Perth’s 10 best-performing suburbs for FY22
Dwelling prices nationwide grew enormously during the last financial year, and the Western Australian capital was no exception.
The city’s top performing suburb for the 2021–22 financial year was Marmion, with the northern Perth area’s median house price rising 39.7 per cent to $1.35 million during that time. It was followed by nearby North Beach, where prices climbed 36.2 per cent. The top three was rounded out by Gwelup, which experienced a 35.2 per cent price jump.
Real Estate Institute of Western Australia (REIWA) president Damian Collins said the performance of the top 10 was reflective of the strong overall market conditions seen throughout the city.
“Each suburb on this list experienced median house sale price growth of more than 26 per cent in just 12 months, which is significant and suggests competition amongst buyers is high,” he said.
A whopping 90 per cent of the top 10 had median house sales prices of over $1 million by the financial year’s end, highlighting Perth’s luxury market domination of the list.
“Good quality homes in desirable locations are achieving positive outcomes for sellers in these areas.”
Five of these suburbs — Marmion, Gwelup, Mount Hawthorn, Fremantle, and North Perth — entered the financial year with median sales prices below $1 million, but ended it having entered the $1 million-plus bracket, a feat Mr Collins labelled as “impressive.”
Mr Collins says the institute is anticipating the state’s residential property market to remain strong, due to the Western Australia’s “healthy economy, ongoing population growth, and housing.”
