Australia Property Market Statistics, Current Quarter Update

October 2, 2026 · 4 min read

This post is updated quarterly using the freshest accessible current-market data rather than waiting for the slower official transfer releases.

The latest current-quarter market data shows a very uneven Australian property market. Darwin led the capitals at 0.5% over the quarter, while Sydney was the softest at -4.9%.

Below is the clean table version with all capitals covered.

This is a current-market view, not the slower ABS transfer series. That makes it more useful for a just-ended-quarter update, but it is a different series and should be treated that way.
