South Australia as a whole, as the publisher reports it.
The median new lease in South Australia was $560 a week in June quarter 2026, across 13,950 new leases. That is the publisher's own figure, computed over every bond in the state, not one we assembled from the areas below.
It is up 3.7% on a year earlier.
Median weekly rent of bonds lodged in the quarter, which is new lettings only.
South Australia splits the state into metropolitan Adelaide and the rest, and publishes a median for each alongside thirteen regional aggregates. Every figure is computed over the bonds inside the area, not averaged from the suburbs in it.

Every stage between permission and a home somebody can live in, for South Australia. An approval is the weakest evidence in this chain and a completion is the strongest — only the last line counts dwellings that exist.
| Approved | 14,761 | the twelve months to March 2026 · knowable 6 August 2026 · ABS building approvals, summed over the state |
|---|---|---|
| Approved and not yet started | 3,308 | March quarter 2026 · knowable 8 July 2026 · ABS building activity — a count at this date |
| Started | 14,902 | the twelve months to March 2026 · knowable 8 July 2026 · ABS building activity |
| Under construction | 15,605 | March quarter 2026 · knowable 8 July 2026 · ABS building activity — a count at this date |
| Completed | 14,051 | the twelve months to March 2026 · knowable 8 July 2026 · ABS building activity |
The first three lines are permission and intent. Only the last counts homes that exist.
Dwellings were started at 101% of the rate they were approved over the twelve months to March 2026.
Fewer were finished than started (94% as many), so the number under construction grew.
What is under construction represents about 1.1 years of building at the current rate of completions.
These are counts of activity in a period, not a cohort. The Australian Bureau of Statistics does not publish which approvals became which commencements, so none of these figures says what share of any particular approvals was built.
