House and unit price growth continued in September. Year-on-year, we are now recording the strongest growth since July 2022. Australian house prices increased by 6.1 per cent while units increased by 4.3 per cent over the past 12 months.

Adelaide units, also a very strong year-on-year performer, saw a decline during the month of 0.4 per cent.
