Residential Property Price Index

rose 4.7% this quarter, following a rise of 5.0% in the September quarter 2021.
rose 23.7% over the last twelve months. This is the largest annual rise since the commencement of the series, in the September quarter 2003.

Price rises were observed in all capital cities in the December quarter 2021, with the result mainly driven by the Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane property markets.

Residential property price growth moderated in Sydney, Hobart and Darwin in the December quarter 2021. Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Canberra, on the other hand, all recorded stronger property price growth compared to the September quarter 2021.

Brisbane and Adelaide recorded their strongest quarterly rises in residential property prices since the commencement of the series.

Results were consistent with a range of housing market indicators. New lending commitments for housing (original, excluding refinancing) rose to a record high value in the December quarter 2021. Days on market fell and sales transaction volumes increased. Record low interest rates and strong demand have continued to support growth in property prices.

House Price Index

rose 5.3% this quarter, following a rise of 5.7% in the September quarter 2021.
rose 27.5% over the last twelve months. This is the largest annual rise since the commencement of the series.

Attached Dwellings Price Index

rose 3.2% this quarter, following a rise of 3.1% in the September quarter 2021.

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.
