Ep.196 - Perth Property Market Update: Growth Slows, Sentiment Shifts & The Suburbs Defying The Trend

Neil's back with valuer Jamie Van Burgal for the quarterly Perth property market update, and there's a lot to unpack. Perth posted nearly 5% quarterly growth while Sydney and Melbourne went backwards, but Jamie's data shows the heat is coming off, and the market is normalising rather than running out of steam. They cover: Why Perth is closing the gap on Sydney's median house price, down from a $900k difference to the $500ks in a single year The valuer sentiment survey result that stopped Neil in his tracks: 80% of valuers expected 5%+ growth a year ago, now only 30% do The suburbs posting eye-watering twelve month growth (Mandurah up 140%, East Perth up 73%, West Perth up 64%, Cockburn up 62%) and what's driving it Why entry level suburbs like Armadale and Medina have hit an affordability ceiling after leading the nation last year Listing volumes climbing past 5,000 for the first time since November 2024, and what that means for negotiating power Jamie's read on where Perth sits right now: not heading for a cliff, but not heading for double-digit growth either, and why interest rates matter more than the budget changes Whether you're sitting on the fence waiting to see how it all plays out, or wondering if cashflow positive property is more relevant than ever in a normalising market, this episode gives you the data to make the call. 👉 If you're serious about building wealth through property — and want to see what's actually possible — this episode is a must-listen. 🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode! 👉 Want help with your investment strategy?
