The 2024 auction season in Australia is off to an electrifying start, witnessing a remarkable 2775 listings hitting the auction block across the capital cities last week, as reported by CoreLogic. Adding to the momentum, Ray White Burleigh Group (RWBG) orchestrated an intriguing online auction at Currumbin Beach Vikings Surf Life Saving Club in early February, featuring 47 properties with an impressive 75% clearance rate. Departing from the traditional onsite auctions scattered across the Gold Coast, this fully digital RWBG event attracted the participation of roughly 2000 individuals who either tuned in or actively bid throughout the day, benefiting from personalized ‘one-on-one’ attention from their agents. RWBG Principal, Tiger Malan, asserts that online auctions, born out of the COVID-19 pandemic, have proven to be more than a temporary solution, emphasising their lasting impact on the real estate landscape. While acknowledging that not every property may suit online auctions, the RWBG event exemplifies the industry’s shift toward this digital frontier, signaling a promising evolution in the Australian housing market.

However, a closer inspection unveils that excluding these outliers, particularly rare multimillion-dollar beachfront sales, Mermaid Beach remains ablaze with activity. Properties in the one to six million dollar range boast robust annual growth, exemplified by record-setting sales like 19 Cronulla Avenue, signaling that beneath the surface, Mermaid Beach is still a coveted paradise amidst the perceived market turmoil.
