National capital city median house prices dropped by 1.0% in the September quarter, reaching $1,212,850, marking the fifth consecutive decline. Unit prices also fell by 0.8% over the quarter but showed a slight annual increase.

This broader trend of falling prices across capital cities, including Melbourne, suggests a buyer's market in the western growth corridor, with units potentially offering a more resilient investment compared to houses.
