Raine & Horne Williamstown

Big changes are coming to Victorian property auctions from 1 October 2026.

From 1 October, sellers will be required to have their reserve price publicly disclosed at least 7 days before auction.

For buyers, this means more transparency before auction day and a clearer understanding of the seller’s expectations.

For sellers, it means the reserve and pricing strategy need to be considered earlier in the campaign.

Buying or selling at auction? Talk to your local Raine & Horne agent about what the changes mean for you.

How do I know if I’m paying the right price?

Look beyond the asking price.

An agent can assess recent sales, the property itself and current market conditions to help you make an informed decision. The right advice can make all the difference.
