Australia’s Cotality Home Value Index rose 0.8% month-over-month in August 2025, up from July’s 0.6% increase, marking the strongest monthly gain since May 2024. The rise was supported by higher buyer demand due to boosted borrowing capacity, real wage growth, stronger confidence, alongside low levels of advertised stock. Among major cities, Perth and Brisbane led with 1.1% gains, followed by Adelaide (0.9%), Sydney (0.8%), and Melbourne (0.3%). On an annual basis, national home values increased 3.6%. The August results reflect home prices “gradually building momentum” since the Reserve Bank of Australia began cutting interest rates in February. Last month, the central bank implemented its third rate cut of the year and signaled the potential for further easing as inflation continues to cool. source: Cotality, Australia

Australia Cotality Dwelling Prices MoM
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.
