North Haven

Property market overview for this South Australian suburb.

Market definition

This market is the suburb as the publisher names and groups it in its own release. The boundary is the publisher’s naming, not a boundary APRIQ drew and not an ABS or postal polygon.

Latest data

suburb · Wider area
Population growth Moderate
Main population driver Net internal migration
Approved pipeline Expanding
Housing delivery Moderate

Market coverage Limited

Population grew +1.1% over the year to 30 June 2025, against +1.5% for Australia over the same period.

Net internal migration was the largest component of that change.

Dwelling approvals were +14.7% against the twelve months before. Approvals are permission to build, not completed dwellings.

Completions in the March quarter 2026 were equivalent to 84% of commencements, for South Australia. These figures compare pipeline flows and do not track individual approved dwellings through construction.

Achieved rents moved +16.1% over the year, against +5.7% for the middle suburb in South Australia.

These signals are shown separately so you can see what is driving the market. Explore them under Demand & supply below.

At $685 a week, North Haven is higher than 94% of the 224 SA suburbs we hold.

Rents there are up 16.1% over the past year, faster than South Australia as a whole (up 3.7%).

Based on 25 new leases. That is a small sample, so read the trend rather than the latest number.

The most common new lease there was a three-bedroom house, at $650 a week across 10 of them.

What changed

In June quarter 2026, the median weekly rent rose 0.7% on the quarter before, from $680 to $685. Across the 72 quarterly changes held here, 59 were larger.

Demand & supply

Six signals show how demand, supply and rents are moving. Open Data & method on any signal for the figures, rule and source behind it.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics does not publish population for suburbs. What is shown is the figure for North Haven, the statistical area containing North Haven — it describes that wider area, not this suburb.

Population growth

Moderate

How fast the population is growing, against the national rate.

Data & method
Population growth, North Haven+1.1%the year to 30 June 2025
Population growth, Australia+1.5%the year to 30 June 2025

Strong when growth is at least half a percentage point above the national rate, weak when at least half a point below, moderate in between. Population is one ABS instrument measured the same way everywhere, so a market compares to Australia.

Main population driver

Net internal migration

Which component moved the population most over the latest year the ABS splits it.

Data & method
Natural increase, North Haven+13the year to 30 June 2025
Net internal migration, North Haven+86the year to 30 June 2025
Net overseas migration, North Haven+74the year to 30 June 2025

The largest of natural increase, net internal migration and net overseas migration by absolute size, so a large outflow is named rather than hidden inside a net total. This states which component was largest. It says nothing about why anyone moved.

Approved pipeline

Expanding

Whether dwelling approvals are running above or below the year before.

Data & method
Dwellings approved, North Haven117June quarter 2026
The twelve months before, North Haven102a year earlier
Change on the year before, North Haven+14.7%June quarter 2026

Expanding above +10%, contracting below −10%, stable in between, comparing twelve months of approvals against the twelve before them. An approval is permission to build, not a dwelling. Where a market is smaller than the areas the Australian Bureau of Statistics counts approvals for, this is a blend of those areas' own changes, weighted by how much of each the market covers — not a count of approvals here.

Housing delivery

Moderate

How much housing is being finished, against how much is being started.

Data & method
Dwellings completed, South Australia3,102March quarter 2026
Dwellings started, South Australia3,686March quarter 2026
Completions as a share of commencements84%March quarter 2026

Strong at or above 95% of commencements, weak below 80%, moderate in between — completions in the quarter compared with commencements in the same quarter, both stated beside this rule. These figures compare pipeline flows and do not track individual approved dwellings through construction.

Rental pressure

High

How fast achieved rents are rising, against the rest of the state.

Data & method
Rent change over a year, North Haven+16.1%June quarter 2026
Rent change over a year, the middle suburb in South Australia+5.7%June quarter 2026

High when rents rose at least one percentage point faster than the state, low when at least a point slower, moderate in between. Compared against the state rather than the nation because each bond authority defines its own series: changes compare, levels do not.

Market coverage

Limited

How much of this market's picture was measured at this market's own geography.

Data & method
Demand evidencemeasured for a larger area containing this markethow it was made
Components present5 of 5on this page

Broad where the demand evidence was published for this geography and most components are present; partial where it was derived through an official ABS correspondence; limited where it describes a larger area containing this market, or where components are missing. This says nothing about how many observations sit behind any single figure — that is Sample strength, a separate reading.

Prices & Sales

Observed sales: settlements recorded by the state, not asking prices and not a valuation model. The median describes the sales that settled in the quarter — an observed sample, which is why every figure here carries its count where the publisher released one.

Median sale price$1,081,000publisher’s figure · June quarter 2026, houses
Sale-price change — 1 yearUp 15.2%June quarter 2026 against a year earlier
Sales observed23settlements recorded in June quarter 2026
Sale-price change — 1 quarterUp 8.4%against the quarter before

In June quarter 2026, the median sale price rose 8.4% on the quarter before, to $1,081,000.

Over the year to June quarter 2026, it moved up 15.2%.

That median rests on 23 recorded settlements — a small observed sample, in which one unusual sale moves the figure.

These are house sales: South Australia’s openly licensed series reports metropolitan houses, so units and flats are not in this figure.

The publisher releases the median alone for this series — no quartiles — so the spread of sale prices within the market is not shown.

Sales demand not measured. The settlement counts above say how many sales the publisher recorded, not how many buyers were competing for them, and APRIQ has no validated method that could turn one into the other — so no sales-demand reading is offered rather than an invented one. The demand evidence APRIQ does hold is population-based, under Demand.

50 quarters of sale prices

Median observed sale price of houses, each quarter the publisher reported one. A missing quarter is a gap — usually too few settlements to publish — never a zero.

Sale prices are the South Australian metropolitan median house sales series (Department for Housing and Urban Development), used under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. © Government of South Australia (Department for Housing and Urban Development). Sales are published on a slower clock than rents, so the newest sale quarter usually sits behind the newest rent quarter — the two are never blended, and the yield under Rents & Yield names both periods.

The difference between this market’s one-year rent change and the middle change across every suburb the same publisher reports, in percentage points: 3 or more above is well above, 1 above is above, within 1 either way is in line. Changes are compared within one state because each bond authority defines its own series — movement may be compared between them, the rent itself may not.

Demand

Population data on suburb pages uses the ABS statistical area containing the suburb. The market card names that wider area; open Data & method for the geography and source.

Population pressure

Growing about as fast as Australia

How fast the population is changing in North Haven, the wider area this market sits inside, against how fast Australia is changing.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics does not publish population for suburbs. What is shown is the rate for North Haven, the statistical area containing North Haven — it describes that wider area, not this suburb.

Data & method
Annual population growth, North Haven+1.1%the year to 30 June 2025
Australia, the same year+1.5%the year to 30 June 2025
Difference−0.4 percentage pointsthe year to 30 June 2025
Growth a year over five years+1.1%the five years to 30 June 2025

The difference between this market’s annual population growth and Australia’s, in percentage points: 1.5 or more above is well above the national rate, 0.5 above is above it, within 0.5 either way is in line with it, and a fall is named as a fall. Both figures are ABS estimated resident population at 30 June, the same instrument measured the same way, so they may be compared directly.

Households — 2021 Census

Counted for North Haven on Census night, 10 August 2021. A Census count is a stock on one night, not a series: it cannot show a trend, and five years on it describes 2021, not today. It is here because how many households there are and how many people share a dwelling are the denominators every demand question eventually needs.

Approved housing pipeline

Approving about the national rate

How many dwellings North Haven — the wider area this market sits inside — approved over twelve months for every thousand residents, against the national rate. Approvals are permission to build, not completed dwellings.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics does not publish dwelling approvals for suburbs. What is shown is the rate for North Haven, the statistical area containing North Haven — it describes that wider area, not this suburb.

Data & method
Approved dwellings per 1,000 residents, North Haven7.5the twelve months to June 2026
Australia, the same twelve months7.4the twelve months to June 2026
Change on the twelve months before+14.7%the twelve months to June 2026 against the twelve months to June 2025
People added per dwelling approved1.7the year to 30 June 2025

This market’s approved dwellings per thousand residents divided by Australia’s: twice the national rate or more is well above it, a quarter above is above it, within a fifth either way is in line, and below four fifths is below. Both are ABS building approvals over the same twelve months. An approval is permission to build — some of it lapses, and the rest completes months or years later — so this describes a pipeline and never housing that exists.

Dwelling stock — 2021 Census

Counted for North Haven on Census night, 10 August 2021. The stock every approval above eventually adds to, as it stood on one night in 2021. The occupied count is the households figure under Demand — the ABS definition makes them one count, so it is printed once rather than twice. The occupied and unoccupied counts are separately rounded by the ABS and do not exactly sum to the total, so no missing figure is derived here.

Outlook

Forecasting

No APRIQ forward rent forecast is published for North Haven yet. The forecasting model remains in historical backtesting.

The method’s public record so far, across every market at once and clearly a backtest, not a prediction: at 1 quarter ahead, 83.8% of 10,476 graded backtests landed inside their ranges, at a median width of ±7.9%.

See the full historical record on the forecast scorecard. Backtest results describe historical model performance, not a prediction for this market.

Strong needs 200 or more new leases behind the current figure; moderate needs 50. Fewer than that reads as thin: one unusual property can move the figure. A withheld count cannot earn better than thin, because a suppressed number is unknown rather than small. How current the figure is, is a separate fact stated as dates beside this reading, never folded into this word.

Coverage notes
  • What will happen next. No forward forecast is published for any market until the method has earned it on the public scorecard — every figure above is a measurement of what has already occurred.
  • Whether housing here is under- or over-supplied. That conclusion needs household formation, which no publisher releases at this level; APRIQ holds the components and refuses the leap.
  • The spread of rents inside this market. Only New South Wales publishes the quartiles either side of its medians.
  • This suburb’s own population and approvals. The ABS publishes both by council area; the Housing Balance above shows what can honestly be attached here, labelled.
