Housing values posted a broad-based rise in February with CoreLogic’s national Home Value Index up 0.6% in February. This was a 20 basis point acceleration from the 0.4% increase seen in January, and strongest monthly gain since October last year.

Each of the capital cities and rest-of-state regions recorded a lift in values over the month, except Hobart where the market eased -0.3%.

Housing values have been more than resilient in the face of high interest rates and cost of living pressures.  The ongoing rise in values reflects a persistent imbalance between supply and demand which varies in magnitude across our cities and regions.

Perth continues to stand out with a substantially higher rate of growth compared to any other region, up 1.8% over February, with Adelaide, Brisbane and the regional areas of South Australia, Western Australia and Queensland also showing a consistently high rate of capital growth month-to-month.  These regions are generally benefiting from a combination of comparatively lower housing prices and positive demographic factors that continue to support housing demand.
