The Residential Property Price Index, weighted average of eight capitals, measures changes in the prices of established residential dwellings across the eight Australian capital cities, expressed in index points. It is published quarterly by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, with observations beginning in the September quarter shown as the series start. The index covers capital city dwellings only, so price movements in regional areas fall outside its scope.
The series is discontinued: it ended at December quarter 2021, when it read 183.9 index points, and is kept here for reference. Data are made available under CC BY 4.0.
