Is Perth Still Worth Buying In 2026?

Perth has been one of the hottest property markets in Australia. Prices have surged, some suburbs have nearly doubled in value over the past five years, and the city recorded around 13% growth in 2025. But now everyone is asking the same question: Is the Perth property boom over? In this video we break down the real data behind the Perth housing market in 2026 so you can understand what’s actually happening — not just headlines. By the end of this video you’ll understand: • Why Perth property prices surged over the last few years • The three key forces driving the boom • Population growth and migration trends • Why supply shortages are still a major factor • What rental vacancy rates mean for investors • Predictions from major research houses for 2026 • The biggest risks that could slow the market • Suburbs analysts are watching right now • Key indicators investors should monitor We also look at forecasts from major institutions including KPMG, ANZ, Propertyology, and AMP and what they expect for Perth property prices over the next few years. Many analysts expect growth to slow slightly in 2026, but slowing from 13% growth to around 10–11% is still extremely strong by historical standards. The big question becomes: Is Perth just pausing for breath, or is the market about to turn?
