0.1% fall in Sydney home values was the first monthly decline since January of 2023, following a short but sharp 12.4% drop in values between February 2022 and January of 2023.
Weaker conditions have been led by the most expensive areas of the market, with a 0.6% fall in upper quartile house values over the month, and a 1.1% drop over the past three months.
In comparison, Sydney's lower quartile house and unit values both recorded a 0.5% rise in values in October.
