Perth Property Market Continues Its Strong Growth Momentum

Perth’s property market has entered 2026 with remarkable momentum, building on a year of standout performance. Dwelling values rose 2.0% in January, marking the strongest gain of all capital cities and reinforcing Perth’s position as one of Australia’s most resilient housing markets.

Throughout 2025, Perth recorded an impressive 15.9% increase in dwelling values, driven primarily by a persistent imbalance between supply and demand. That imbalance shows no signs of easing in 2026. With no material increase in housing supply expected, upward pressure on prices is likely to continue.

A key factor behind the ongoing capital gains is consistently low inventory, which remains well below typical levels. New listings continue to track under the 10‑year average, keeping active stock scarce. Many potential sellers are hesitant to list their homes due to the difficulty of securing their next property—whether buying or renting—creating a feedback loop that further restricts supply.

Demand, on the other hand, remains elevated. Growth is particularly strong at the lower end of the market, where intense competition among first‑home buyers and investors is driving up prices for more affordable houses. This heightened buyer activity, combined with limited available stock, is accelerating gains in entry‑level segments.

All signs point to a market still firmly led by the ongoing imbalance between supply and demand. Even with the latest rate rise, Perth’s property values are expected to remain on an upward trajectory throughout 2026.
