Perth Property Market 2026 — The Complete Local Guide

Perth's property market enters 2026 as one of the most closely watched in the country. After several years of standout growth driven by strong migration, a resilient resources sector and persistently tight rental supply, buyers, renters and investors all want to know what comes next. The Daily Perth tracks the Western Australian market every day — from REIWA median price moves and CoreLogic capital-city comparisons to suburb-level auction results, off-market sales, build-cost pressures and changes to stamp duty, land tax and first-home buyer concessions. We cover the long-term shifts shaping where people can afford to live: infill versus greenfield supply, planning reform, METRONET-driven price uplift around new stations, and the rise of build-to-rent and short-stay regulation. This guide pulls together our latest Perth property coverage in one place so you can see how the market is moving in real time.
