Residential Property Price Index

rose 6.7% this quarter, following a rise of 5.4% in the March quarter 2021. This is the largest quarterly rise since the commencement of the series, in the September quarter 2003.
rose 16.8% over the last twelve months.

Price rises were observed in all capital cities, with the result this quarter driven by rises in the Sydney (+8.1%) and Melbourne (+6.1%) property markets. In percentage terms, the strongest rise was in Canberra (+8.2%).

In most cities, price rises were observed in all segments of the market but particularly in the upper market segments. Growth in house prices continued to outpace price growth in attached dwellings in all cities except Hobart and Darwin.

Results reflect a strengthening of market conditions seen in recent quarters. Record low interest rates, strong demand fuelled by rising consumer confidence, and low levels of stock on market all continue to put upward pressure on residential property prices.

The most recent COVID-19 related shutdown in Sydney began on 26 June 2021 and therefore did not have a noticeable impact on residential property price statistics in the June quarter 2021. Similarly, restrictions imposed in other cities during the quarter have had no discernible effect on property price growth.

House Price Index

rose 7.7% this quarter, following a rise of 6.4% in the March quarter 2021. This is the largest quarterly rise in house prices since the commencement of the series, in the March quarter 2002.
rose 19.8% over the last twelve months.

Attached Dwellings Price Index

rose 4.3% this quarter, following a rise of 2.7% in the March quarter 2021. This is the largest quarterly rise in attached dwelling prices since the December quarter 2009.
rose 9.3% over the last twelve months.

Notes

Revisions

Revisions apply to estimates for the second and third most recent quarters of the total value of dwelling stock and its components (see Revisions, under Total value of dwelling stock, in the Methodology page), and to median prices and transfers (see Revisions, under Dwelling transfer counts and median prices, in the Methodology page). Revisions to these estimates for previous quarters are standard practice in these series.

Use of price indexes in contracts

Price indexes published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) provide summary measures of the movements in various categories of prices over time. They are published primarily for use in Government economic analysis. Price indexes are also often used in contracts by businesses and government to adjust payments and/or charges to take account of changes in categories of prices (Indexation Clauses).

Use of Price Indexes in Contracts sets out a range of issues that should be taken into account by parties considering including an Indexation Clause in a contract using an ABS published price index.
