We take the middle price in every Australian suburb and update it every week. Most price sources update monthly, so you can follow a suburb heating up through the month instead of waiting for the month-end figure. Weekly, you see the move forming.
By Luke Metcalfe · Founder, Microburbs ResearchEvery Australian suburb, every week, not a postcode shared by several suburbs. The figures most people quote are monthly and land after the month closes. We give you your suburb, updated every week.
The price figures most people rely on come out monthly, and only after the month has closed. So if a suburb starts heating in the first week of February, the monthly number cannot show it until February has ended. Watching weekly, you can follow the move while the month is still underway.
Here is how it reads, on a worked example from March 2026. Halls Head, in Mandurah, WA climbed in nine of the twelve weeks to late March 2026. A monthly source gives you one number for the whole month, published after it ends, so the weekly line was already up while the monthly figure still showed the start of the month. The arrows mark the weeks past mid-month where the price was still rising, the tip-off the market kept moving before the month-end figure was out.
The edge: by late March the weekly price was $1,100,000. The last full month's figure a monthly source could show was $1,010,000, about 9% behind, and March's number would not be available until April. Weekly, you could see that move forming through March.
Halls Head was not alone. Over the ten weeks to late March 2026 these suburbs all climbed steadily on the weekly measure. These are worked examples from March 2026, not this week. Markets move on, so for this week's hotspots check your own suburb, where the report is updated every week.
| Suburb | Area | Weekly middle price, over the 10 weeks to late March 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Halls Head | Mandurah, WA | $967,000 → $1,100,000 |
| Mango Hill | Brisbane, Qld | $934,000 → $1,080,000 |

Microburbs tracks the asking prices across every suburb in Australia and takes the middle price each week, going back years. We update that weekly, where most sources update monthly. This page shows one suburb heating up. Your suburb report shows yours.
The example above is one suburb, from March 2026. Your suburb has its own weekly trend, and it is the one that tells you whether it is heating up now.
