Long Term Growth.

A decade of prices, two ways. Below Peak shows how far each market has slipped from its own record high — and how long ago that high was set. Growth Gap shows how far prices have run above, or below, the trend they were on before COVID. Pick a lens, then houses or units.

The angle

How to read it: in Below Peak, each market is measured against its own highest monthly median over the past decade — the figure is how far today sits below that peak, and the sub-line says how many months ago the peak was set; markets at a fresh high read 0%. In Growth Gap, a market’s pre-COVID price trend (its compound growth up to early 2020) is projected forward to today; the figure is how far actual prices sit above (+) or below (−) that projected line. The board ranks the markets sitting furthest below their pre-COVID trend first; the biggest overshoots fall to the foot of each list. Pick houses or units. The slider sets how far below trend a market must be to glow. Markets are SA3 areas. Greater Capital City areas, ABS GCCSA. Source: Suburbtrends 10-year index, to May 2026.
