Property Outlook

Perth’s property market has been relatively calm compared to other states, having not been substantially impacted by major COVID outbreaks or lockdowns. The growth in average selling prices has been less than 10% since the start of the year to 1 September. However, listing stocks are at historically low levels and with other states opening their borders, this could lead to a shift of interest from the high prices found in the eastern capitals of Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, to Perth and regional WA.
