Quarterly snapshot of Australian residential housing stock - value of all dwellings, count of dwellings, and mean price - by state/territory. ABS Cat 6416.0 Residential Property Price Indexes, Australia (Table 4). Use this for: - **Housing affordability ratios** - divide mean dwelling price by median household income to get a price-to-income ratio per state. - **Wealth distribution** - total household dwelling stock is the single largest household asset class in the National Accounts. - **Property market sizing** - count of dwellings × mean price gives each state's residential property market capitalisation. Customer query examples: - "What's the total value of all Australian housing?" → `latest('RES_DWELL_ST')` returns total stock value at last quarter - "Mean house price in Sydney" → `latest('RES_DWELL_ST', {region: 'nsw', measure: 'mean_price'})` - "How has total NSW dwelling stock grown over 5 years?" → `get_data(..., filters={region: 'nsw', measure: 'value_all_sectors'}, start_period='2021-Q1')` Data released ~6 weeks after each quarter end.
