The countdown is on for the auction on The Block, and the good news is, we don’t have to wait too long.
It means we are closer than ever to finding out which home will earn the most money and nab the $100,000 prize.
From the date to the auction order, to price guides, we’ve rounded up everything you need to know below.
What date is The Block 2025 auction?
The Block 2025 auction will be filmed on October 25 and will air on October 26 at 7pm on Channel Nine and 9Now.
There was much speculation about the highly anticipated date until realestate.com.au revealed it before the network.
On September 16, auctioneer Tom Panos also confirmed the date to the publication. In the interview, he revealed which home he was going to bid for.
“The 25th of October, all eyes are on house number five, the one with the pickleball court,” he said.
“I went and saw The Block in Melbourne … I’m representing Robby and Mat, house number five. I was always going to do their house if I was going to do The Block.”
What is the house order for The Block 2025 auction?
When it comes to the show’s famous auctions, the order is crucial.
We don’t know what it is yet, but it will be revealed when it airs.
How much are The Block homes being listed for at the 2025 auction?
All five listings have price guides set between $3 million and $3.3 million, so The Block 2025 auction is going to be huge!
After delivering their winning front yard, Sonny and Alicia knocked $50,000 off their reserve.
While there is much anticipation for the auction, there are fears that not all of the homes will sell, especially when they’re priced four times above Daylesford’s median house price.
According to PropTrack data from July this year, Daylesford’s median house price was $820,000 – a 7.1 per cent drop from 2024.
“As far as I’m aware, there’s only ever been one home within the township of Daylesford that ever sold for $3 million or above,” McQueen Real Estate director Kim McQueen, who is also Robby and Mat’s agent, told realestate.com.au.
The Block’s executive producer, Julian Cress, said he was uncertain about all of the homes selling.
“We are trying to do something that has never been done before, auction five high-end homes in Daylesford on the same day,” he said. “And while the homes all deserve to sell well and command high prices, we are not certain that we can do it in one day. But we hope to.
“So as usual, we are as nervous as we always are going into a Block auction.”
However, Domain’s National Managing Editor Alice Stolz said it was a good opportunity for sellers.
“Interest rates are lower, clearance rates are higher and overall supply is decent,” she explained. “We’re seeing a lift in buyer enquiry across regional Victoria, particularly in commutable lifestyle hubs like Daylesford.
“But things can get tricky if sellers overbake what their homes are worth. Deals are not getting done if sellers are dreaming.”
Is Adrian Portelli going to The Block 2025 auction?
Adrian Portelli is another reason why there are concerns about the auction.
The billionaire has long been associated with the TV juggernaut, buying the properties year after year.
In the past, he raised eyebrows over his extravagant bids and the drastic differences in profits contestants took home.
However, the bidder made a dramatic exit from the show after he bought every house in 2024. Despite this, he was spotted at Emma and Ben’s property, so an appearance might be on the cards!
Leading up to the auction, a feud has been brewing between him and host Scott Cam.
It has escalated so much that the host has had to address rumours of Adrian being banned from this coming auction.
“We didn’t ban him; it’s a public auction, anyone can turn up,” he previously told The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick. “We just kindly said, ‘You’ve had a good run – why don’t we leave it to some families to try and buy the houses?’”
Months before this, Adrian revealed that he’s joined Channel Seven for its upcoming reality renovation series My Reno Rules.
“But I think Adrian has gone over to another network to do something anyway, so he wouldn’t be coming to our auction if he’s doing something over there, Scott continued. “If he wants to turn up, he can.”
Scott also told Nova 100’s Jase & Lauren that he was welcome to buy one home, and the show preferred that he didn’t buy them all.
While Adrian has allowed previous Blockheads to win life-changing money, Britt and Taz told The Daily Mail that they wanted to be realistic about it all.
“We spoke to ex-contestants and they’ve said, you can’t just rely on the Adrian Portellos of the world to come in,” Taz said.
“You’ve really got to market it. And we put our heart and soul into it.”
Who will bid at The Block 2025 auction?
If Adrian Portelli doesn’t turn up, are any other prolific bidders expected this year?
Julian told TV Tonight that Danny Wallis is registered.
“Frank Valentic, the buyer’s advocate, has been taking a few of his clients through over the last few weeks,” he added. “He’s a wonderful friend of the show and he’s bought a bunch of properties for his clients, and they’ve always, they’ve all been very happy with their purchases.”
