Median prices 1984 to now
Median prices were first used in 1984 to more accurately monitor house prices.
The whole of the greater metropolitan market place, that is from Willunga to Gawler, is the basis for these figures. Average prices were used prior.
The median house price has shown an increase every year except for the two consecutive years of 95 (-1.7%) and 96 (-1.3%) and last year (-2.2%) when we experienced the only drops in house prices in the 36 years we have kept records.
