A few months ago I received positive feedback about the Aussie property info I had included in my newsletter and job alerts (register on my website for these regular updates here).
Therefore, here are the latest median values at March 2026. Anecdotally, I heard from specialists who had moved to Perth that house prices were going up so it was interesting to see that these stats confirmed this. Sydney and Mebourne prices seem to be flatlining.
Please see list of state and territory capital city prices below (in no order).

On the 17th March the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) decided to increase the cash rate (interest rate) target to 4.10%. This is because inflation increased and the RBA likes to keep inflation between 2-3%.
Inflation rate - 3.8%
