The Perth housing market continued to be a seller’s market in June 2024, with strong buyer demand driving fast sales and rising prices. Houses are now selling in a median of eight days, which is three days faster than they were selling a year ago. Units are also experiencing a quick turnaround, selling in a median of eleven days. This is nine days faster than what we saw in June 2023.
Perth house prices reached a record high in June, with the median sale price reaching $660,000. This represents a 1.5% increase from May 2024 and a significant 17.9% increase compared to June 2023. Unit prices have also risen, with the median reaching $440,500. This is a 1.3% increase from May 2024 and a 10% increase year-over-year.
Experts predict that as Perth property prices continue to climb, more suburbs will join the million-dollar club. Suburbs like Yokine, Coolbinia, Menora, and Serpentine-Jarrahdale are all expected to see their average house prices reach the seven-figure mark.
