The average price of Australian residential property has risen over the past ten years, and in December 2024, it reached 976,800 Australian dollars. Nonetheless, property experts in Australia have indicated that the country has been in a property bubble over the past decade, with some believing the market will collapse sometime in the near future. Property prices started declining in 2022; however, a gradual upward trend was witnessed throughout 2023, with minor fluctuations in 2024. Australian capital city price differences While the national average residential property price has exhibited growth, individual capital cities display diverse trends, highlighting the complexity of Australia’s property market. Sydney maintains its position as the most expensive residential property market across Australia's capital cities, with a median property value of approximately 1.19 million Australian dollars as of April 2025. Brisbane has emerged as an increasingly pricey capital city for residential property, surpassing both Canberra and Melbourne in median housing values. Notably, Perth experienced the most significant annual increase in its average residential property value, with a 10 percent increase from April 2024, despite being a comparably more affordable market. Hobart and Darwin remain the most affordable capital cities for residential properties in the country. Is the homeownership dream out of reach? The rise in property values coincides with the expansion of Australia's housing stock. In the December quarter of 2024, the number of residential dwellings reached around 11.29 million, representing an increase of about 53,200 dwellings from the previous quarter. However, this growth in housing supply does not necessarily translate to increased affordability or accessibility for many Australians. The country’s house prices remain largely disproportional to income, leaving the majority of low- and middle-income earners priced out of the market. Alongside this, elevated mortgage interest rates in recent years have made taking out a loan increasingly unappealing for many potential property owners, and the share of mortgage holders at risk of mortgage repayment stress has continued to climb.

The dataset "aus_real_estate.csv" encapsulates comprehensive real estate information pertaining to Australia, showcasing diverse attributes essential for property assessment and market analysis. This dataset, comprising 5000 entries across 10 distinct columns, offers a detailed portrayal of various residential properties in cities across Australia.

The dataset encompasses crucial factors influencing property valuation and purchase decisions. The 'Price' column represents the property's cost, spanning a range between $100,000 and $2,000,000. Attributes such as 'Bedrooms' and 'Bathrooms' highlight the accommodation specifics, varying from one to five bedrooms and one to three bathrooms, respectively. 'SqFt' denotes the square footage of the properties, varying between 800 and 4000 square feet, elucidating their size and spatial dimensions.

The 'City' column encompasses major Australian urban centers, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide, delineating the geographical distribution of the properties. 'State' further categorizes the locations into New South Wales (NSW), Victoria (VIC), Queensland (QLD), Western Australia (WA), and South Australia (SA).

The dataset encapsulates temporal information through the 'Year_Built' attribute, spanning from 1950 to 2023, providing insights into the age and vintage of the properties. Moreover, property types are delineated within the 'Type' column, encompassing variations such as 'Apartment,' 'House,' and 'Townhouse.' The binary 'Garage' column signifies the presence (1) or absence (0) of a garage, while 'Lot_Area' provides an understanding of the land area, ranging from 1000 to 10,000 square feet.

This dataset offers a comprehensive outlook into the Australian real estate landscape, facilitating multifaceted analyses encompassing property valuation, market trends, and regional preferences. Its diverse attributes make it a valuable resource for researchers, analysts, and stakeholders within the real estate domain, enabling robust investigations and informed decision-making processes regarding property investments and market dynamics in Australia.

Sydney had the highest median house value compared to other capital cities in Australia as of April 2025, with a value of over **** million Australian dollars. Brisbane similarly had relatively high average residential housing values, passing Canberra and Melbourne to top the pricing markets for real estate across the country alongside Sydney. Housing affordability in Australia Throughout 2024, the average price of residential dwellings remained high across Australia, with several capital cities breaking price records. Rising house prices continue to be an issue for potential homeowners, with many low- and middle-income earners priced out of the market. In the fourth quarter of 2024, Australia’s house price-to-income ratio declined slightly to ***** index points. With the share of household income spent on mortgage repayments increasing alongside the disparity in supply and demand, inflating construction costs, and low borrowing capacity, the homeownership dream has become an unattainable prospect for the average person in Australia. Does the rental market offer better prospects? Renting for prolonged periods has become inevitable for many Australians due to the country’s largely inaccessible property ladder. However, record low vacancy rates and elevated median weekly house and unit rent prices within Australia’s rental market are making renting a less appealing prospect. In financial year 2024, households in the Greater Sydney metropolitan area reported spending around ** percent of their household income on rent.

The Government Property Index (GPI) allows the general public to view and search basic information on NSW Government-owned land and view it on a map through the NSW Planning Portal – Spatial Viewer.

The final dataset was derived through the implementation of the following inputs -

• GPR

• Crown Lands (DCDB)

• National Parks

• Land Parcels (DCDB)

• Spatial Services

• PlanningDB

• Property (GURAS)

Furthermore, there are five data fields which are in-scope for the GPI -

1. Lot / Section / Plan

2. Address

3. Area

4. Zone

5. Local Government Area (LGA)

Two special cases are Crown Land data and National Parks data, which were obtained by ‘intersecting’ the land parcels (Lot/Section/Plan) against the Crown Land Polygon and the National Parks (Estate) Polygon respectively.

Through the combined processing of these inputs into the GPI database, the final spatial data was added onto the NSW Planning Portal – Spatial Viewer for consumption by the public.

The rent price index in Australia in the first quarter of 2025 was *****, marking an increase from the same quarter of the previous year. Rent prices had decreased in 2020; in Melbourne and Sydney, this was mainly attributed to the absence of international students during the coronavirus outbreak. The current state of the rental market in Australia The rental market in Australia has been marked by varying conditions across different regions. Among the capital cities, Sydney has long been recognized for having some of the highest average rents. As of March 2025, the average weekly rent for a house in Sydney was *** Australian dollars, which was the highest average rent across all major cities in Australia that year. Furthermore, due to factors like population growth and housing demand, regional areas have also seen noticeable increases in rental prices. For instance, households in the non-metropolitan area of New South Wales’ expenditure on rent was around ** percent of their household income in the year ending June 2024. Housing affordability in Australia Housing affordability remains a significant challenge in Australia, contributing to a trend where many individuals and families rent for prolonged periods. The underlying cause of this issue is the ongoing disparity between household wages and housing costs, especially in large cities. While renting offers several advantages, it is worth noting that the associated costs may not always align with the expectation of affordability. Approximately one-third of participants in a recent survey stated that they pay between ** and ** percent of their monthly income on rent. Recent government initiatives, such as the 2024 Help to Buy scheme, aim to make it easier for people across Australia to get onto the property ladder. Still, the multifaceted nature of Australia’s housing affordability problem requires continued efforts to strike a balance between market dynamics and the need for accessible housing options for Australians.
