2021 Census rents and 2026 sale prices in Tasmania
This page holds no rents from new bonds: Tasmania's are on its pages by postcode. Here, from the ABS: the median weekly rent paid in 106 of its 115 postal areas on Census night, 10 August 2021; Hobart's rents index, which moved +3.2% from September 2025 to September 2026; and median sale prices for Hobart and the rest of Tasmania in the June 2026 quarter.
Interim More than five years old, and not today's rent: these are what renting households paid on Census night 2021, on leases new and old, whoever the landlord. Not new-bond medians either: Tasmania's medians of new bonds, by postcode, are on pages of their own: calculated by DwellDelta from one month of the Department of Justice's bond records, and never set beside the figures here.

Every figure in this table is of Census night, 10 August 2021: rents paid on leases new and old, whoever the landlord, social and community housing included. Renting privately is the share of renting households whose landlord is a real estate agent or a private person, calculated by DwellDelta from the Census; n/a where too few stated a landlord type for a share.
One postal area is flagged mostly not private rentals (7255): do not quote its median as a market rent. 32 postal areas rest on a small Census sample, or have no median (7012, 7023, 7024, 7027, 7119, 7139, 7162, 7163, 7174, 7175, 7176, 7177, 7178, 7179, 7180, 7182, 7183, 7185, 7186, 7187, 7209, 7211, 7213, 7254, 7257, 7258, 7259, 7261, 7264, 7265, 7267, 7466): treat them with caution.
Hobart's rents index, July 2022 to September 2026
| Period | Change |
|---|---|
| On a year, September 2025 to September 2026 | +3.2% |
| Since the monthly series began, July 2022 to September 2026 | +3.7% |
An index of the change in what tenants pay after Commonwealth Rent Assistance, across new and continuing leases in Hobart: not a dollar rent, and not an advertised rent. The monthly series in this file begins in July 2022, after Census night, so it cannot carry a 2021 rent forward, and this page does not.
Sale prices
| Homes sold | Median price, June 2026 quarter | Transfers recorded by the June quarter 2026 release | Median price, June 2025 quarter |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hobart, established houses | $750,000 | 473 | $715,000 |
| Hobart, attached dwellings | $600,000 | 223 | $556,300 |
| The rest of Tasmania, established houses | $625,000 | 772 | $550,000 |
| The rest of Tasmania, attached dwellings | $500,000 | 174 | $450,000 |
Sale prices, not rents: the medians of the established houses and attached dwellings transferred in each quarter, for Hobart and the rest of Tasmania, each as a whole, with no suburb or postcode. The ABS revises recent quarters in later releases, adding transfers recorded late; these are from its June quarter 2026 release.
Straight about the data
What this page is not
- No median of new bonds on this page: Tasmania's medians of new bonds, by postcode, are on pages of their own: calculated by DwellDelta from one month of the Department of Justice's bond records, and never set beside the figures here.
- Not today's rent: the Census rents are what renting households paid on Census night, 10 August 2021, on leases new and old. The ABS has not yet released 2026 Census rents.
- The rents index measures the change in what tenants pay after Commonwealth Rent Assistance in Hobart, not a rent: nothing here carries a 2021 rent forward to today. It is for Hobart only, not the rest of Tasmania.
- Every landlord is in a Census median, social housing included: where few households rent privately, the median can sit far below a market rent. Postal areas where under half rent privately are flagged in the table; elsewhere the Renting privately column gives the share.
- The sale prices are medians for Hobart and the rest of Tasmania, each as a whole, with no suburb or postcode, and are not rents. Do not divide a price by a rent: the two are years apart, and no rental yield can be read here.
- Not set beside any other state: do not add, average, rank or compare these figures with another state's, or with New Zealand's.
Every limit the file states, and its whole notice: How to read these figures.
