Search for Redwood Park's median house price and you'll get four different numbers from four different sites, none of which tell you which period they cover. Here are the real ones, where each comes from, and why they don't agree.
The two numbers that actually matter
There are two credible, independent sources for Redwood Park house prices. They say different things, and both are right.
| Source | Median | Period | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|
| Valuer-General SA | $900,000 | June quarter 2026 | 16 |
| Cotality (CoreLogic) | $850,000 | 12 months to June 2026 | 77 |
Why the $50,000 gap? The Valuer-General publishes a single quarter. Cotality publishes a rolling twelve months. In a market that's been rising, the most recent quarter sits above the twelve-month average almost by definition — the average is still dragging along older, cheaper sales from the back half of last year.
Which should you use? For "what's my house worth right now", the quarterly figure is closer to the money, but it rests on sixteen sales and a couple of unusual properties can move it. For "what's the trend", the twelve-month figure is steadier. Use both, and don't let anyone quote you one without telling you which it is.
Growth: the strongest in the north-east
Against the June quarter 2025, Redwood Park's median was up 19.1% (Valuer-General). Cotality has it at +13.9% over the twelve months to June 2026. Different periods, same direction, and on either measure it's the strongest movement of any suburb I track out here.
Where it sits against the neighbours, all June quarter 2026 from the Valuer-General:
| Suburb | Median | Year on year |
|---|---|---|
| Modbury Heights | $939,000 | +11.1% |
| Golden Grove | $933,500 | +7.9% |
| Hope Valley | $928,750 | +7.9% |
| St Agnes | $905,000 | +11.7% |
| Redwood Park | $900,000 | +19.1% |
| Ridgehaven | $895,000 | +15.5% |
| Modbury | $880,000 | +13.6% |
| Surrey Downs | $850,000 | +12.9% |
Office of the Valuer-General SA, median house sales, June quarter 2026 against June quarter 2025. Metropolitan Adelaide's median was $975,000.
Notice the pattern: the three suburbs with the strongest growth — Redwood Park, Ridgehaven, Modbury — are three of the four cheapest on the list. That's what a tightening credit market does. When borrowing capacity shrinks, demand doesn't disappear, it moves down the price ladder. Redwood Park is where a lot of it landed.
How long it takes to sell, and what it rents for
Cotality has Redwood Park's median time on market at 25 days over the twelve months to June 2026. Worth holding that against the combined-capitals figure of 33 days over roughly the same stretch — this suburb has been selling faster than the national average, not slower.
On rents, the cleanest figure is the state's own: a median of $600 a week for houses in the June 2026 quarter, drawn from actual bonds lodged with Consumer and Business Services. Cotality has it slightly higher at $630 over its twelve-month window, with a gross yield around 3.89%.
One caution if you're comparing against a rent figure you've seen elsewhere: a lot of published numbers are by postcode, and 5097 covers St Agnes and Ridgehaven as well as Redwood Park. Those aren't Redwood Park figures.
Who actually lives here
From the 2021 Census — five years old now, so treat it as structure rather than a current snapshot, but structure doesn't change fast:
- 2,143 private dwellings, of which 1,973 (97.1%) are separate houses
- 36.9% owned outright, 50.1% owned with a mortgage, and only 11.4% rented
- Population 5,367
That 11.4% rental share is under half the South Australian average of 27.6%. It's an owner-occupier suburb, heavily so, and that shows up in how it behaves: fewer investor sales, fewer rushed listings, and neighbours who tend to stay put. When stock is tight here, it's genuinely tight.
What I'd tell you if you were selling
A 19% annual number is a great headline and a terrible pricing strategy. It's a quarterly median off sixteen sales, and your house is not the median.
What I'd actually do: pull the sold evidence for your own street and the streets either side, look at what's currently listed and how long it's been sitting, and price against that. With listings across Adelaide running about 41% above year-ago levels and vendor discounting at a two-year high, an ambitious asking price doesn't get corrected by the market — it just sits there while buyers assume something's wrong with it.
The suburb is doing the work for you. Don't undo it with the asking price.
How I worked this out
The suburb medians come from the Office of the Valuer-General's published quarterly sales data, free and public through data.sa.gov.au under a Creative Commons licence. The twelve-month figures are Cotality's (formerly CoreLogic). Rents are from the SA Housing Trust's Private Rent Report, built from actual bond lodgements. Tenure is the ABS 2021 Census.
What I've deliberately left out: any figure from a site that doesn't state the period it covers, anything described as a "proprietary model" or automated estimate rather than observed sales, and anything published by postcode rather than suburb. Several of the numbers that rank highly for this search are one of those three, which is exactly why they disagree with each other.
Two sources, both named, both dated, kept in separate tables because they measure different periods. That's the whole method.
The bottom line
Redwood Park's median house price is $900,000 for the June quarter 2026, or $850,000 on a rolling twelve-month basis — up 19.1% and 13.9% respectively. It's grown faster than any neighbouring suburb, it sells quicker than the national average, and it's a strongly owner-occupied pocket.
If you want the number for your specific house rather than the suburb, that's a twenty-minute conversation and I'll show you the evidence behind it.
