target=\"_blank\" data-outlook-id=\"6ee7a9f9-4121-455a-aa8a-8a0ae58a736b\">homeloanrates.com.au<\/a>, using Australian Bureau of Statistics data, found NSW and Victoria &#8220;shed&#8221; $133.6 billion in household property wealth between April and June.<\/p>\n<p>Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory, meanwhile, all posted record average dwelling prices &#8211; the highest since ABS records began in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Nationally, the market fell $34 billion in the quarter, the net of two &#8220;very different&#8221; markets &#8211; NSW, Victoria and the ACT, and the rest.<\/p>\n<p>The discrepancy between the two markets is wide, with NSW, Victoria, ACT down 1.78 per cent while the other five jurisdictions are up 2.11 per cent, adding $99.6 billion between them.<\/p>\n<p>Individually, NSW saw the biggest slide, down $89.2 billion in the quarter, or -2.4 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria was next, down $43.1 billion, or -2.1 per cent, then the ACT, down $1.3 billion or -1.3 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>Leading the states and territories in the green was Western Australia, up an enormous 22.9 per cent over the year to a record $1,123,700 average price.<\/p>\n<p>According to Primara&#8217;s analysis, Western Australia&#8217;s property wealth is now $205,300 above Victoria&#8217;s, as opposed to being $3,700 behind a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory also posted record average prices in the June quarter,&#8221; Primara said in a release on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>At city level, Sydney and Melbourne&#8217;s median house prices dropped 4 and 2.9 per cent respectively.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Primara Research head of research and data Peter Drennan said Australia&#8217;s property market was currently &#8220;two markets moving in opposite directions&#8221;.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;NSW and Victoria are absorbing the bulk of the forecast downturn, while several smaller markets are still setting records in the same quarter,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Across the board, the forecast slump is expected to cost the average Australian household roughly $120,000 in property wealth.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At a state level, however, using ANZ&#8217;s forecast and 2025 ABS household counts, the price shock reaches about $193,000 in NSW and about $127,000 in Victoria, both well above the national figure.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;A national average obscures how uneven this correction is,&#8221; Mr Drennan said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;NSW households are looking at a hit more than 60% larger than the national figure, while several other states haven&#8217;t seen a downturn start at all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Read related topics:<a class=\"topic_tag\"
