Dwelling prices surge in June

Reports of the death of the housing market recovery in May seem to have been greatly exaggerated.

In truth, as I noted at the time, plenty of commentators and agents 'at the coalface' suggested that prices had not eased in May, it was likely a blip in the data, which has now reversed in June.

RP Data's index for June shows dwelling prices up an exceptionally strong 1.7% for the month to date.

Prices in Sydney seem to have gone bananas, up more than 2.5% in the last 19 days to a new record high of $664,290 - although I suspect the likelihood is that prices have rather been on a reasonable uptrend for a year (rather than the oscillating results implied through charting daily prices).

In the last 12 months prices are up in all major capital cities, although prices in Adelaide have been essentially flat. The strongest capital city markets have been Perth (+7.26%) and Sydney (+5.22%), with Melbourne also recording solid gains (+3.26%).
