Two capital cities bounced back and avoided recording a decline in property value over the last week, new data from CoreLogic shows.

The highest fall last week was in Sydney at 0.2 of a percentage point, followed by both Melbourne and Perth at 0.1 of a percentage point.

Adelaide saw a rise of 0.1 of a percentage point, while Brisbane remained steady and recorded no movement.

The combined weekly change was -0.1 of a percentage point and the combined monthly change was -0.5 of a percentage point, according to the CoreLogic Property Market Indicator for the week ending 4 November.

Listings declined slightly week on week, with Hobart rising by 11.5 per cent, followed by Perth and Brisbane at 0.8 of a percentage point and 0.5 of a percentage point, respectively.

Meanwhile, Canberra saw a decline of 8.9 per cent, which was then followed by Adelaide at 1.8 per cent and Melbourne at 0.5 of a percentage point.

Darwin was the standout performer yet again at 23.3 per cent, while Sydney performed the worst yet again at a decline of 11.3 per cent.
