'That just changed our lives.' Inside The Block 2024 homes and auction results.

The Block has come to an end for another year, with a smashing success rate for all five teams.

The winners have been announced, and sisters Maddy and Charlotte have taken out the top spot.

The sisters had a phenomenal auction day, with Adrian Portelli delivering a show-stopping bid of $3.5 million on their home — with their profit soaring to $1.55 million.

As their stunned fellow contestants watched on, the excitement was palpable.

"It's a fantastic result," said host Scott Cam. "I'm so pleased for the girls to win it, and they deserve it. All of the houses have sold, and it's a fantastic way to finish the 20th season of the show, with all five couples making some decent coin."

While Season 20 delivered on 'cheating scandal' chaos, wild claims of bullying, and several dramatic exits, it also delivered the main thing it was meant to: five beautiful homes on Phillip Island.

Over the course of 13 weeks, five teams worked from the ground-up to deliver stunning coastal homes in a dilapidated holiday park in the seaside town of Cowes. Well, technically six teams, since Jesse and Paige sensationally quit the series mid-way through.

All that remained was the dreaded auction day. Or, you know, celebrated auction day. All depends on how it pans out, doesn't it?

And this year, it's fair to say it was a success.

The Block 2024 Auction Results.

House 1: Maddy & Charlotte.

Sister duo Maddy and Charlotte joined The Block to replace Jesse and Paige, who quit due to the pressures of the dramatic series.

The girls came in swinging, and against all odds, as they inherited a half-finished home. But they managed to turn it into something wonderful.

Almost instantly, the girls made a profit of $1.55 million on auction day with an enormous bid of $3.5 million from Adrian Portelli.

Of course, no one was prepared to outbid Portelli and he walked away the proud owner of another home.

Adding on $100,000 in prize money from Channel Nine, the girls have taken home $1.65 million. And all I can say is WOW.

As they hoped, NSW team Courtney and Grant were first up on auction day following a lottery system that decided the auction order.

And in a matter of seconds, the couple had made $1,050,000.

"That's just changed our lives," Grant said, in complete shock, as they waited for the auction to be called. 

Then, iconic The Block bidder Adrian Portelli came in with an additional $100,000. Cool and casual. 

In the end, their home sold for $3.3 million — leaving them with a profit of $1.35 million over their $1.95 million reserve.

"So wait, what did we win?" a shocked Courtney said as she hugged her husband.

You love to see it.

House 5: Kristian & Mimi.

Won: $1,030,000.

"The Block kind of broke us, but now we're stronger than ever," Mimi admitted to Scott Cam ahead of their auction.

With the biggest house on the show, it was a difficult build for the couple. But it also gave them a competitive edge. Not to mention, their win in Week 13 meant they would have $50,000 knocked off their reserve price.

As they sat through the tense auction, with fan-fave Danny Wallis and a 'mystery buyer' bidding, Scott joked about how he'd called Mimi 'million dollar Mimi' throughout the show.

Would her nickname bring them luck? Turns out, hell yes it would. And Adrian Portelli snatched up another win courtesy of his bidding agent.

The home sold for $2.93 million, leaving them with a profit of $1.03 million above their $1.9 million reserve. WOW.

House 3: Haydn & Ricky.

Won: $750,000 .

The boys made it clear they did not want to know their reserve price, leaving the audience guessing. Kind of. It ended up being the same as the other teams, with a reserve of $1.95 million.

Their home sold for $2.75 million, to our favourite Adrian Portelli. The boys made $750,000 above their reserve.

House 4: Kylie & Brad.

Won: $650,000.

Like House 2, House 4 quickly passed reserve — though, it didn't quite hit that one million mark. 

Jumping up in increments of one hundred thousand and fifty thousand, the couple nervously waited to see where things would land.

"Are you staying, do you want to stay?" Scotty teased the couple as they waited for the end of their auction.

Their home sold for $2.6 million, leaving them with $650,000 in profit over the $1.95 million reserve.

"It's literally going to change our lives," Kylie said, choking back tears.

"We're going to be able to do everything we want to do," Brad said.

"It was worth it," Kylie said. "Unfortunately I was a different person here, but we made it.

"It's been a lot, we're very grateful."

Here's everything you need to know about The Block Auction 2024.

When was The Block auction day?

The Block auction day was held on Saturday, November 9, on Phillip Island.

The finale aired on Channel Nine on Sunday, November 10, at 7pm.

Did Kylie & Brad return for The Block auction?

After weeks of on-screen drama, Kylie finally made the call to walk out of The Block with just one week left in the competition.

Though Kylie and her husband, Brad, did complete their home, they did not stick around for Week 13 (in which the remaining teams created a communal space in their holiday park).

Come auction day, the pair were back and ready to make some cash.

What are The Block price guides?

For the first time in a whopping eight years, the price guides have been set below $2 million for these four-bedroom holiday homes. All the homes have a uniform price guide of $1.7 million to $1.85 million.

The drop in price should come as no surprise, given the series moved to a small town this year — as opposed to the bustling metropolitan city of Melbourne, where most seasons have taken place.

The median house price in the town is $820,000 — meaning The Block homes made well above average on auction day.

What are The Block 2024 reserve prices?

A reserve price is the minimum price a seller would be willing to accept from a buyer — if the top bids don't meet the reserve price on auction day, a home will usually be 'passed in' and not sell on that day.

On The Block, the reserve price typically incorporates the amount of money Channel Nine has poured into the series and the homes.

Each team was given a budget of $250,000 to renovate and design their homes, with additional prizes and bonuses in store for winning couples throughout the competition. Nine also purchased the holiday park, which is reported to have cost around $9.58 million.

On Sunday night, viewers find out what the 'reserve' is for each team — from there, the teams will have to sell their homes for over-and-above the reserve amount in order to take home any funds.

Not only that, but auction order will play a big part in determining how the day goes for each team.

Why does auction order matter on The Block?

It may seem like everyone is being a bit dramatic about auction order every single time the finale rolls around, but there's an important reason.

"The order of sale on the day of the auction can be very strategic and very important," auctioneer Damien Cooley told Domain. "The biggest factor that it all boils down to is the quality of the buyer pool, and that comes back to how many buyers there are looking at purchasing, and essentially, how much the buyers are willing to spend."

Over the past decade, most winning properties were auctioned off first and second. This goes hand-in-hand with common auction advice viewers have seen on The Block, with most teams being advised to auction the house with the most buyer interest first. If a keen buyer misses out on their dream home, they may very well hit up one of the other auctions later in the day. It gives everyone the best shot at a successful auction day.

In recent years, fans have come to see staple home buyers on auction day — in particular, David Brandi, Danny Wallis and Adrian Portelli (who bought all of the homes in 2024).

Auction Strategist Frank Valentic told realestate.com.au that he expects to see high-profile clients return this season.

"Phillip Island has a strong Airbnb return around $190,000 to $220,000 per year," Valentic said. "So if you pick up one of The Block 2024 homes for $2.5m you're getting about seven per cent return plus the extra $3000 in tax depreciation."
