Perth Property Market in 2026 | Where is it Going with David Murray
Mon Jan 26 2026
In this episode of the Backyard Property Pod, Michael sits down with David Murray, Co-Director of White Fox Perth, for a candid look at the 2026 property landscape. From the "human element" of real estate to the rise of "bridesmaid suburbs," this episode is packed with local insights for first-home buyers and seasoned investors alike.
Key Takeaways for 2026:
Market Sentiment: Despite high growth, buyer fatigue is real, especially for sub-$1M properties where stock is incredibly tight.
Suburbs to Watch: Double View has seen significant growth (approx. 12.8%), while Kinross still offers strong buying opportunities.
The Strategy: Look at peripheral "bridesmaid" suburbs (like Joondanna or Padbury) where buyers can be more competitive than in high-demand hubs like North Perth or Hillarys.
