In Australia, the Cotality Home Value Index aims to measure month to month movements in the value of Australian housing markets. Rather than relying solely on transacted sale prices to provide a measure of housing market conditions, the Cotality Home Value Index is based on a ‘hedonic’ methodology which includes the attributes of properties that are transacting as part of the analysis. The Home Values Index provides monthly capital growth measurements across three broad housing types: detached houses, units and a combined dwellings index that includes both houses and units. The Index results are released on the last working day of each month and are available on a subscription basis.

Australian Home Prices Rise the Least in 7 Months
Australia’s Cotality Home Value Index rose 0.5% month-over-month in December 2025, easing from 1.0% in the prior month and marking the weakest monthly increase since May. The slowdown underscored the cooling momentum in housing, with affordability pressures, elevated borrowing costs, and softer year-end demand weighing on buyer activity. Growth slowed in Brisbane (1.4% vs 1.7% in November) and Perth (1.9% vs 2.4%), while Adelaide remained steady (at 1.9%). In contrast, values slipped in Melbourne (-0.1% vs 0.3%) and Sydney (-0.1% vs 0.5%).

Australian Home Values Continue Rising
Australia’s Cotality Home Value Index rose 1.0% month-on-month in November 2025, slightly below October’s 1.1% gain, which had marked the fastest monthly increase since June 2023. The modest slowdown suggests the impact of recent interest rate cuts may be easing, while affordability pressures continue to steer demand toward lower-priced properties. All major capital cities recorded gains, with Melbourne up 0.3% and Sydney 0.5%, while Brisbane rose 1.7%, Adelaide 1.9%, and Perth led with 2.4%. On an annual basis, national home values climbed 7.2% in November. Tight housing supply is expected to continue supporting prices in the near term, though longer-term trends will depend on broader economic conditions, RBA cash rate policy, macroprudential measures, and initiatives for first-home buyers.
