Perth Property Market Defies National Trends with Strong Growth

Perth continues to outperform the national property market, with strong economic fundamentals and improved affordability driving sustained price growth.

Economic Drivers

The Western Australian economy remains robust, supported by:

  • Strong mining sector performance
  • Increased overseas migration
  • Competitive housing affordability relative to eastern capitals
  • Infrastructure investment and development

Price Performance

Perth house prices are approaching the $1 million median mark for the first time, with Domain forecasting the city could reach this milestone by the end of 2025. This represents remarkable growth from the market lows of previous years.

Rental Market Dynamics

The tight rental market is supporting both price growth and rental yields, with temporary mining sector workers adding to accommodation demand. Student migration is also expected to increase, further supporting the rental market.

Future Outlook

With mining sector strength expected to continue and relative affordability compared to Sydney and Melbourne, Perth is well-positioned for sustained growth through 2025 and beyond.
