What you get

One row per series per region per period:

{
  "dataset": "dwellings",
  "measure": "Mean price of residential dwellings",
  "region": "New South Wales",
  "period": "2026-Q1",
  "value": 1324800,
  "rawValue": 1324.8,
  "unitMultiplier": "Thousands",
  "unit": "Australian Dollars",
  "frequency": "Quarterly",
  "isStale": false
}

value is the figure in real units. The ABS publishes magnitude separately, so a mean price arrives as 1324.8 with a multiplier of Thousands; both the scaled figure and the raw one are on the row so you can check the arithmetic.

Things worth knowing

Each dataset returns its headline measure by default. Without that filter the dwellings series mixes mean price with total dwelling stock value, which runs into the trillions and is not a comparable number. Set allMeasures if you want everything.

Region matching prefers an exact name. This matters in Australia, where asking for Australia would otherwise also return South Australia and Western Australia.

Mean price is published at state and territory level only, not by city or postcode.

Every row carries isStale, which flags a series whose newest period has fallen well behind its publication schedule. The ABS leaves discontinued datasets online and they keep answering normally, so this is how a retired series announces itself rather than quietly looking current.

A suppressed or unavailable observation comes back as null and never as a zero.

Who it's for

Property investors comparing Australian states, mortgage and proptech dashboards, economists and journalists tracking prices against wages, and anyone needing Australian figures without a subscription terminal. Pairs with UK House Prices, Europe House Prices, Canada Economic Data and US Rent and Home Price Index.
