The Block is capping off 20 seasons on TV with five houses going to auction on Phillip Island, Victoria, this Sunday, 10 November, 2024.
When is The Block Finale?
The Block Finale will premiere at 7:00 pm on Sunday, 10 November on Channel Nine and 9Now. The teams will gather together to watch their renovated homes go to auction in a nail-biting episode.
The teams have spent the season being judged by Darren Palmer, Marty Fox and Shaynna Blaze, and it’s been a rollercoaster season with contestants Jesse and Paige quitting sensationally midway through.
But as auction day approaches, it’s time for home-buyers to have the casting vote as the homes go under the hammer.
Host Scott Cam said: “It’s always a nerve-racking moment, watching each team’s hard work go up for sale after so many weeks of dedication and effort.
“This year, we’ve got five stunning, unique homes that each offer something special for potential buyers. I truly hope all the contestants see the results they’ve worked so hard for – they absolutely deserve it.”

Victorian house prices going backwards
Domain national managing editor Alice Stolz said it will be an interesting auction: “The contestants will no doubt be sweating under their high-vis vests with the countdown on to the auctions. Recent house price data shows Melbourne, always a city that marches to the beat of its own drum, has seen house prices not just stalling, but going backwards.
“Higher interest rates are wearing down buyers and investors due to recent Victorian land tax changes, and sellers too are up against it with increased competition. It’s a tough time for the market but Victoria is a contrarian place and ripper houses that are priced correctly are enjoying competitive bidding and strong results.
“The concept of The Block this year resolves the question that many would-be-holiday-house-buyers wrestle with; too much maintenance and too expensive.
“These five houses could not be more low-maintenance if they tried, and with shared facilities that include the most amped-up clubhouse Australia has ever seen, a holiday has never been so appealing. And as for price, show me another island (or town!) where you can get luxury at this scale, as well as full-blown amenities and seamless functionality and maybe even a boat. It’s perfect.”
Since premiering on Channel 9 in 2003, The Block has awarded a grand total of $35,742,807.60 in winnings.
Watch The Block finale, Season 20, auction this Sunday at 7:00 on Channel Nine and 9Now.
