For a long time, most of the attention has been on Perth's property market. But we're starting to see more interest in regional WA as buyers and investors look for value beyond the metro area.

Many regional centres are benefiting from population growth, infrastructure investment and ongoing demand for housing. Combined with the lifestyle many regional communities offer, it's easy to see why they're attracting more attention.

As WA continues to grow, regional communities will play an increasingly important role in meeting the State's housing needs.

Perth’s property market continues to show resilience, with new data revealing home values are still rising by around $4,000 a week.

Despite expectations that growth would begin to moderate, demand across WA remains strong, particularly with tight housing supply and ongoing population growth continuing to support the market.

While the pace may eventually ease, Perth is still standing out as one of the country’s strongest-performing property markets.

Affordable regional markets are continuing to attract attention across Australia - and WA is firmly part of that conversation.

As affordability pressures grow in major capital cities, more buyers and investors are turning their focus toward regional centres offering stronger value, lifestyle appeal and long-term growth potential.

It’s another reminder that housing demand isn’t just a metro issue. Regional WA continues to play an important role in the State’s future growth and housing supply.

We saw two major developments over the past week highlighting how important housing supply and affordability have become across WA.

The RBA increased the cash rate to 4.35%, while the WA State Budget announced a record $4.7 billion investment into housing measures across the State.

Some of the key housing measures announced include:
• More than 500 new regional worker homes
• Additional investment into affordable and social housing
• Increased support for first home buyers
• Funding aimed at boosting housing supply and regional growth

While higher interest rates may place more pressure on borrowing capacity, demand across WA remains strong, particularly in affordable and regional markets where supply continues to lag behind population growth.
