Our Data

Overview

CoreLogic has a high performing and timely suite of world-class property indices that have transformed the way Australian's measure and understand changes in the value of residential real estate.

CoreLogic Indices are available on a daily, monthly and quarterly basis for Australian geographic demarcations that conform with the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) as well as non-standard boundaries such as suburbs, postcodes and council areas. These indices draw on the most comprehensive property database in Australia and are computed using advanced global index construction techniques.

CoreLogic Indices are constructed from the latest possible property sales information thereby avoiding the potential 6 to 8 week reporting lags associated with some other published indices.

CommSec's chief economist, Craig James, commented:

"The CoreLogic index has emerged as Australia's authoritative source on home price trends. The property database is Australia's largest and, unlike the Bureau of Statistics, all properties are counted, not just free-standing homes.
