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....
What Perth’s Million-Dollar Median Means for Buyers
Perth’s median house price has risen at more than twice the pace of average adult weekly earnings in Western Australia over the past decade, with experts warning affordability pressures are unlikely to ease anytime soon. New data highlights the strain facing buyers in Perth’s housing market, which ended 2025 with a median house price exceeding $1 million. While prices continue to climb, wages have failed to keep pace, widening the affordability gap. Property investment advisor Daniel McQuillan, managing director of Nu Wealth, cautioned against “quick fixes” such as government incentives, arguing they do little to address the structural causes of the housing crisis — and may even make affordability worse. According to Domain’s December Quarter House Price Report, the national housing market recorded price growth for the 12th consecutive quarter. Perth joined the “million-dollar club” after a 9.9 per cent rise in median house prices over the December quarter, with annual growth reaching 18.4 per cent — second only to Darwin among the capitals. Over the past decade, Perth’s median house price has increased by more than 70 per cent, rising from around $585,000 in 2015 to $1 million in 2025. Over the same period, average weekly full-time earnings in WA rose by just 27.3 per cent. “Overall, Perth house prices have grown around 2.5 times faster than average adult salaries in Western Australia,” Mr McQuillan said. He noted this trend was playing out nationally, driven by rising property taxes, shortages in building trades, population growth focused on major cities and increasing regulatory costs that continue to constrain supply. “Quick fixes such as first-home buyer incentives don’t address the underlying causes of the housing crisis,” he said. “In some cases, they can make the problem worse.” Domain chief of research and economics Dr Nicola Powell said the national market remained in an upswing, although growth was uneven. “Smaller capitals like Perth and Adelaide are leading house price growth, while buyers in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane are increasingly turning to units in search of value,” she said. While ABS data shows new home starts in WA rose by one-third over the September quarter compared with a year earlier, the state remains more than 3,300 homes short of its annual National Housing Accord target. Master Builders WA chief executive Matt Moran said meeting future demand would require sustained focus on supply-side solutions. “There is clearly demand for new homes, but builders can only deliver when we have the workforce, land availability and the right policy settings,” he said....

Bellcourt Market Overview
The Perth property market has started the year with steady momentum, reflecting ongoing confidence from buyers, sellers and investors alike. While conditions remain competitive, recent data from REIWA suggests the market is gradually shifting into a more balanced phase, with increased listings providing buyers with a little more choice than we saw throughout much of last year. Sales activity continues to hold firm across the metro area. House sales remain the dominant force, supported by consistent demand for family homes, while unit and land sales also show healthy levels of engagement. Compared to earlier in the season, transaction numbers indicate buyers are still active and willing to move quickly when the right property becomes available. One of the most noticeable changes in recent weeks has been the increase in listings. New house, unit and land listings have all lifted compared to a month ago, offering some relief after a prolonged period of tight supply. While overall stock levels are still lower than long-term averages, this rise in availability is giving buyers more options and slightly easing pressure in certain pockets of the market. In terms of prices, Perth’s median house price remains elevated following strong growth over the past year, while unit prices have continued to gain traction as buyers seek more affordable alternatives to detached housing. The unit market, in particular, has benefited from increased interest in inner-city and lifestyle locations, as well as renewed confidence from investors. The rental market remains competitive, although there are early signs of improvement in availability. Median rents for both houses and units remain high, underpinned by strong tenant demand and limited supply. However, a modest increase in rental listings compared to late last year may begin to ease pressure slightly for tenants, particularly in areas where new stock is coming online. Search data highlights a growing shift in buyer and tenant behaviour. Perth City has emerged as one of the most searched locations for both sales and rentals, reflecting changing preferences toward convenience, walkability and access to employment and entertainment hubs. This trend also points to affordability constraints, with many buyers adjusting their expectations and exploring units or townhouses instead of standalone homes. Overall, the Perth metro market remains resilient. While price growth has moderated compared to the rapid pace seen previously, demand is still strong and well-located, well-priced properties continue to attract significant interest. For sellers, current conditions still offer a favourable environment, particularly in high-demand suburbs. For buyers, increasing stock levels may present more opportunities to secure the right property with less urgency than in months past. As we move further into the year, market conditions will continue to be shaped by supply levels, population growth and affordability pressures. Staying informed and seeking local advice remains key to making confident property decisions in Perth’s evolving market. Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, it’s a great time to review your options and make a move that suits your goals....
