Preliminary data indicates that about three-quarters of the properties planned for auction have been successfully sold, with around one-third completing transactions before the auction. However, significant differences exist in the sales outcomes across different regions, price points, and types of properties, leading to divergent views among real estate agents regarding market trends.

Cooley, one of Sydney's largest auction groups, has stated that while sales of quality residences have been overall good, 'B-grade' and 'C-grade' properties require realistic pricing. Damien Cooley, the company's director, emphasized that vendors who price their properties realistically tend to receive better responses, highlighting the importance of accurate price guidance for successful auctions.
