  • 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.

  • Figures labelled Dover Gardens are for the suburb boundary itself (ABS 2021 Census). Anything labelled SA2 or postcode covers a wider area: SA2 "Warradale" and postcode 5048 both extend beyond Dover Gardens.
  • 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.

Dover Gardens: common questions

How much does a house cost in Dover Gardens?
About $1,037,000 across the 12 months to 2026-Q2, from 50 recorded sales. That is a sales-weighted average of the four quarterly medians published by Land Services SA: a single quarter in one suburb can swing on a handful of sales.
Have Dover Gardens prices gone up?
Prices have risen 122.5% over 10 years and moved +96.4% over 5 years, comparing the latest rolling year with the same window a decade earlier. These movements reflect the mix of homes sold, not the change in value of a specific property.
Can I see Dover Gardens prices street by street?
Not yet. SA publishes suburb-level medians rather than individual sale records, so street-level medians are only available on our New South Wales pages.

Data sources

This page summarises public government datasets for general information. It is not financial, legal or property advice, figures can contain source errors, and postcode or SA2 statistics cover a wider area than the suburb itself. Flood and bushfire overlays are not yet loaded for SA pages, so the absence of a risk section is a data gap, not an all-clear: always check the vendor statement and planning certificate. Verify anything material independently before acting on it.
