South Yarra property prices over the past 11 years

Explore how median house and unit prices have changed over time using annual sales data.

Reading price history for South Yarra works best when houses and units are viewed separately. Short-term swings can be misleading, so the broader period and how many properties sold each year are worth weighing together when you interpret the annual medians and the longer trend across the series.

Price history

Compare annual median house and unit prices across the same period. Switch between nominal and inflation-adjusted values to view historical price movement in different terms.

Significant market events

Major Australian economic events are shown as reference points for long-term price movement. They provide broader market context rather than suburb-specific explanations.

Vertical guides on the chart mark wider macro moments—not South Yarra-specific headlines. They are deliberately light: context for reading South Yarra property trends, not a substitute for local advice.

  • 2020 — COVID-19. A period when many markets saw unusual buyer urgency and lifestyle-led moves.
  • 2022 — RBA cash rate rises. Borrowing costs shifted quickly—often cooling the most rate-sensitive segments first.
  • 2024 — Inflation peak easing. Sentiment began balancing again as inflation pressures moderated from their peak.

A longer-term view of how house and unit prices have moved across the decade.

Between 2016 and 2026, house prices increased by 15.14% while unit prices fell by 16.17%, showing stronger long-term growth for house prices. House prices recorded their strongest annual increase in 2020, showing that growth has not been linear, with the latest year-to-date figures broadly steady against the prior year.
