All About Perth, WA, 6000

The housing market in Perth, Western Australia, has experienced notable fluctuations over the past few years. As Western Australia's capital, Perth has seen its real estate dynamics influenced by factors such as economic shifts, population growth, and the mining industry's impact. In recent times, the market has shown signs of resilience and recovery after periods of stagnation, offering a relatively more affordable entry point compared to Australia's eastern cities like Sydney and Melbourne. Housing in Perth ranges from modern high-rise apartments in the bustling city center to sprawling suburban homes, with areas like Subiaco and Fremantle being particularly popular for their unique character and lifestyle offerings. The metropolitan area provides a diverse array of options for buyers and investors, with new developments and infrastructure improvements making some suburbs increasingly attractive.

Perth Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Perth? Now could not be a better time, with 21305 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $637,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $170,000 to $5,188,000. Perth is located fairly close to the coast at just 6Km so as well as great views of the ocean and access to beaches, demand and valuations are likely to be a bit higher here.

Prices are above market average and increase steadily under persistent demand. A more sustainable rate of price growth is anticipated in the short to medium term. In this area of average incomes, there is a mix of housing size and quality. While this may present buying opportunities, growth may be constrained. As buyers begin to examine Perth due to other areas being out of the price range and the trend to working from home, "gentrification" may incease price growth. The high percentage of professional people in Perth classifies the area as "gentrified". This implies high demand for quality housing, generally of larger than average size. Price growth is ensured even where the state affordability index is negatively impacting other areas. High density population in Perth requires consistent turnover in housing ensuring constant demand. Housing styles may be a mix of low, medium, and high density, providing choice for well-financed buyers and value growth over time. Higher than average industry presence in the wider area offering local employment yet with not a large negative impact on local amenity, provides good demand and price growth.
