On June 21, 2025, the auction clearance rate in Eltham stood at 0 percent, with zero properties sold at auction as all potential sales were either passed in or sold prior to auction.

Auction Clearance Outcomes

The result followed a period where properties reached the market through different channels. Local records show that participants often completed transactions ahead of the scheduled auction date rather than proceeding to the public bidding stage. This pattern aligns with the data from view.com.au sales and auction results for the suburb.

Recent Sales Activity

In early 2025 two Eltham properties changed hands during Barry Plant's Australia Day Super Auction Weekend. The house at 15 Withers Way sold for 1,525,000 dollars while the property at 6 Lilian Parade sold for 1,160,000 dollars. These transactions occurred alongside the broader median house price of 1.2 million dollars recorded for the suburb.

Price Movements and Market Context

The median sale price for houses reflected a 6.9 percent quarterly price decrease as of late 2025, according to reiv.com.au market insights. Separate data covering Eltham Station in London showed average prices of 563,056 pounds over the preceding year, with semi-detached properties averaging 619,500 pounds and recording a 17 percent decline from the year before. These figures illustrate how auction and sale outcomes can vary across different reporting periods and locations sharing the same name.

Market participants continue to monitor clearance rates and price trends when deciding whether to list properties at auction or pursue private negotiations. The available sales data provides a factual basis for assessing current conditions without reference to specific future policy actions.
