What is the auction order on The Block 2024?
The auction order will be revealed during the finale, and as The Block fans know, it plays a vital role in the outcome.
Depending on buyer engagement and the market, some teams in previous years have benefitted from being positioned early on in the auction, and vice versa.
Who will be bidding on The Block houses in 2024?
Veteran bidders Adrian Portelli and Danny Wallis are both expected to bid at the auction this year.
They’ve already appeared on The Block this season, attending the Domain Listings and Buyers Jury challenge in week nine. At the event, they both confirmed their interest in the houses, particularly Kristian and Mimi’s.
However, as the asking prices are lower than usual, there’s been speculation that more bidders may be present on auction day this year, adding some new competition.
