Both Sydney and Melbourne have had comfortable dwelling value increases over the financial year, with Sydney increasing by 16.2% and Melbourne 10.2%.

But Canberra's growth put it in third place, replacing Darwin.

According to the CoreLogic June RP Data Hedonic Home Value Index, every other capital city grew less than 5%, with dwelling values are down over the year in Darwin (-2.9%) and Perth (-0.9 %). 

The median price for a home in Sydney is $900,000, with the Melbourne median at $615,000, based on sales during the past quarter.
