Dear Australian Taxation Office,

I would like to have annual data about property purchases in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane (seperately) between 01/01/2008-31/08/2017 in term of number of purchases and total value, broken down by types of property (e.g. house, unit, vacant land), further broken down by buyers’ residency status (Australian citizen + permanent residents/temporary residents + non-resident buyers), further broken down by investment status (owner occupied, investment property).

Below for an illustration of my request for Sydney data in 2008. A denotes number of transactions, B denotes Total value (million A$).

Property type Residency Investment status
House: A (B) Permanent: A (B) Owner occupied: A (B)/Investment: A (B)
Foreign buyer: A (B) Owner occupied: A (B)/Investment: A (B)

Unit: A (B) Permanent: A (B) Owner occupied: A (B)/Investment: A (B)
Foreign buyer: A(B) Owner occupied: A (B)/Investment: A (B)

Land: A (B) Permanent: A (B) Owner occupied: A (B)/Investment: A (B)
Foreign buyer A (B) Owner occupied: A (B)/Investment: A (B)

Yours faithfully,
