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.
