House prices rise in more than half of Sydney’s regions in 2019 June quarter: Domain
Sydney house prices have risen in more than half of the city’s regions in the June quarter, new Domain data shows.
But overall Sydney house and unit price did decline by 0.4 percent.
It was the smallest quarterly fall since December 2017, according to Domain’s June House Price Report.
“It’s likely that prices have bottomed out in Sydney recently,” said Domain economist Trent Wiltshire.
“This is the biggest downturn in property prices since the 1980s … it looks to be at least close to an end.”
