Adelaide (SA 5000): property prices & suburb profile

Adelaide property prices

The typical Adelaide house sold for around $1,374,000 in the year to 2026-Q2, +86.7% over 10 years and +36.2% over 5 years.

• Medians are published by Land Services SA per suburb; we do not have individual sale records for this state, so there is no street-level breakdown on this page (our New South Wales pages have one).
• The headline figure is a sales-weighted average of the last four quarterly medians, not a median of individual sales, because one quiet quarter in a single suburb can move a quarterly median by more than the market did. The chart below plots each quarter as published.
• Change over time reflects what sold in each period, not the value of any one home: a run of large or small homes moves it.
• Periods with fewer than 5 recorded sales are excluded.

Adelaide medians by quarter

Who lives in Adelaide

Adelaide has a median age of 31 and a median household income of $1,365 a week.

• Figures labelled Adelaide are for the suburb boundary itself (ABS 2021 Census). Anything labelled SA2 or postcode covers a wider area: SA2 "Adelaide" and postcode 5000 both extend beyond Adelaide.
• SEIFA decile 1 is the lowest tenth of Australian areas on that index and 10 the highest. The four indices measure different things and often disagree, which is why all four are shown: a suburb can rank high on education and occupation while ranking mid on economic resources.

Schools in Adelaide

The 10 mainstream schools in Adelaide sit at the 81st percentile nationally on ACARA's socio-educational index.

• ICSEA is ACARA's socio-educational index (average 1000). It describes the family backgrounds of the students enrolled, NOT how well a school teaches: a lower ICSEA means a less advantaged intake, not a worse school.
• Percentiles are ACARA's own national ranking, so the Australia bar is a published figure rather than our arithmetic. Each area shows the median of the mainstream schools sitting inside it; special schools are listed in the table but excluded from the medians.
• Public school intake zones are not published in our dataset for this state, so confirm catchments with the school.
