The latest Real Estate Institute sales figures show the national median house price rose from $211,250 in July to $215,000 in August, a 16.2% increase on August last year. July's national median house price represented a 14.2% rise on July last year while the June price was 13.3% increase.

The number of houses sold in August rose to 10,193 from 10,138 in July and was 26.8% more than the 8,036 sold in August last year.

On top of this strong showing, Deutsche Bank senior economist Darren Gibbs noted the median days to sell a house fell to a record low of 25 days in August.
