Understanding property market indicators
Property median sale prices
Median sale prices represent the middle value of all property sales in a given period, providing a measure of typical property values. This data shows property price trends over time, helping investors understand market cycles and value appreciation. The data shown is for New South Wales total/aggregate.
Rental dollars
Rental dollars represent the actual dollar amount of rental income. This metric shows the trend in rental prices over time, independent of property values. Higher rental dollars indicate stronger rental market conditions and better income potential for property investors.
Houses and apartments
Houses (detached dwellings) and apartments (strata/units) often show different price and rental trends. Houses typically have higher price indices and rental amounts, while apartments may offer different yield characteristics and may be more susceptible to price volatility patterns.
