How this data is compiled
Suburbtrends compiles transaction, listings and rental records monthly across every SA2, SA3 and SA4 in Australia. Medians and percentiles are calculated on a 12-month rolling basis; vacancy follows the Suburbtrends Vacancy Index methodology (vacant rental listings as a share of total rental stock, rolling 3 months). Development Rates covers completed strata projects of 4–40 dwellings, with each project's site purchase traced through the title record to derive the land component. Thin markets are flagged and 12-month changes suppressed where sample sizes do not support them. Boundaries follow the ABS ASGS Edition 3. This page was last updated with data to May 2026, and is refreshed in the first week of every month.
