Australian Secure Capital Fund - Property Update

Australian Secure Capital Fund

September 2026


The Australian property value decline continued in August with a -0.9% monthly fall. This is the fifth consecutive monthly decline, with values now falling 3.6% below the market peak recorded in March.

Sydney (-1.4%) and Melbourne (-1.1%) are still setting the pace in this regard, posting their seventh consecutive monthly declines.

However, the mid-sized capitals have all joined the slide now too, with Brisbane (-1.0%), Adelaide (-0.8%), Perth (-0.8%), Canberra (-1.1%), and Hobart (-0.2%) all posting monthly declines. Darwin (+0.6%) was the lone outlier that posted a monthly increase in values in August.

Largely, this is a reflection of declining buyer demand, with Cotality's quarterly home sales estimate tracking 15.5% lower than at the same time last year. Similarly, capital city listings were 24% higher than a year ago in the four weeks to August 30.
