Slumping house prices and a jittery sharemarket have led to the biggest decline in household wealth in seven years

in the final three months of last year, the largest drop since the third quarter of 2011, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said on Thursday. Household wealth per capita dropped by $10,198 to $404,320, falling for a second consecutive quarter.The decline was driven by land and property values, which slid for a fourth straight quarter, and financial assets as super funds were hit by falling share prices in the December quarter.

The economy slowed sharply in the second half of last year on weaker consumption, which accounts for almost 60 per cent of GDP.
