New Apartments in Perth

Property data analytics firm CoreLogic's data showed Perth was the number one performer in both the house and unit market in 2023. House prices jumped 15.2 per cent, to a median of $691,000, now nearly higher than Hobart ($700,000), while units rose 12.4 per cent to a new median of $464,000.

High demand and low supply have driven up prices, benefiting apartment developers despite challenges such as labour and material costs. Soaring rents have also made Western Australia a prime investment market, according to MCG Quantity Surveyors.

“Western Australia, and more specifically Perth, has seen a substantial uptick in investor participation. Price is a factor as some big capital city markets are now beyond the reach of everyday buyers. Our analysis shows the average price an investor pays for a property is approximately $615,000. That amount will go a lot further in Perth than it will in Sydney or Melbourne."
