September 2021: $1m median in Sydney for units

Sydney's median dwelling value crossed $1.3m. Unit medians crossed $830k. Affordability metrics broke records that had stood since the early 2000s.

The number to remember

Combined-capitals dwelling values were up 20.3% year-on-year by September 2021. New South Wales house values had risen $1,200 per day on average for the previous 12 months.

Where the value moved next

Affordability ratios that stretched broke geographically. By Q4 2021 the strongest growth rotated to Brisbane and Adelaide as Sydney/Melbourne buyers cashed out and redeployed into 4-bed houses at half the price.
