Modbury Heights House Prices

The numbers

Why two different medians? The Valuer-General publishes a single quarter; Cotality publishes a rolling twelve months. In a rising market the quarter runs ahead, because the twelve-month average still carries older, cheaper sales. Neither is wrong — they answer different questions. Use the quarter for "what's happening now" and the year for "what's the trend", and never let anyone quote you one without telling you which it is.

For context, metropolitan Adelaide's median house price was $975,000 for the same June quarter 2026. The Valuer-General's own caution applies to any single-quarter suburb figure: with 23 sales, "short-term movements should be viewed with caution."

School zones

Modbury Heights is split across 4 high school zones — The Heights School, Para Hills High School, Golden Grove High School and Valley View Secondary School. Which one applies depends on the address, not the suburb, so it has to be checked before you make an offer.

Most primary schools in this part of Adelaide are unzoned, which means placement comes down to the closest unzoned school by road rather than a drawn boundary. The full school zones guide sets out which local schools are zoned and which aren't.

Where the figures come from

Suburb medians are the Office of the Valuer-General's published quarterly sales data, free and public through data.sa.gov.au, and Cotality's rolling twelve-month figures. Zoning is the Department for Education's live zone service for the 2026 enrolment year.

Nothing here is a computer-generated estimate, and no figure appears without the period it covers. If a number isn't sourced, it isn't on this page.
