Nationwide, there were 929 suburbs with a median value of at least $1 million for houses or units at the end of last year — the vast majority of them in New South Wales (521 for houses and 109 for units).
“As the Sydney and Melbourne housing markets entered an upswing in the middle of 2012, ... this period also resulted in a rapid upswing in the number of $1 million suburbs,” the report said.
“In fact, between 2012 and 2017, the number of $1 million suburbs increased by 243 per cent.”
