Perth’s house prices are no longer growing at the fastest rate in the nation, CoreLogic’s latest home value index shows. 

In January, median values in the Western Australian capital were up 0.4 per cent to $809,870. 

This marked a reduction from Perth’s December median of $813,016, which CoreLogic says represents a revision of its data.
