What happened
National property values in Australia fell 5.2% in September from their March peak, indicating a distinct housing market downturn. The price of a typical home has dropped to approximately what it fetched one year ago. The decline began after the first official interest rate rise in February, with prices falling for six straight months. The Reserve Bank of Australia raised rates last week.
