Australian Secure Capital Fund - Property Update Australian Secure Capital Fund August 2026 (1-minute read)
July continued the recent trend of declining Australian property values with a -0.7% monthly decrease. This marks the third consecutive monthly decline, and the largest single-month decline in Australian property values since December 2022. Sydney (-1.4%) and Melbourne (-1.2%) still lead the way in this regard, posting their sixth consecutive monthly declines. Even the mid-sized capitals of Perth (-0.3%), Adelaide (-0.2%), and Brisbane (-0.6%), which had previously been resilient in the face of this decline, have now joined the slide. In contrast, Darwin (+0.8%) and Hobart (+0.1%) still managed to post slight monthly gains. Capital city auction clearance rates have rebounded somewhat to post an 11-week high of 55.1% for the week ending August 9th, having fallen to a low of 47.4% for the week ending June 21st. However, this remains well below the decade's average preliminary clearance rate of 68%.
