Sydney's house price growth slows to a crawl

House price growth in Sydney has decreased to such an extent that it has been eclipsed by Hobart over the past three months.

Sydney still has Australia’s highest median house price, at $940,000, according to new statistics from CoreLogic RP Data.

However, house prices grew only 0.3 per cent over the three months to 31 October. By way of comparison, the city's house prices grew 3.3 per cent during the previous quarter.

Hobart recorded the strongest house price growth during the October quarter, with the city’s median house price increasing 1.8 per cent to $341,000.
