Perth Property Market Update – Opportunities for Investors​​​​​​​

Perth Property Market Update – Opportunities for Investors

Timing the market perfectly is never easy. The real question for most investors is: What's your next move?

Whether you're thinking about upsizing, downsizing, or rebalancing your portfolio, aligning your sale and purchase strategy can make a significant difference, especially in a rising market.

Low Stock, High Demand – What's Happening in Perth Right Now

Perth is currently experiencing some of the tightest listing conditions we've historically seen. Available properties remain 44% lower than the same time last year, creating strong competition among buyers. Many suburbs recorded up to 30% growth last year, and this momentum is continuing, supported by a persistent shortage of homes.

Local Highlights – Strong Performing Suburbs

A number of Perth suburbs continue to outperform, driven by buyer demand and limited supply:

Baldivis & Wellard:

  • Family demand remains high, with fast-moving houses and strong rental yields.

Cockburn Central & Success: 

  • Popular with commuters and investors, with tight vacancy rates and steady price growth.

Hammond Park & Atwell: 

  • Consistent buyer interest at home opens, particularly for low-maintenance family homes.

Fremantle & Beaconsfield: 

  • Character homes and lifestyle locations continue to attract premium prices.

 

These suburbs reflect a broader trend across Perth, well-presented properties are selling quickly and often above expectations.

What We're Seeing on the Ground

At our agency, buyer activity has been exceptionally strong.

  • Up to 30 buyers attending a single home open
  • Multiple competitive offers on a wide range of properties
  • Investor sales regularly exceeding price expectations

Richard continues to achieve outstanding results for our investor clients, helped by strategic negotiation and deep local market knowledge.

Listings Are Rising Slightly - But Demand Is Holding Firm

While listings have increased from 2,800 to just over 3,000, weekly sales remain solid at 900+ transactions per week.

No one can predict the future with certainty, but the current conditions suggest that now remains an excellent window to sell, with the potential for strong returns.
