Perth Property Market Update – What You Need to Know in 2025

Perth’s Property Market at a Glance

Perth continues to be one of Australia’s strongest-performing property markets in 2025. With steady population growth, rising demand for rentals, and limited housing supply, both buyers and renters are competing for properties across the metro area.

Key highlights so far this year include:

  • House prices: Continued growth in many suburbs, particularly affordable family areas.
  • Rental demand: Vacancy rates remain among the lowest in the country.
  • Buyer activity: First-home buyers and interstate investors are keeping demand high.
 

Factors Driving the Market in 2025

Population Growth

WA’s population is increasing, driven by strong migration and job opportunities. More people are moving to Perth for lifestyle and affordability compared to other capital cities.

Housing Supply Shortages

Limited housing construction in recent years means demand is outpacing supply — pushing both property prices and rents higher.

Affordability Compared to the East Coast

Perth remains more affordable than Sydney, Melbourne, or Brisbane, making it attractive to investors seeking better value.

Rental Market Pressure

Investors benefit from strong yields as tenants compete for limited rentals, especially in suburbs close to transport and amenities.

 
 

Suburb Trends to Watch in 2025

  • Cockburn Central & Success – boosted by transport links and shopping hubs.
  • Secret Harbour – strong coastal lifestyle demand.
  • Baldivis – growth through ongoing development and family appeal.
  • Armadale – affordability driving investor interest.

What This Means for Buyers, Sellers, and Investors

 

For Buyers:

 

Competition is strong, but opportunities remain in growth suburbs. Acting quickly and working with a local agent is key.

 

 

For Sellers:

 

The current market is favourable, with strong buyer demand helping drive competitive offers — if your property is well-presented and marketed correctly.

 

 

For Investors:

 

Low vacancy rates and rising rents make this an excellent time to consider expanding your portfolio. Suburbs with infrastructure and lifestyle appeal are especially attractive.
