Perth Market Snapshot
Perth’s property market continues to show remarkable resilience and growth. Despite broader national fluctuations, Western Australia remains one of the strongest performers in 2025. According to recent market data:
- Median house prices have climbed steadily over the past quarter, supported by ongoing population growth and limited housing supply.
- Rental demand remains exceptionally high, with vacancy rates hovering near record lows — great news for investors but a continued challenge for tenants.
- Regional areas like Mandurah, Bunbury, and the South West are also experiencing renewed interest, driven by lifestyle buyers and remote work flexibility.
Summer Selling Season Insights
If you’ve been considering selling, summer can be one of the best times to showcase your property. Longer days, lush gardens, and Perth’s signature blue skies all help your home look its best.
Top summer selling tips:
- Curb appeal matters – tidy up gardens, pressure clean driveways, and add some fresh plants or colourful pots.
- Cool and comfortable inspections – ensure air conditioning is running and blinds are adjusted to keep the home pleasant for open homes.
- Highlight outdoor living spaces – pools, alfresco areas, and decks are key selling points in the Perth summer lifestyle.
💡 Investor Insights
Perth continues to offer some of the best rental yields in Australia. With steady population inflows and a tight construction pipeline, investors are enjoying solid returns.
Some trends to watch:
- Increased interest from interstate buyers looking for value and growth potential.
- Strong performance in affordable suburbs near new infrastructure projects.
- Ongoing demand for low-maintenance homes suited to busy professionals and small families.
What to Expect in Early 2026
Economists forecast that Perth’s housing market will remain stable into the new year, supported by:
- Continued migration-driven demand;
- Infrastructure investment across transport and housing;
- A balanced interest rate environment encouraging steady buyer confidence.
For buyers, opportunities still exist — especially in emerging suburbs and newly released developments. For sellers, limited stock means your property could stand out to motivated purchasers this summer.
