How Is the Hobart Business Sales Market Performing?

Businesses marked as sold in Hobart were down around 33% year-on-year in the September 2026 quarter, while Tasmania overall was down around 38%.

As only a small number of businesses are marked as sold in Hobart each quarter, these movements are best treated as indicative rather than a measure of market direction.

Nationally, the median time between a business being listed and marked as sold on Bsale was 202 days, so stronger buyer demand may take several months to flow through to sales.

Sold figures reflect listings marked as sold on Bsale, not independently verified transactions or final sale prices. Not all businesses are marked as sold when removed from Bsale.
