SHORT & SHARP Marker Update! Half way through 2026 and here's where the Perth property market stands 🏡
• Perth continues to outperform, backed by strong population growth, a resilient WA economy and ongoing housing shortages.
• The market has adjusted since the federal budget announcements, with buyers becoming more cautious, taking longer to make decisions and negotiating more confidently.
• Listings have increased significantly, giving buyers more choice and creating a more balanced market.
• Well-presented, correctly priced homes are still attracting strong interest and achieving great results.
• Affordability is becoming a bigger factor, making pricing strategy and presentation more important than ever.
Looking ahead, interest rates, buyer confidence and new listings will be the key factors shaping the second half of 2026. It'll be interesting to see what the rest of the year brings! 📈
