Median unit price, Canberra measures the middle transacted price of units (attached dwellings such as flats, apartments and townhouses) in the Canberra capital city area, expressed in thousands of Australian dollars. It comes from the Australian Bureau of Statistics series on residential dwellings, which reports medians by capital city, and is published quarterly. The series begins in the September quarter of two thousand and three and currently reads $615,000 for June quarter 2026.
Being a median for units, the figure does not describe house prices, and it refers to the Canberra capital city area rather than the whole of the Australian Capital Territory. Published under CC BY 4.0.
