![Twenty-six years ago, the average dwelling price in Australia was equal to nine years and four months’ worth of per-capita household disposable income. In the first three months of this year, the average dwelling price of $1.11m was equivalent to 17 years and four months of current average household disposable income.
If dwelling prices were 10% lower, they would be equal to 15 years and seven months – or where it was three years ago:
