No Greater Adelaide suburb of 1,000 or more residents has a published median house price under $500,000. The lowest is Elizabeth South at $650,000. Prices are the SA Government's quarterly suburb medians. A median is the middle sale, so some houses in these suburbs sold for less than it.
Of the ten cheapest Greater Adelaide suburbs, all ten have a measured 12-month change and ten of those rose.
