House 4 wins The Block 2026

 

House 4 has won The Block for 2026.

In an exciting auction night where all teams won big and all houses sold, best friends Courtney and Sev came out victors after a frantic bidding war for their house.

Despite the subdued Melbourne real estate market, all five houses sold for well over the reserve, with the girls pocketing $1,370,000 (including $100,000 as the winner’s premium), as well as a prize pool of $500,000.

Changes to the real estate laws in Victoria meant that the reserves of all the houses were published prior to the auctions, which had led to concerns that it might harm the sales on the day. However, that didn’t prove to be the case.

The reserve prices were all the same for the houses – $3.45 million, with each house exceeding that price, including House 2 (Chantel and Wyatt), who came in fifth.

A last-minute change to auction order had Adam and Jolene kicking off the auction, followed by Courtney and Sev, then Lisa and Rosco, Chantel and Wyatt, and Rick and Tayla.

Property managers from Roxby Downs in SA, Adam and Jolene had lots of early bidders for their house, which turned into a bidding war.

“It’s gone nuts,” said one of the buyer’s agents, Frank Valentic.

Adam and Jolene were tipped to win the competition before the day, largely because they were the winners of the Domain open house challenge, held during the season, which is why they were chosen to start the auction process.

The house finally sold for $3,000,905, with the couple netting a profit of $455,000. 

“I am just so happy for you,” said a smiling Scott Cam.

Best friends from Brisbane, Courtney and Sev were second off The Block, resulting in another crazy bidding war between two dedicated bidders, with a couple eventually buying it as a holiday home.

The girls’ style was popular with the judges, winning the reveals a record six times for their innovative and thoughtful design. An interior designer, Sev brought a professional eye to their interior, while site manager Courtney managed the build. Their kitchen included $250,000 worth of prestige appliances, which also added value and interest on the day.

With direct beach access, a private backyard and pool area, their home was popular with the local market, even though it didn’t capture the ocean views enjoyed by Houses 1, 2 and 3.

Host Scott Cam paid tribute to the girls and their vision, predicting they had moved into the category of being “Block Allstars”, and felt he would be welcoming them onscreen again.

“You are the most competitive two I have met in my life,” he said. “You did a brilliant, brilliant job. You played the game well.”

The winning house sold for $4,720,000, with the girls scoring a profit of $1,270,000 plus $100,000 for winning and “Scotty’s Prize Pool”, which featured a collection of cash, vehicles, luxury items, and home upgrades valued collectively at about $500,000.

“It’s life-changing money,” said a stunned Courtney.

Third auction was for Lisa and Rosco, now with new baby Jude in tow, after Lisa spent most of the renovation heavily pregnant. “We feel we have won the lottery already,” said Lisa, looking down at her 8-day-old son.

The WA couple had high hopes for their house, extolling its leafy outlook with bushland and water views. Their house, House 3, sold for $4,000,000, with a profit to the WA couple of $550,000.

Gold Coast couple Chantel and Wyatt were next.

For the first time in Block history, the couple didn’t win a room the whole season, ignoring the judges’ feedback and pushing ahead with their understated elegant design plans.

Their white-on-white design included a wellness area, lots of marble and the occasional touch of bling in the form of gold tapware and handles. Their house sold for $3,817,000 with the couple netting a profit of $367,000.

Father and daughter duo Rick and Tayla were the last to face the auction, with bidding starting out strong and aggressive bids right from the start. Their auctioneer was the youngest in Block history at only 22 years old, but handled the pressure well, ending a frantic bidding war with a sold price of $4,355,000 and a profit of $905,000 to Rick and Tayla.

Rick, a builder, put his heart and soul into their build, suffering ill health during the season, which included a hospital stay. Being on The Block had been his dream and he was teary at the end, saying he was very grateful for the opportunity. For her part, Tayla was so overwhelmed with all the activity that it took some time for her to realise the scope of their win.

As the results were tabulated, the winners announced and the champagne started flowing, all teams were ecstatic and positive about their experience on the show.

“I love The Block,” said a jubilant Scott Cam. “It just keeps on giving.”
