Perth Housing Market On The Rise

The future looks bright, with all signs pointing to an end to Australia’s housing downturn. According to the latest Domain House Price Report, Perth has experienced a 6.1% increase in house prices over the past year, making it the best performing capital by far. Perth is actually one of only two capital cities to experience growth since interest rate increases started.

Additionally, according to the most recent CoreLogic Rental Pulse, Perth recorded the largest year on year change in median rent for dwellings to April 2023. Dwellings in Perth are currently returning a 4.88% rental yield, making them second only to Darwin, where yields are 6.43%. Perth’s vacancy rate however is the second lowest across all the capitals and is twice as low as Darwin’s vacancy rate. High yields and low vacancies combined with Perth’s affordability continues to attract investors to the market.

Whilst demand for properties remains high, supply is reaching record low levels. There isn’t much good news on this front either. Before a property can be advertised for sale, a listing authority must be signed by both the owner and the selling agent. According to Ray White Chief Economist Nerida Conisbee, listing authorities are down well over 25% in WA. What does this mean for Perth homebuyers? With new listings decreasing, the supply shortage won’t be ending anytime soon. Competition will remain high, continuing to fuel growth in Perth’s property market.
