Subi Night Market Returns for Another Season
As Perth's evenings begin to warm up, the Subi Night Market has returned for another season, transforming Market Square Park into a lively Saturday night destination filled with food, music and community atmosphere. Running every Saturday evening from September 2026 through to May 2027, the markets bring together an exciting mix of international flavours, local makers and entertainment, offering something for families, friends and anyone looking for a relaxed evening out. A world of flavours in one place Food is at the heart of the Subi Night Market experience, with more than 40 food vendors offering everything from international street food to gourmet desserts. This season welcomes several new additions, including Cha Pang with its Thai pancake rolls, Celtic Cravings serving Irish-inspired comfort food, and Piadina Nonna Pina offering traditional Italian flatbreads. Those with a sweet tooth can enjoy loaded cookies from Emotional Support Cookies or explore Japanese matcha and hojicha creations from MatchérieXO. Returning favourites include Taco Daddy, Pasta e Fagioli and Banana Leaf Filipino Cuisine, while local distillery Spirit of Little Things is back with a pop-up bar serving botanical cocktails and locally crafted drinks. More than just a food market Beyond the food, visitors can explore around 20 artisan traders showcasing locally made products, from handmade candles and homewares to fashion, gifts and gourmet treats. Live entertainment is another highlight, with the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts joining the markets for the first time this season to provide weekly music and roving performances. Visitors can also look forward to outdoor movie screenings, jazz performances, dance classes and other activities throughout the season. For something a little different, the markets will transform into the Subi Fright Market on Saturday 31 October, with Halloween-themed entertainment, trick-or-treating, face painting and an outdoor movie screening. A Saturday night in Subiaco Inspired by the atmosphere of European village squares, the markets encourage visitors to slow down, explore the stalls and enjoy an evening outdoors.

Are Energy-Efficient Homes Worth More?
When it comes to buying a home, location, presentation and functionality have traditionally been among the biggest considerations. However, energy efficiency is becoming an increasingly important part of the conversation, with buyers looking beyond a property's appearance to consider how comfortable and affordable it will be to live in. A new national report, The Efficiency Edge, released by the Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) and property data company Cotality, explores the relationship between a home's energy performance, buyer demand and property values. The findings suggest that energy-efficient features may offer benefits beyond reduced household bills, potentially contributing to stronger sale prices and rental returns. What the research found The report examined properties with strong energy performance, highlighting examples where homes achieved sale prices above comparable local medians. Across the case studies, some properties sold for as much as 66 per cent above their comparable local median, while one recorded a rental return 35 per cent higher than an alternative property inspected by the tenant. Although these results are encouraging, energy efficiency was not the only factor influencing their performance. Location, design, condition and other property characteristics also contributed to the outcomes. The research also highlighted growing interest in energy ratings, with 86 per cent of participants in Australian Government research considering this information important when buying a home, and 75 per cent when renting. A closer look at Western Australia Two Western Australian properties featured in the report, including a home in Mount Hawthorn. The three-bedroom Mount Hawthorn property sold for $1.25 million in 2023, above the comparable local median at the time. It is now rented for $1,250 per week, compared with the suburb's median of $950 for three-bedroom houses. Natural light, cross-ventilation and year-round comfort were among the features highlighted as contributing to the property's appeal. Another example in Fremantle involved a three-bedroom townhouse that sold for $1.555 million in April 2026, approximately 22 per cent above the comparable median for three-bedroom townhouses in the area. Buyer feedback indicated that sustainability was an important consideration in the purchase decision, demonstrating how energy performance can form part of a property's overall appeal. What features are buyers looking for? Energy efficiency doesn't necessarily require extensive renovations or expensive technology. Features such as effective insulation, well-positioned windows, natural ventilation and energy-efficient heating and cooling can make a noticeable difference to a home's comfort and running costs. Solar panels, efficient hot water systems, double glazing and thoughtful building design can also contribute to improved energy performance. For buyers, these features may offer greater certainty around ongoing household expenses, particularly as electricity costs and broader living expenses remain important considerations. For investors, a comfortable and efficient property may also appeal to tenants looking to manage their energy costs. What does this mean for homeowners? For homeowners considering improvements, energy efficiency is becoming another factor worth considering alongside presentation, functionality and general maintenance. While not every upgrade will translate directly into a higher sale price, improvements that make a property more comfortable, practical and economical to operate may strengthen its appeal to prospective buyers. It is also becoming increasingly valuable for sellers to highlight existing energy-efficient features when marketing their property. Solar installations, insulation, efficient appliances and passive design elements can all help demonstrate the benefits a home offers beyond its appearance. As awareness of home energy performance continues to grow, these details may play a greater role in how buyers compare properties. While location and presentation will always remain important, growing interest in energy efficiency suggests that a home's comfort, sustainability and running costs could become increasingly valuable considerations in Perth's property market....
The Changing Face of Perth’s Property Market
Perth’s property market is evolving, with buyers increasingly considering a wider range of housing options to suit their lifestyles, budgets and long-term plans. While traditional detached homes remain highly desirable, apartments, townhouses and low-maintenance properties are becoming an increasingly important part of Perth’s housing landscape. As established suburbs continue to develop and buyer priorities change, the idea of what makes an ideal home is becoming more varied. A shift towards low-maintenance living For many buyers, the appeal of a property extends beyond its size or the amount of land it occupies. Busy professionals, downsizers and smaller households are increasingly considering homes that require less ongoing maintenance, allowing more time to enjoy the lifestyle and amenities surrounding them. Townhouses, villas and apartments can offer a practical alternative to larger family homes, particularly in established suburbs where detached properties may come with a higher purchase price. Features such as functional floorplans, secure parking, private outdoor areas and easy-care gardens can make these properties especially attractive to buyers seeking convenience without sacrificing comfort. Lifestyle and location remain important Perth’s established inner-city suburbs continue to offer a combination of character, convenience and lifestyle that appeals to a broad range of buyers. Areas such as Mount Lawley, North Perth, Highgate and Mount Hawthorn provide access to cafés, restaurants, parks, shopping precincts and transport connections, making them desirable for those who value having everyday amenities close to home. For some buyers, this means prioritising location over property size. A well-positioned apartment or townhouse may offer greater lifestyle benefits than a larger home further from the places they regularly visit. Walkability, access to public transport and proximity to entertainment and recreational facilities can all influence purchasing decisions. More variety in established suburbs As Perth’s population grows, established suburbs are gradually adapting to accommodate different housing needs. Urban infill developments, subdivisions and the redevelopment of older properties are introducing a broader mix of housing options into areas traditionally dominated by detached homes. This includes contemporary townhouses, boutique apartment developments and thoughtfully designed villas, often positioned alongside established character properties. While these changes can create new opportunities for buyers, preserving the character and appeal of existing neighbourhoods remains an important consideration. The traditional family home still has its place Despite growing interest in alternative housing options, detached homes continue to hold strong appeal, particularly among families seeking additional space, privacy and flexibility. Larger blocks, multiple living areas, outdoor entertaining spaces and room for children or pets remain important considerations for many buyers. Established homes can also offer opportunities for renovation, extension or personalisation, allowing owners to adapt a property to their changing needs over time. Rather than one property type replacing another, Perth’s market is becoming more diverse, with buyers choosing homes that reflect their individual priorities. As Perth continues to evolve, the growing variety of housing options is giving buyers more ways to find a property that suits their lifestyle, while creating new opportunities across the city’s established suburbs....
