The Perth property market delivered another standout year in 2025, reinforcing its position as one of Australia’s strongest-performing markets.
Property values continued their upward trajectory, supported by strong buyer demand across many suburbs.
While affordability remained a key challenge, Perth’s relative value compared to the eastern states continued to attract both local and interstate buyers.
Population growth played a significant role throughout the year, placing pressure on housing supply - particularly in established suburbs close to lifestyle amenities, schools and transport.
*Fun fact - we’ve just tipped 3 million in population for the first time ever!
At the same time, legislative changes to tenancy laws influenced investor sentiment, prompting some landlords to reassess their portfolios while quality properties remained in high demand.
At Peard Real Estate, we understand the frustrations many buyers faced in 2025… from increased competition to navigating finance approvals. That’s why we work closely with trusted mortgage brokers to help buyers secure competitive rates, understand their borrowing capacity, and receive practical, upfront advice before entering the market.
We also collaborate closely with sellers to create flexible sale conditions that support successful outcomes for both parties. Longer settlement periods and rent-back options have become valuable tools, allowing buyers time to finalise finance while helping sellers transition smoothly to their next move.
The rental market remained tight throughout the year, with low vacancy rates supporting steady rental growth and reinforcing Perth’s appeal as a long-term investment destination.
Looking ahead, the market continues to be underpinned by population growth, infrastructure investment and constrained supply. While conditions may stabilise, informed guidance and strategic planning remain essential.
Whether you’re buying, selling or investing, Peard Real Estate is here to provide clear advice, practical solutions and local expertise: Every step of the way.
