodney Reserve and local favourite Archies Café Co., the house is close to prestigious schools, Rose Bay village, and the iconic Bondi Beach. It’s the perfect blend of convenience and tranquillity, offering a family-friendly neighbourhood while being just minutes away from Sydney’s finest attractions.
With its timeless Hampton-style aesthetic and modern amenities, 60 Blake Street is more than just a home—it’s a lifestyle. Whether you’re entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening by the pool, every inch of this property has been thoughtfully designed for comfort and luxury.
