How Perth's Housing Supply Is Changing
Perth's growing population is creating an ongoing need for new housing, with developers, builders and governments working to increase supply across the metropolitan area. While construction activity is showing signs of improvement, the challenge remains ensuring enough homes are delivered to meet demand. Perth's Growing Need for Housing Western Australia's housing construction pipeline has strengthened throughout 2026, with new dwelling approvals and construction starts increasing. According to Australian Bureau of Statistics data, more than 24,200 homes commenced construction across WA in the year to March 2026, an increase of 15.2% compared with the previous year. However, the number of homes being completed remains below the levels needed to meet longer-term housing targets. The Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) estimates that approximately 17,000 new dwellings were completed across Greater Perth's greenfield and multi-unit infill sectors in 2025, highlighting the continuing challenge of delivering enough new housing. Where Are Perth's New Homes Being Built? Perth's housing growth is taking place through two main forms of development: greenfield expansion and urban infill. Greenfield development involves creating new residential communities on previously undeveloped land, generally towards the outer edges of the metropolitan area. These developments typically include detached houses, new roads and community infrastructure. Urban infill, on the other hand, introduces additional housing into established suburbs through subdivision, redevelopment and higher-density residential projects. In areas such as Mount Lawley, North Perth and surrounding suburbs, infill development can provide opportunities for additional homes while making use of existing transport connections, schools, shops and other amenities. Both forms of development play an important role in accommodating Perth's growing population. More Variety in Housing Types While detached houses remain a significant part of Perth's residential landscape, there is increasing attention on delivering a wider range of housing options. Apartments, townhouses, villas and smaller-lot homes can provide alternatives for first-home buyers, downsizers and households seeking lower-maintenance living. The State Government has also proposed changes to Western Australia's Residential Design Codes, commonly known as the R-Codes, to encourage additional housing within established suburbs. Announced in July 2026, the proposed reforms include changes that could make subdivision possible for more than 50,000 existing residential properties across metropolitan Perth. If implemented, these changes could create further opportunities for housing diversity, although individual development potential would remain subject to applicable planning requirements and approvals. Why Does New Housing Take Time? Although an increase in building approvals is encouraging, approval does not mean a home is immediately available. Before construction can begin, developments may require planning assessments, infrastructure connections, financing and suitable construction resources. Building costs, labour availability and the complexity of individual projects can also influence how quickly new homes reach completion. These challenges are particularly relevant for apartment and townhouse developments, which often involve more complex planning, financing and construction processes than individual houses. As a result, there can be a considerable delay between a development receiving approval and the completed homes becoming available to buyers or tenants. What Does This Mean for Perth's Future? Increasing housing supply will remain an important priority as Perth continues to expand. The State Government's longer-term planning framework aims to accommodate a growing population while encouraging more development within existing urban areas. Achieving this balance will require a combination of new residential communities, well-planned infill development and greater diversity in housing types. For buyers and homeowners, these changes may gradually influence the range of properties available, the character of local neighbourhoods and opportunities for future development. As Perth continues to grow, delivering a diverse and sustainable supply of housing will be essential to meeting the changing needs of the city's residents....
Perth Property in a Higher Interest Rate Environment
The Reserve Bank of Australia has announced another increase to the official cash rate, bringing it to 4.85% following its November meeting. As households continue to navigate higher living costs and mortgage repayments, the latest decision raises questions about what lies ahead for Perth's property market. Why Have Interest Rates Increased Again? On 3 November 2026, the RBA increased the cash rate by 0.25 percentage points, marking the fifth increase this year and bringing the rate to its highest level since 2008. The decision follows continued concerns about inflation, with the RBA seeking to bring price growth back within its target range of 2% to 3%. While higher interest rates are intended to reduce spending and ease inflationary pressures, they also influence the property market by affecting borrowing capacity, mortgage repayments and household budgets. For Perth buyers and sellers, this creates a different environment from the exceptionally competitive conditions experienced in recent years. What Does This Mean for Buyers? Higher interest rates can reduce the amount prospective buyers are able to borrow, particularly when lenders assess their ability to comfortably manage mortgage repayments. As a result, some buyers may need to reconsider their budgets, explore different property types or take additional time before making a purchasing decision. However, changing market conditions can also provide opportunities. With more properties becoming available and buyers approaching purchases more carefully, there may be greater scope to compare options, undertake due diligence and make considered decisions. For those financially prepared to enter the market, understanding borrowing capacity and obtaining appropriate lending advice remains an important first step. A More Balanced Perth Property Market Perth's property market has experienced significant changes throughout 2026, with an increase in available listings providing buyers with considerably more choice. According to REIWA, there were 9,217 properties advertised for sale across Perth at the beginning of November, more than three times the number available at the same time last year. This increase in supply, combined with higher borrowing costs, is contributing to a shift away from the intense competition that characterised previous market conditions. While well-presented properties in desirable locations continue to attract interest, buyers may now have more time to consider their options, compare properties and negotiate. Importantly, market conditions are not uniform across Perth. Demand can vary considerably depending on suburb, property type, price range and the availability of comparable homes. What Should Sellers Consider? For homeowners considering selling, a changing market places greater importance on understanding current buyer expectations. As purchasers become more selective, realistic pricing, thoughtful presentation and an effective marketing strategy can make a meaningful difference to a property's performance. Properties that are well maintained, appropriately priced and positioned to appeal to their target market are more likely to stand out when buyers have a wider selection of homes to consider. Rather than relying solely on previous sales results or broader market headlines, sellers should consider recent comparable transactions, competing listings and buyer activity within their immediate area. A well-informed approach can help sellers navigate changing conditions with greater confidence. Looking Beyond Interest Rates Although interest rates play an important role in shaping property market activity, they are only one part of the broader picture. Population growth, housing supply, employment conditions, lifestyle preferences and local amenities all contribute to the way buyers and sellers approach the market. For many purchasers, decisions are also influenced by longer-term considerations, including family needs, proximity to schools and workplaces, and the desire to establish themselves in a particular neighbourhood. Similarly, homeowners considering selling may be motivated by changing personal circumstances rather than interest rate movements alone. While the higher interest rate environment is encouraging a more measured approach to property decisions, it does not eliminate opportunities for buyers or sellers. As Perth's property market continues to evolve, understanding local conditions, setting realistic expectations and making informed decisions will remain essential, regardless of where interest rates move next....
