2025 Q2: Quiet, Steady, Meaningful Progress

As we settle deeper into 2025, the industry’s quiet steadiness continues, but don’t mistake stability for standing still. The small yet notable growth in sales volume and a meaningful uptick in conversion rates hint at a market that’s building momentum carefully and deliberately.

What might these subtle gains tell us about buyer behavior, seller confidence, and how auctions are adapting in an ever-evolving market? As always, the answers lie in looking beyond the obvious.
