Scarborough Sunset Markets Are Back for Another Season
As the warmer months roll on, one of Perth’s most iconic coastal events returns — the Scarborough Sunset Markets are back, bringing food, music and community energy to the beachfront. Held on Thursday evenings throughout the summer season, the markets transform the Scarborough foreshore into a vibrant meeting place where locals and visitors gather to enjoy the ocean views, golden sunsets and relaxed coastal atmosphere. A Beachside Experience Running from 5pm to 9pm, the markets offer a diverse mix of food vendors, artisan stalls and live entertainment. With more than 60 food trucks and traders regularly featured, there’s something to suit every taste — from international street food to local favourites and sweet treats. The beachfront setting adds to the appeal. Families spread out picnic rugs on the grass, friends catch up over dinner, and visitors take in the unmistakable Perth sunset over the Indian Ocean. More Than Just Food Beyond the culinary offerings, the markets showcase local makers and small businesses selling jewellery, clothing, homewares and handmade goods. It’s an opportunity to support local creatives while enjoying a relaxed evening by the coast. Live acoustic performances help create the laid-back atmosphere the markets are known for, with the Scarborough Amphitheatre often becoming a space for people to unwind and enjoy the evening together. A Summer Highlight For many, the Scarborough Sunset Markets have become a weekly ritual during summer — a chance to slow down, connect with community and make the most of Perth’s coastal lifestyle. Events like these continue to highlight the lifestyle appeal of Perth’s beachside suburbs, combining natural beauty with vibrant community experiences....
Rental Prices Rise in January as Supply Remains Tight
After a year of relatively modest growth, Perth’s rental market recorded a noticeable lift in January, reflecting ongoing pressure across both the leasing and sales sectors. The median dwelling rent increased to $720 per week, up 2.9 per cent over the month and 7.5 per cent higher than the same time last year. Breaking this down further: Houses reached a median weekly rent of $725, rising 3.6 per cent for the month and 6.6 per cent year-on-year. Units rose to a median of $690 per week, up 1.5 per cent over the month and 6.2 per cent annually. While seasonal shifts in January are common — particularly as families secure homes before the new school year — the data also highlights the ongoing imbalance between supply and demand. Rental Supply Still Recovering WA’s rental market has been under pressure for several years following a significant reduction in investor-owned stock after the end of COVID-era rental protections. Modelling suggests nearly 20,000 rental properties were removed from the market during that period. Although rental conditions have shown some improvement over the past 18 months, driven largely by increased supply, vacancy rates remain tight and demand continues to be supported by strong population growth and constrained housing construction. At the end of January, there were 2,087 properties listed for rent across Perth — higher than December, but slightly below the same time last year. Homes leased in a median of 17 days, indicating continued strong competition. Suburbs recording notable rent increases in January included Bayswater, Scarborough, Southern River and High Wycombe for houses, while Maylands, East Perth and Scarborough led growth in the unit market. Sales Market Also Reaches New Highs The sales market continues to show upward momentum. Perth’s median house sale price reached a new record of $855,000 in January, up 1.8 per cent over the month and 13.2 per cent higher than a year ago. The median unit sale price also climbed to a record $600,000, rising 1.7 per cent for the month and 17.6 per cent annually. Despite a recent interest rate increase, market conditions remain driven by low supply and steady demand. Active listings rose to 2,444 in January — higher than December’s record low — but still significantly below levels seen a year ago. Homes continue to sell quickly, with houses spending a median of nine days on the market and units eight days, both considerably faster than this time last year. What This Means for Owners and Tenants The January figures reinforce that Perth’s housing market — across both rental and sales sectors — remains constrained by limited supply. For property owners, strong leasing demand and firm sale prices may present opportunities to review strategy or equity positions. For tenants and buyers, competition remains elevated, making preparation and informed decision-making more important than ever. As we move further into the year, market activity will likely remain sensitive to supply levels, new listings and broader economic conditions — but for now, demand continues to outweigh available stock....
Perth’s Million-Dollar Club Expands to 126 Suburbs
Perth’s property market reached another milestone in 2025, with 126 suburbs now recording a median house sale price of $1 million or more. An additional 32 suburbs joined the so-called “million-dollar club” over the past year — 30 of them new entrants — reflecting the strength and breadth of price growth across Greater Perth. Northbridge and Wattleup also returned to the list after previously dropping below the threshold. The expansion follows another year of strong growth, with Greater Perth’s median house sale price rising 13.3 per cent in 2025. This builds on the significant 25 per cent increase recorded in 2024, when a record 37 suburbs entered the million-dollar bracket. If price growth continues at the expected pace, the number of million-dollar suburbs could reach 150 by the end of 2026. Strong Growth Across a Broad Range of Suburbs Among the new entrants, Samson recorded the strongest annual growth, with its median house price rising 40.5 per cent to $1.25 million. Brentwood followed with 37.1 per cent growth, while Serpentine, Roleystone and Maylands also posted notable increases. The list of million-dollar suburbs now stretches well beyond Perth’s traditional premium coastal and riverside locations, highlighting how sustained demand and limited supply have pushed values higher across a wide range of areas. Perth’s Most Expensive Suburbs Peppermint Grove retained its position as Perth’s most expensive suburb, with a median house sale price of $5.1 million at the end of 2025. Other high-performing suburbs include: Dalkeith – $3.51 million City Beach – $3.23 million Cottesloe – $3.15 million Applecross – $2.8 million Swanbourne – $2.68 million Watermans Bay – $2.62 million Mosman Park – $2.62 million Trigg – $2.38 million A number of well-established inner-city and lifestyle suburbs also feature prominently, including Mount Lawley ($1.68 million), Subiaco ($2.07 million), Mount Hawthorn ($1.69 million) and Inglewood ($1.42 million). Some Suburbs Exit the List While most movement has been upward, six suburbs fell out of the million-dollar club during 2025. In some cases, this reflected a softening in median sale price, while others had no qualifying sales recorded during the year. What This Means for Homeowners and Buyers The growth in million-dollar suburbs reflects more than just headline figures — it signals how broadly price growth has spread across Perth. For homeowners, it may be an opportunity to reassess equity and long-term plans. For buyers, it reinforces the importance of understanding local market conditions and acting decisively in competitive areas. As Perth continues to evolve, the widening reach of the million-dollar median highlights the city’s ongoing appeal — and the need for informed, strategic decision-making in the year ahead....
Your Start-of-Year Property Checklist
The start of a new year is a great time to reset — and that includes your home. Whether you’re planning to sell, rent, renovate or simply stay put, a simple property check at the beginning of the year can help protect your asset, avoid costly surprises and set your property up for the months ahead. Here’s a practical start-of-year property checklist for homeowners. 1. Review Maintenance and Repairs Small issues left unattended can quickly turn into expensive problems. Start the year by checking: Roofs, gutters and downpipes for damage or blockages External walls, fences and gates for wear and tear Taps, toilets and irrigation systems for leaks Air-conditioning units before peak summer use Booking trades early in the year can often mean better availability before demand spikes. 2. Check Safety and Compliance Safety should always be a priority. Take time to: Test smoke alarms and replace batteries if needed Check pool fencing and gates are compliant and secure Review electrical safety, including outdoor power points Ensure paths and steps are safe and hazard-free For landlords, this is also a good time to review rental compliance requirements. 3. Review Insurance Coverage Your property’s value may have changed over the past year. Make sure your insurance reflects: Current rebuild costs Renovations or improvements made Adequate cover for contents or landlord insurance Underinsurance is more common than many homeowners realise, especially in rising markets. 4. Assess Your Property’s Market Position Even if you’re not planning to sell, it’s helpful to understand where your property sits in the current market. Has your property value changed? Are rental yields increasing in your area? Are there improvements that could add value? An updated market appraisal can help inform future decisions. 5. Plan Improvements Strategically If upgrades are on your radar this year, focus on improvements that enhance both lifestyle and value, such as: Painting or cosmetic updates Outdoor living upgrades Energy-efficient improvements Kitchen or bathroom refreshes Planning early allows you to budget properly and avoid rushed decisions later. 6. Organise Property Documents Start the year organised by reviewing: Title and settlement documents Warranties for appliances or renovations Council approvals or compliance paperwork Lease agreements (for investment properties) Having everything in one place saves time and stress down the track. A Smart Start Sets the Tone for the Year A little attention at the beginning of the year can go a long way in protecting and maximising your property. Whether you’re focused on maintenance, planning improvements or understanding your home’s market position, a start-of-year checklist is a simple step that delivers long-term benefits....
