Victoria as a whole, as the publisher reports it.
Victoria publishes no figure for the state as a whole, so there is none here. A median of the areas below would count a small market equally with a large one, which is not what a reader would take a state median to mean.
What can be said: of the 146 suburbs we hold, half rent above $565 a week.
Victoria groups its suburbs into thirteen regions and publishes a median for each, computed over every lease in the region.

Every stage between permission and a home somebody can live in, for Victoria. An approval is the weakest evidence in this chain and a completion is the strongest — only the last line counts dwellings that exist.
| Approved | 54,137 | the twelve months to March 2026 · knowable 6 August 2026 · ABS building approvals, summed over the state |
|---|---|---|
| Approved and not yet started | 3,797 | March quarter 2026 · knowable 8 July 2026 · ABS building activity — a count at this date |
| Started | 55,261 | the twelve months to March 2026 · knowable 8 July 2026 · ABS building activity |
| Under construction | 61,641 | March quarter 2026 · knowable 8 July 2026 · ABS building activity — a count at this date |
| Completed | 54,599 | 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 102% of the rate they were approved over the twelve months to March 2026.
More were finished than started (99%), so the number under construction fell.
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.
Market data sources are named beside the figures above. APRIQ keeps the publication period, source, licence and calculation method available for inspection. See full sources & methodology →
