Almost every single person who sold a house or unit in Perth in the second half of 2025 made a profit, new data from property portal Domain shows.

For the first time in 15 years, more than 90% of house resales in every Australian capital city turned a profit, the report showed. And in Perth, 99.5% of house resales and 96.8% of home unit resales saw a profit in the second half of 2025.
Domain chief economist Nicola Powell said the size of the profits was widening the gap between existing owners and prospective buyers, "making it increasingly difficult for younger Australians to buy property without the support of intergenerational wealth".
"With record median profits in many of our cities and regions, the barrier to entry is increasingly defined by existing family equity, rather than individual savings alone," Dr Powell said.
