Annual property price growth slows in December quarter Residential property prices rose 5.0 per cent through the year to December quarter 2017, with growth easing from the September (+8.3 per cent) and June (+10.2 per cent) quarters 2017, according to figures released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). "The results are in line with market indicators like falling auction clearance rates, and point to a continued moderation in annual property price growth across a number of Australia's capital cities" Chief Economist for the ABS, Bruce Hockman said. The through the year growth for Sydney (3.8 per cent) has slowed significantly, down from 9.4 per cent in the September quarter 2017. "The property price result of 3.8 per cent in Sydney can be partly explained by tighter regulatory conditions and the resulting slowdown in investor credit growth." Mr Hockman said. In the December quarter, rises in the Residential Property Price Index (RPPI) for Melbourne (+2.6 per cent) and Hobart (+3.9 per cent) were partially offset by falls in Sydney (-0.1 per cent) and Darwin (-1.5 per cent). The total value of Australia's 10 million residential dwellings increased $92.9 billion to $6.9 trillion. The mean price of dwellings in Australia is now $686,700.
