In Australia, the CoreLogic 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 CoreLogic 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.
