The mean price is the ABS estimate of the total value of the residential dwelling stock divided by the number of dwellings, so it describes all dwellings, not the homes sold in the quarter. ProofPrice returns the published figure for the latest quarter for the state or territory the place lies in (a city or postcode is answered with its state), unchanged, with the previous quarter, the same quarter a year earlier and Australia. The percentage changes are calculated by ProofPrice from the published figures. The ABS marks its newest quarter preliminary and revises it, which is stated in every answer. No range is calculated: only one figure is published and the ABS gives no number of sales.",
