RBA HOLDS CASH RATE AT 4.35%
The Reserve Bank of Australia has today left the official cash rate unchanged at 4.35%, following three rate increases earlier this year.
While todayโ€™s decision provides some welcome stability for borrowers, the RBA has made it clear that the inflation battle is not over yet.
Inflation remains too high, and the RBA has indicated that it is prepared to increase rates further if upside inflation risks materialise.
As always, weโ€™ll continue to monitor the data and what it means for property markets across Australia at DMC Property Advisory.

๐Ÿ“Š Cotality July 2026 Update

The Australian housing market has entered a new phase.

Sydney and Melbourne are now leading the downturn, while Brisbane and Perth are showing clear signs of slowing momentum.

At DMC, we're already seeing investors pause, review their strategies and take advantage of improving buying conditions.

Interestingly, softer markets often create some of the best opportunities for well-prepared buyers.

I've just sent my July Market Update to our client database, including the latest Cotality Home Value Index and my commentary on what it means for investors.

If you'd like a copy or would like to discuss your own property strategy, feel free to get in touch.

28/06/2026

Cotality Australia has reported the preliminary auction clearance rate edged a little higher this week, rising to 49.2%, from 47.4% a week ago (revised down to 42.3% once finalised). This was the second consecutive week where the preliminary clearance rate has held below 50%.

Considering the revision between the preliminary and final auction clearance rate has averaged 5.0 percentage points over the past four weeks, we are likely to see the auction clearance once again finalise in the low 40% range.

Adelaide and Brisbane buoyed the preliminary clearance rate, where there was a rise in the share of successful auctions, while the two majors, Melbourne and Sydney, recorded a slightly lower preliminary clearance rates over the week.

21.5% of auctions were withdrawn from the market this week, a smaller portion than last weekโ€™s preliminary reading of 23.6%, and 41.3% of successful auctions were sold prior to going under the hammer.

With 1,771 homes taken to auctions, volume was down a further 5.8% this week and tracking 13.4% lower than at the same time a year ago. After holding higher than last yearโ€™s levels through most of the year, since mid-May, the volume of auctions has held consistently lower year on year, indicating cyclical factors are at play as vendors rethink their selling plans amid persistently weak clearance rates.

ยท Melbourne led the auction activity this week, with 815 homes taken to market (11.5% lower than a week ago and 15.3% down on levels one year prior). So far, 50.2% of auctions have reported a successful outcome, down from 50.6% the week prior (revised down to 43.6% once finalised) and the lowest preliminary clearance rate since the week ending September 5th, 2021 (44.5%) when Melbourne was enduring its 6th period of strict lockdowns.

ยท Sydneyโ€™s preliminary clearance rate fell to 47.3% this week, only 0.1 percentage points lower than a week ago (47.4%, which revised down to 41.7% once finalised), but the lowest early outcome since the week ending April 19, 2020. 642 auctions were held this week in Syndey, level with a week ago and 16.7% lower than at the same time last year.

ยท 139 auctions were held in Brisbane this week, 3.5% lower than a week ago and 1.4% down on last year. The preliminary clearance rate rose 6.0 percentage points this week, but at 39.3%, this was the lowest early success rate of any capital city.

ยท The volume trend in Adelaide has bucked the broader softening pattern, with 115 auctions held this week, a 23.7% lift on last weekโ€™s volume and almost 28% more than a year ago. The preliminary clearance rate also bounced higher, reaching 68.7%, the highest early outcome in five weeks.

ยท Only 47 auctions were held in Canberra, with 39.5% recording a successful result so far.

ยท Perth recorded 13 auctions, with four reported as sold, and Tasmania held no auctions.

Across the combined capitals, Cotality Australia is reporting a preliminary auction clearance rate of 47.4% this week - the lowest reading since the final week of April in 2020. While the preliminary clearance rate has been holding below 60% over ten of the past 12 weeks, this was the first time it has fallen below 50% since the early stages of the pandemic.

23.6% of auctions were withdrawn this week, adding to the negative outcome, and nearly half (48%) were sold prior to the home going under the hammer, implying vendors are becoming increasingly unwilling to test the market under auction conditions.

ยท Melbourne saw 910 auctions held this week, 6.7% fewer than a week ago and down 1.8% on the number of auctions held over the same week last year. 50.6% of auctions have reported a successful result so far, 7 percentage points down on last weekโ€™s 57.6% preliminary clearance rate (revised down to 51.9% on final numbers). This was Melbourneโ€™s lowest preliminary clearance rate since the first week of September in 2021 (44.5%) which was during Melbourneโ€™s 6th period of COVID lockdowns.

ยท Sydney hosted 645 auctions this week, a 17.5% drop on the number of auctions held a week ago and 17.1% lower than at the same time last year. 47.4% of auctions have reported a positive result so far, in-line with the combined capitals average, but the lowest preliminary clearance rate since the week ending April 19, 2020. Sydneyโ€™s preliminary clearance rate was 5.4 percentage points lower than a week ago (52.8% which revised down to 47.2% on final numbers).

ยท 142 auctions were held in Brisbane, level with the volume of auctions a week ago but 6.6% lower than the same week last year. Only one third (33.3%) of Brisbane auctions have reported a successful result so far. The preliminary clearance rate was lower two weeks ago (31.9%) and this was the fifth straight week where the preliminary clearance rate has been below 50% across Brisbane.

ยท Adelaide saw 91 auctions this week, 14.2% fewer than a week ago, but 18.2% higher than the same week last year. 40% of auctions have reported a successful result so far, Adeliadeโ€™s lowest preliminary clearance rate since May 2020.

ยท The ACT held 65 auctions this week, down 14.5% on last weekโ€™s volume and level with a year ago. 47.1% of auctions have cleared, based on the early update, 1.4 percentage points higher than last week.

ยท 16 auctions were held in Perth, with 40% reporting a positive result so far and no auctions were held in Tasmania.

The number of auctions is set to reduce further over the coming weeks โ€“ partly a seasonal trend, but also likely a factor of weaker selling conditions. Next week we have around 1,800 auctions on the books at the moment, reducing to less than 1,500 the week after.

At its meeting yesterday, the RBA decided to leave the cash rate target unchanged at 4.35%.

Inflation picked up materially in the second half of 2025, and information since the beginning of this year confirms that some of the increase reflected greater capacity pressures. The latest data show that headline and underlying inflation are still too high. Oil prices have eased in recent weeks, although energy and most related commodity prices remain higher than they were prior to the conflict in the Middle East. There are signs that some firms experiencing cost pressures are increasing the prices of their goods and services and others are looking to do so. Short-term measures of inflation expectations have eased but remain higher than earlier in the year.

Financial conditions have tightened this year in response to three increases in the cash rate target. Money market interest rates and government bond yields have risen, and the exchange rate has appreciated. There are signs that growth in consumer spending is slowing as expected and momentum in the housing market has shifted, with housing prices falling in some capital cities. The unemployment rate was higher than expected in April, but other measures of labour market conditions have been more resilient. Growth in business investment is strong and credit is readily available to both households and businesses.

The preliminary result is down from 54.5% the week prior, which revised back to 49.0%, the first time the final capital city clearance rate has been below 50% since May 2020.

The weak result was on lower volume, with the number of auctions held down 55% relative to the week prior. The drop in auction volume can be attributed to the Kings Birthday long weekend in most states (except Qld and WA). The volume was also 13.9% down on a year ago โ€“ a time when housing conditions were accelerating after two rate cuts.

โ€ข Sydney was the most active auction market, with 491 homes going under the hammer, a 50% drop from the week prior and 21% below levels a year ago. The preliminary clearance rate rose slightly this week, from 51.8% a week ago (revised lower to 46.5% once finalised) to 52.9% which was the third lowest early clearance rate so far this year.

โ€ข Melbourne recorded an early clearance rate of 52.3% this week, a sharp drop from the week prior (58.1% which revised down to 51.9% once finalised) the lowest preliminary clearance rate since June 2021. The volume of auctions also fell sharply, down 67% from the week prior to 422.

โ€ข 138 auctions were held in Brisbane. Despite the absence of a long weekend, Brisbane volumes also feel sharply, down 30% from the week prior. The preliminary clearance rate of 31.9% was the lowest since May 2020.

โ€ข Adelaide hosted 79 auctions this week, 40% lower than a week ago and 4% down on the same week a year ago. The preliminary clearance rate, at 64.2%, was the third lowest so far this year.

โ€ข The ACT saw 36 homes go under the hammer, a 52% drop in volume over the week. The preliminary clearance rate of 50% was a sharp rise from the last weeks multi-year low point of 39.1%.

โ€ข 14 auctions were held in Perth, with 72.7% reporting a successful result so far and only two auctions were held in Tasmania.

The volume of auctions is scheduled to bounce back next week, with around 2,200 homes currently scheduled to go under the hammer, falling back to less than 2,000 the week after.
