The Perth market has become a strong option for investors in recent months, due to higher yields, lower buy-in-prices, and rapid rates of population growth through overseas and interstate migration. (Reference: CoreLogic, Research News, 24 Jul 2023)

 

So if you're looking for the best of both worlds - now's the time. With lower median prices proving resilient through the rate hiking cycle so far, Perth has both a higher yield profile and strong prospects for capital gain. We're also currently the only capital city in Australia where housing values have recovered to a new record high. (Reference: CoreLogic, Research News, 24 Jul 2023)

 

Our corner of Perth in particular has seen a surge in activity from east coast investors eyeing off the best investment prospects. In June alone, Armadale recorded a median house price of $330,000, a median weekly rent of $400 and a 6.3% gross rental yield - proving ideal for potential investors, or those searching for their forever home.

Taking the top spot on REIWA's 'Top 20 Perth Suburbs to Invest In', Armadale was one of the fastest-selling and top-performing suburbs for house price growth at the month's end. (Reference: Perth Now, The West Australian, 27 Jul 2023)

 

O'Neil Real Estate residential sales consultant, Ash Schwarts, described the Armadale market as 'crazy over the previous 6 months', with the competition between investors and regular home-buyers made fiercer by eastern states investors snatching up properties.

"For them, the risk is worth the reward because they still see Armadale as cheap", Schwarts commented, adding, "it appeals to them because it's close to the city, has good public transport and plenty of local amenities, as well as strong commercial prospects".
