Earlier this month CoreLogic released its revised Perth home value index, which showed that in the 12 months to September 2021 Perth house prices grew 18.1 per cent.

The revised figure follows the recent CoreLogic announcement that there had been a divergence in the reporting of its hedonic index, which caused the Perth home value index – the movement in value of all Perth residential properties, including those not for sale – to be undervalued by 8.4 per cent.

This correction meant Perth’s annual price growth was pushed from 10.8 per cent, as originally reported in July, to 18.1 per cent in September. This is welcome news for Perth owners and sellers who are eager to see property values recover from the recent market downturn.

The CoreLogic findings are supported by the reiwa.com suburb-level data, which shows the market recovery is widespread and occurring across all price points.
