Perth Market Update: Opportunity and Pressure for First Home Buyers. teaser

Perth’s property market remains one of the strongest in the country, with sustained demand continuing to drive growth into the final quarter of 2025. Recent reports from REIWA show that median house prices, rental values and sales activity are all trending upward, with August and September posting further gains. This demand, combined with limited supply, has pushed Perth’s market to record highs while many eastern states are showing signs of cooling.

Adding to the momentum, changes to the First Homeowner Scheme have been welcomed by buyers looking to take their first step into the market. While the expanded scheme provides much-needed support, it has also intensified enquiry levels, which are now on par with the early months of 2024. For first-time buyers, this means more opportunities, but also more competition.

At the same time, both land availability and established housing stock are tighter than they were 12 months ago. This shortage continues to place upward pressure on prices, while interest rates, currently on hold after several cuts, are giving buyers greater confidence to act. The result is a competitive landscape where properties are selling quickly, and demand shows no signs of slowing.

For those considering building, the good news is that new opportunities are on the horizon. With just three months left in the year, Land4Sale has exciting land releases scheduled across Perth, including Anketell, Bentley, Yanchep and Treeby. These estates will give first-home buyers and investors a fresh chance to secure a place in Perth’s thriving market.
