The Block 2025 auctions were a nailbiting conclusion to the 21st season of the series. One of the fan-favourite teams (and let’s face it, judge favourites too) Britt and Taz from Western Australia walked away the big winners. Their home went for $3.41 million, scoring them a generous profit of $420,000 plus $100,000 prize money. While it was good news for the cops from the Pilbara who are now half a million dollars richer, other teams were left with nothing.
Other decent winnings went to Sonny and Alicia (with a house sale of $3.06 million and $120,000 profit) and Robby and Mat (with a house sale of $3,099,999 and $109,999 profit). Less lucky were Emma and Ben and Han and Can, whose homes were passed in as they failed to receive high enough bids.
Auction order is always seen as crucial. Surprisingly, the teams were quite reasonable in discussions and an order was unanimously agreed on. With Britt and Taz’s home having five registered bidders (the most of all teams) it made sense for them to go first, followed in order of those most likely to sell based on buyer interest.
Things were a little tense when the teams found out the reserves were a whopping $2.99 million (less 50k for Sonny and Alicia who won in week 12). It seemed like an insurmountable feat for all five homes to sell above the $3 million mark given the current Daylesford market.

It was actually a new bidder who bought the house with the highest profit and Britt and Taz had mixed emotions about it as they wanted everyone to walk away as winners. “I thought our auction set the tone for everyone else. We took it upon ourselves to do that, and we were shocked more than anything. We had worked as a team right to the end, so it’s just a bit hard for us to see what has happened today.”
Other big bidders included IT entrepreneur Danny Wallis who bought Robby and Mat’s house, while Frank Valentic, Director of Advantage Property Consulting, bought Sonny and Alicia’s house. One other serial Block bidder who didn’t make an appearance was Adrian Portelli. After scooping up all five of The Block houses in 2024 and vowing never to return, the billionaire entrepreneur kept that promise.
Despite not winning anything on the day, host Scott Cam reassured there’s still hope for the empty-handed contestants: “We filmed with them for three months and got to know all of them so well, but unfortunately Em and Ben and Han and Can weren’t able to do it today. But they still have the opportunity to be rewarded for their hard work as the houses go back on the market.”

Who won The Block 2025?
Here’s how the hammer fell on auction day.
1st place: Britt and Taz (House 3)
The “wellness house” complete with Pilates room, sauna and spas aplenty was tastefully done with creams, timber and lots of texture. The parents-of-two were the first up in the bidding and it went swimmingly. “It’s phenomenal to walk away with a reward like this for all the hard work we have put into it. This is life-changing for us, it’s incredible. It’s our mortgage paid off,” said Britt and Taz.
Auction order: 1st
Reserve: $2.99m
Sale price: $3.410m
Profit/prize money: $420,000 + $100k prize money
2nd place: Sonny and Alicia (House 4)
This married couple from Queensland may not have had any registered bidders to begin with, but they did have the advantage of a $50,000 reduced reserve at $2.94 million. This helped them, along with a strategic starting vendor bid of $3.05 million. It went for $3.06 million, securing them $120,000 in profit. “We can’t be happier,” said Sonny. “We’re better off than when we came here,” added Alicia. “I’m proud of us.”
Auction order: 4th
Reserve: $2.94 million (reduced by $50k from week 12 win)
Sale price: $3.06m
Profit/prize money: $120,000
3rd place: Robby and Mat (House 5)
Second in the auction order, this may have helped the friends from South Australia out. Celebrity auctioneer Tom Panos was calling the shots and VIP bidder Danny Wallis snapped up this pair’s home at $3,099,999
Auction order: 2nd
Reserve: $2.99m
Sale price: $3,099,999
Profit/prize money: $109,999
Passed in: Emma and Ben (House 1)
Things slowed for new parents Em and Ben, whose house was the fourth auctioned. Bidding stalled at just $2.97 million (short of the reserve), then the auction was dramatically paused. In hopes of reinvigorating things, a vendor bid of $3.10 million was placed, but there was no further interest and the house was passed in. After just having their baby Bailey a month before, it was tough to see this couple disappointed. “It’s devastating,” said Ben. Their home will now enter a post-auction negotiation period.
Auction order: 3rd
Reserve: $2.99 million
Sale price: Bid on at $2.97m then vendor bid of $3.10m
Profit/prize money: Passed in
Passed in: Han and Can (House 2)
Last in the auction order was Han and Can’s house. Things began with a vendor bid of $3.1 million but there was no bidding action and sadly the house by the couple from WA was passed in.
Auction order: 5th
Reserve: $2.99 million
Sale price: Vendor bid of $3.10m
