Suburbs to watch in 2026

As we approach the end of 2025, many of our clients are asking about our 2026 predictions.

Although we can't predict the future, one thing is clear: as long as supply stays tight and demand remains strong, prices are set to rise. Here are some suburbs that our team believes will continue to perform strongly, based on our expertise and current market insights pointing to further growth in these areas.

Warwick (6024)
Located just 14km north of Perth, Warwick is shaping up as an undervalued gem. With large blocks, redevelopment potential, and great access to the Mitchell Freeway and public transport, it offers long-term appeal for both families and investors.

South Lake (6164)
Affordable and conveniently positioned near major employment hubs, South Lake’s generous block sizes and ongoing growth make it an attractive choice for those chasing capital growth and strong rental returns.

East Victoria Park (6101)
Known for its vibrant café strip and proximity to Curtin University and the CBD, East Vic Park continues to see strong price and rental growth—particularly in the unit market. It’s a lifestyle hub that’s also an investor favourite.



Carlisle (6101)
Benefiting from Metronet upgrades and improved public spaces, Carlisle is emerging as a top pick for affordability and connectivity. Its mix of character homes and new developments attracts everyone from first-home buyers to downsizers.

Nollamara (6061)
Just 8km from both the city and coast, Nollamara offers great value compared to its pricier neighbours. With good transport links, steady growth, and solid yields, it’s a standout for buyers seeking affordability with upside.

Padbury (6025)
Close to the coast, top schools, and transport, Padbury offers family-friendly living with strong value compared to nearby Duncraig. Its recent growth past the $1M median mark reflects rising demand in this northern pocket.




Ellenbrook–Ballajura–Noranda–Morley (Perth's East Corridor)

This east‑corridor cluster is gaining momentum thanks to the brand‑new Morley–Ellenbrook Line which enhances rail access and is reshaping the local property landscape.

The corridor features improving retail and community nodes and offers a variety of price‑points for different buyers. Units and townhouses near the new stations are expected to stay in demand, while houses on subdividable blocks in older pockets show latent value for small developers and upgraders
