Courtney and Sev won The Block 2026 after House 4 sold for A$4,720,000 in Mount Eliza, Victoria. All five houses sold at auction. Domain's post-auction reporting confirms the winner's A$1,270,000 surplus above reserve, before additional competition prizes.
The clearest way to read The Block auction results 2026 is to separate three figures: the property's sale price, the amount above its applicable reserve, and any additional competition prizes. They describe different things and should not be added together without checking what each total includes.
This guide covers the Australian 2026 season. All amounts are Australian dollars, not U.S. dollars. Results and source discrepancies were checked on November 1, 2026.
The Block 2026 house sales at a glance
Source: Domain's results table, credited to Domain/Nine. Reserve and surplus figures follow that table consistently; see the discrepancy explained below.
| Place | House and team | Sale price | Reserve in Domain/Nine table | Reported surplus |
|---|
| 1 | House 4: Courtney and Sev | A$4,720,000 | A$3,450,000 | A$1,270,000 |
| 2 | House 5: Rick and Tayla | A$4,355,000 | A$3,450,000 | A$905,000 |
| 3 | House 3: Lisa and Rosco | A$4,000,000 | A$3,450,000 | A$550,000 |
| 4 | House 1: Adam and Jolene | A$3,905,000 | A$3,450,000 | A$455,000 |
| 5 | House 2: Chantel and Wyatt | A$3,817,000 | A$3,450,000 | A$367,000 |
These are reported auction outcomes. A sale reported under the hammer does not, by itself, confirm that the later property settlement has been completed.
Why do some reports give different profit figures?
There is a specific unresolved inconsistency in contemporaneous reporting. Realestate.com.au's original auction report gives the same five sale prices but lists A$505,000 for Adam and Jolene and A$955,000 for Rick and Tayla, including A$50,000 reserve reductions. Domain/Nine instead lists A$455,000 and A$905,000.
Nine's pre-finale announcement confirms that Rick and Tayla won A$50,000 off their reserve. However, it also describes the homes' reserves collectively as A$3.45 million. That wording alone does not resolve how the reduction is reflected in every published final table.
Accordingly, the table above preserves the Domain/Nine figures rather than silently mixing reserve assumptions from different reports. Courtney and Sev's winning result and the five sale prices are consistent across the two auction reports. The conflicting surplus figures should remain attributed until an authoritative correction or final accounting resolves them.
For a practical comparison, keep the sale price fixed and check the final reserve used in the calculation. Subtracting an extra A$50,000 from a reserve that already includes a discount would count the advantage twice.
How much did Courtney and Sev win?
Domain reports three components of their package:
- A$1,270,000 above the winning home's reserve.
- A separate A$100,000 winner's prize.
- A sponsored Plungie prize package valued at A$500,000.
Adding those stated components gives A$1,870,000 in combined winnings and prize value. That is not the home's selling price, and it should not be described as an entirely cash payout: the sponsored package includes goods as well as a cash component. The distinction explains why headlines can refer to different totals without necessarily discussing the same measure.
Which house belonged to each team?
House numbers in the competition are not the street numbers. Nine's official listing directory identifies the properties as follows:
| Competition house | Team | Address in Mount Eliza, Victoria |
|---|
| House 1 | Adam and Jolene | 2 Mackillop Place |
| House 2 | Chantel and Wyatt | 3 Mackillop Place |
| House 3 | Lisa and Rosco | 4 Mackillop Place |
| House 4 | Courtney and Sev | 9 Mackillop Place |
| House 5 | Rick and Tayla | 10 Mackillop Place |
Use the address when opening a property listing or reviewing a floor plan. Searching only for “House 4” can bring up another season, a room reveal, or an older listing rather than the winning 2026 property.
When were the auctions, and when was the finale shown?
The on-site auctions were held on Saturday, October 31, 2026. Domain's interviews with the selling agents identified that auction date separately from the November 1 television broadcast.
Nine advertised the finale for Sunday, November 1, 2026, at 7 p.m. on Channel 9 and 9Now. For a 7 p.m. start in Mount Eliza or Melbourne, the time is 19:00 Australian Eastern Daylight Time, AEDT (UTC+11:00), equivalent to 08:00 UTC on November 1. That conversion describes the broadcast reference time, not the time the auctioneer began bidding on Saturday. An exact on-site auction start time was not confirmed in the sources checked.
The daylight-saving offset is supported by Tourism Australia's time-zone guide. Viewers elsewhere should check their regional Nine or 9Now listing rather than assume the same simultaneous broadcast across Australia.
How should you interpret the house-sale results?
A reserve is the seller's minimum auction price; the sale price is the amount agreed through the auction. In the show's results reporting, the difference is commonly called “profit.” It is not a complete development profit-and-loss statement showing land, construction, financing, marketing, and other project costs.
The additional winner's prize and sponsored package are competition benefits, not amounts paid by the homebuyer.
Nor should five television-linked sales be treated as a representative measure of every home in Mount Eliza. If you are using the results to compare properties, look at the actual address, land size, floor plan, inclusions, and sale conditions. The result can establish what was reported for that house without proving what a different property would sell for.
What should you check before sharing a result?
- Confirm that the report concerns the 2026 Mount Eliza season.
- Match the team and house number to the correct street address.
- Label the currency as AUD or A$.
- Separate the sale price, reserve-based surplus, and additional prizes.
- Attribute the disputed reserve-adjusted figures instead of presenting them as settled.
- Distinguish the Saturday auction from the Sunday television broadcast.
The central result is clear: Courtney and Sev won, and all five houses sold. For a precise account of what each team received, the reserve basis and the contents of any prize package are just as important as the headline number.
