CoreLogic’s Pain and Gain Report is a quarterly analysis of residential properties which were resold over the quarter. It compares the most recent sale price to the previous sale price in order to determine whether the property sold at a gross profit or gross loss.
Across Australia, 89.8% of dwellings resold transacted for more than their previous purchase price over the June 2017 quarter. Houses were more likely to resell for a profit (92.1%) than units (87.5%).
The capital city housing markets continue to generally record a lower proportion of loss-making resales than regional areas of the country.
