Explanatory Notes
1. Sales statistics are derived from information provided on the ‘Notice of Sale or Transfer of Land’ form that is
lodged with Land and Property Information NSW.
2. The geographic areas used for reporting data are based on the Australian Statistical Geographical Standard of the
Australian Bureau of Statistics. Further, the combined area of Greater Sydney with selected Hunter and Illawarra
Local Government Areas is defined as the Greater Metropolitan Region (GMR).
3. For confidentiality, we do not report sale prices in any geographical area where the number of sales is 10 or less.
Statistics calculated from sample sizes between 10 and 30 are shown by an ‘s’ in the relevant table. We suggest
these data are treated with caution, particularly when assessing quarterly and annual changes.
4. The median is the value that divides a set of ordered numbers equally into a bottom half and top half. Unlike
means (averages), medians are not significantly affected by unusually high or low values. Therefore median values
are better measures of central tendency. In addition, some tables provide first and third quartiles. These are the
25th and 75th percentiles in the set of ordered numbers.
5. Individual sales are allocated into time periods according to their contract date. Generally the vendor and
purchaser agree on the sale price on or before the contract date. In many instances there is a considerable time
lapse between the contract and transfer dates. Therefore in assigning a time period to each property sale, the
contract date is considered to be more relevant for market price analyses than the transfer date.
6. The sales data are reported three months after the end of the reference quarter when about 80% on average of
the contracted sales have been notified. Waiting a further three months i.e. six months after the end of the reference
quarter increases the notifications to about 90%. However, statistical testing on sale price means and medians after
three months and six months of notifications does not show any significant difference for most of the LGAs.
7. The quarterly and annual changes are based on revised figures for the previous quarters. Due to the time lapse
between the contract date and when the sale is notified, the previous quarters’ figures will usually change each
quarter as more sales are reported.
8. A variety of factors create anomalies in the sale price attributed to particular properties. To ensure that the
statistics reflect the market price of a typical residential dwelling the lower and upper 5% of sale prices for each LGA
have been excluded. At LGA level, this does not affect the median but does remove outliers in the calculation of the
mean and moves the first and third quartiles slightly towards the median. The impact at higher levels of aggregation
is less predictable but is likely to provide a more reliable indication of sale prices.
9. Strata title properties usually include town houses, terraces/villas, flats/units (multi-unit dwellings) whereas non-
strata title properties refer to separate houses. However any multi-unit dwelling with a Torrens title would be counted
as a non-strata property.
