🏡 PERTH PROPERTY MARKET UPDATE | SEPTEMBER 2026

As we move into September, Perth’s property market is beginning to show a different dynamic to the exceptionally tight conditions that defined the start of 2026.

The year began with strong buyer demand, limited stock and continued upward pressure on prices. That momentum carried through the first half of the year, with Perth’s median house sale price reaching approximately $938,000 at the end of June, while the median unit price reached approximately $675,000.

But one of the biggest changes we’re now watching is supply.

By the end of July, Perth had 6,718 properties listed for sale - more than double the level recorded a year earlier. With more choice available, buyer urgency has started to ease and properties are taking longer to sell, signalling a gradual shift towards a more balanced market.

Importantly, a more balanced market doesn’t necessarily mean the end of price growth. REIWA still expects values to rise through the remainder of 2026, although at a more moderate pace than the rapid growth recorded earlier in the year. Current projections suggest Perth’s median house price could approach $1 million by year-end, while the median unit price could move beyond $750,000 if current trends continue.

For investors, the changing conditions reinforce the importance of looking beyond headline market growth. Location, rental demand, yield, supply, infrastructure and long-term growth drivers all play a role in identifying opportunities positioned to perform over time.

At West Coast Property Invest, we continue to monitor the market and assess opportunities based on the fundamentals - helping investors make informed decisions as conditions evolve.

🏡 The purchase price is only one number.

When assessing an investment property, it can be easy to focus on the figure at the top of the listing. But what you pay is only one part of understanding the opportunity.

What could the property realistically rent for? What are the ongoing holding costs? How much maintenance could it require? What happens if the property sits vacant between tenants? And importantly, what does the location offer for the years ahead?

Two properties with a similar purchase price can deliver very different outcomes once you start looking at the complete picture.

At Westcoast Property Invest, we look beyond the initial price tag and consider the factors that can influence an investment both now and over the longer term.
Because a strong property investment decision isn’t simply about what it costs to buy - it’s about understanding what you’re buying into.

What actually makes an investment property a good investment? 🏡

It's easy to focus on the purchase price or the look of a property, but experienced investors know there's much more to consider.

A property's long-term performance is influenced by a combination of factors, including its location, rental demand, growth potential, surrounding infrastructure and how well it aligns with your overall investment strategy.

The strongest investment opportunities aren't always the most obvious - they're the ones backed by solid fundamentals and informed decision-making.

Swipe through to discover some of the key characteristics we look for when helping clients build a property portfolio designed for long-term success.
Thinking about your next investment? Let's have a conversation about finding the right property for your goals.

Perth’s property market has moved considerably over the past few years, and in 2026, investing well is about more than simply getting into the market.

With prices having shifted, rental conditions evolving and different growth corridors sitting at very different stages of development, being clear on your strategy before you buy matters.
Here are 5 things we encourage investors to consider before making their next move:

1️⃣ Know what you can comfortably invest
Your borrowing capacity is the starting point, but it shouldn’t be the only number you consider. Look at your deposit, repayments, expected rental income, ongoing costs and the financial buffer you’ll have once the property is yours.

2️⃣ Know what you want the property to achieve
Are you prioritising rental return, longer-term capital growth or building a portfolio over time? Being clear on the objective helps narrow down the locations and property types that actually suit your strategy.

3️⃣ Compare the total cost, not just the advertised price
A property that initially appears cheaper may require additional spending before it’s ready to rent. Landscaping, window treatments, air conditioning, fencing and other inclusions can quickly change the final figure. That’s why we place a strong focus on understanding the complete cost from the outset.

4️⃣ Pay attention to what’s driving the location
In 2026, it’s not enough to simply label an area a “growth suburb”. Look at what is actually supporting demand - population growth, infrastructure, employment, transport connections, amenities, housing supply and rental demand all matter.

5️⃣ Be selective, not reactive
A moving market can create pressure to act quickly, but not every available property is the right investment. Compare the numbers, understand the fundamentals and make sure the opportunity fits your strategy before committing.

At West Coast Property Invest, our role is to help clients cut through the market noise and understand the complete picture behind an opportunity.
Because in today’s market, it’s not simply about buying property - it’s about buying the right property for your strategy.

If you’re considering your first investment or looking at what could come next for your portfolio, speak with our team.

🏡 Smart property beats fast property.

In a market like Perth, where conditions can shift quickly and opportunities can look very different from one suburb to the next, making a good property decision isn’t simply about being the first to act.
It’s about knowing where to look, what to look for and when an opportunity actually stacks up.

As a Perth property specialist, Ollie Salimi brings local market knowledge to every conversation - looking beyond the listing itself to understand the location, surrounding development, buyer and rental demand, infrastructure and the factors that could influence an area over the longer term.

Because knowing Perth means understanding that two suburbs only a few kilometres apart can present very different opportunities.

The goal isn’t to buy quickly because the market is moving.
It’s to make an informed decision backed by local knowledge, market insight and a clear strategy.

Smart property beats fast property - and local knowledge matters more than ever.

📍 Suburb Snapshot | Yanchep

Yanchep has continued to establish itself as one of Perth's key northern coastal suburbs.

What was once considered the outer edge of the metropolitan area has matured significantly, supported by improved transport connections, expanding local amenities, schools, retail precincts and its sought-after coastal lifestyle.

For property investors, it's a reminder that successful investing isn't just about looking at today's market - it's about understanding how a suburb has evolved, what continues to drive demand and where future opportunities may exist.

Every suburb tells a different story, and understanding those fundamentals is an important part of making informed investment decisions.

Perth Property Market Update | July 2026

Perth’s property market continues to demonstrate resilience, with the median house price reaching $938,000 and dwelling values recording further monthly growth.

Although selling conditions have begun to moderate, with more properties entering the market and the median selling period increasing to 18 days, demand remains supported by strong population growth and ongoing pressure across the housing market.

The rental market also remains highly competitive. Median house rents are now sitting at $750 per week, while Perth’s vacancy rate remains extremely tight at just 0.6%.

For investors, the latest figures highlight the importance of looking beyond headline growth and understanding changing supply levels, rental demand and the fundamentals supporting each individual suburb.

Perth’s northern coastal corridor has changed significantly over the past few years - and in 2026, that growth story is well underway.

Suburbs like Alkimos, Eglinton, Yanchep and Two Rocks are no longer simply emerging areas on Perth’s fringe. Growing communities, established transport connections, expanding amenities and continued residential development have helped reshape the corridor into an increasingly established part of Perth’s north.

We’ve seen this evolution before.

Think back to Quinns Rocks and Butler more than 20 years ago. What were once developing coastal communities are now established, well-connected suburbs with limited opportunities to recreate the affordability buyers once found there.

Today, the northern corridor is further along its own journey.

For investors, that means the conversation has shifted. It’s less about trying to identify an undiscovered suburb and more about understanding where future growth can come from as these communities continue to mature.

Population growth, new housing, infrastructure investment, rental demand and the continued expansion of local amenities all form part of that picture.

Smart property investment isn’t about chasing the newest suburb or waiting until an area is completely established.

It’s about understanding where a market sits in its growth cycle - and what could drive its next stage.
