Time to make the first move!
With Auctions scheduled for late January, your property will capture the attention of both motivated buyers from the current market and new 2027 buyers beginning their search. Take advantage of the highest online traffic days including Boxing Day and New Year’s Day, and start the new year ahead of the market.
Our last First Move event held in January 2026 was a spectacular success, attracting 2,571 attendees to open homes, the highest monthly attendance recorded so far this year and well above the 2026 monthly average of 2,009.

The Auction Event that set the tone for 2026.
Last year’s First Move Auction Event was the strongest early year performances we’ve seen, with around 70% of campaign properties selling on or before their scheduled auction dates. Buyer competition was intense, inspections were packed and sellers were rewarded for launching at the peak of summer demand.
