Well, folks, another season of The Block has come to a close, and this year’s auction day delivered some serious wins. If you’re keen to know who walked away with the big bucks and what each team earned, here’s a rundown of how The Block 2024 auction played out.
How much did each house on The Block sell for?
In a twist, all five homes from The Block 2024 were snapped up by the same buyer, Adrian Portelli, for a combined total of $15.03 million. Here’s what each house sold for:
- House 1, Maddy and Charlotte: $3.5 million
- House 2, Grant and Courtney: $3.4 million
- House 3, Ricky and Haydn: $2.7 million
- House 4, Kylie and Brad: $2.6 million
- House 5, Kristian and Mimi: $2.93 million
Let’s get into what each team earned from the auctions.
Grant and Courtney’s Mediterranean marvel
House 2, the stunning Mediterranean property designed by Grant and Courtney, kicked off the auction. With a reserve set at $1.95 million, Adrian outbid Jacob Najjar to secure the house for $3.4 million. This landed Grant and Courtney $1.35 million in prize money.
Kylie and Brad’s dream house
Up next was Kylie and Brad’s House 4, which sold for $2.6 million against its reserve of $1.95 million. The couple pocketed $650,000. Brad reflected on their journey, telling Nine, “I think we’re definitely stronger after it [The Block]. To walk away with something and it be worth it, 100%”â.
Kristian and Mimi’s coastal home
House 5 saw regular The Block buyer Danny Wallis initially interested, but Adrian ultimately secured it for $2.93 million (as a mystery buyer), well above the reserve of $1.90 million. Kristian and Mimi walked away with $1.03 million in earnings.
Ricky and Haydn’s beach escape
House 3, the beach-inspired retreat by Ricky and Haydn, came in with a reserve of $1.95 million. It sold to Adrian for $2.7 million, bringing the team’s total to $750,000.
Maddy and Charlotte’s elegant house
In the final auction, Maddy and Charlotte’s house sparked major bidding action, with an opening bid of $2.5 million. Adrian closed with a final offer of $3.5 million, awarding the sisters $1.5 million in prize money plus an extra $100,000 for their efforts. With their impressive earnings, Maddy and Charlotte claimed victory in The Block 2024.
Reflecting on his decision to big high, Adrian shared, “I just saw the girls having a hard time and just getting bullied, and I don’t stand for that shit.
“They deserve it. I think they just had a hard time throughout the show,” he told reporters, according to Domain.
The Block 2024 winners
With $1.5 million in prize money, Maddy and Charlotte are officially this year’s champions! Maddy expressed her joy, telling media, “It took us a second to be like, ‘No, no. Like, you just won The Block.’ And I think I was a bit of a stunned mullet,” adding, “I was expecting anticipation and to be, like, ‘Oh, what’s gonna happen next?’ It was like, ‘Well, you’ve won.’ It’s like … time to go. It was the quickest auction of the day; it was over so quickly”â.
