The home was irresistable with character features such as a magnificent fireplace adjoining the kitchen and elegant french doors leading out to an entertainment area including pavilion and pool.

Complete with butler's pantry in the kitchen and walk-in dressing room in the master bedroom, it is no surprise this property was snapped up.

The CoreLogic Daily Home Value Index aims to measure daily movements in the value of Australian housing markets.
Rather than relying just on transacted sale prices to provide a measure of housing market conditions, the index is based on a 'hedonic' methodology which includes the attributes of properties that are transacting as part of the analysis.
Understanding factors such as the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the land area and the geographic context of the property allows for a much more accurate analysis of the true value of movements across specific housing markets. This method also allows for compositional change in consumer buying patterns when measuring capital gains.
