Estimates of the total value, number and mean price of Australia's dwellings, as well as median prices and counts of residential property transfers
The preliminary estimate of the total value of residential dwellings in Australia in the June quarter 2023 was $10,090.6 billion, up $325.0 billion from $9,765.6 billion in the March quarter 2023.
Of the total value of residential dwellings, $9,694.8 billion was owned by households.
In the June quarter 2023, the total value of residential dwellings rose in all states and territories, most notably NSW and QLD.
The number of residential dwellings in Australia rose by 52,200 to 11,055,800, and the mean price of residential dwellings rose by $25,200 to $912,700, this quarter.
The mean price of residential dwellings in NSW ($1,167,500) remains the highest in the country, followed by the ACT ($947,900) and Victoria ($904,800). The lowest mean price is in the Northern Territory ($512,700).
All estimates for the current quarter are preliminary. 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 estimates for previous quarters are standard practice in these series.
