Rising demand for Perth rental properties
The demand for quality rental properties in Perth is predicted to continue to rise in 2024 due to factors such as population growth, employment, and lifestyle preferences. Property owners looking to keep up with this demand must ensure their rental properties are well-maintained and ready for tenants to move straight in as gone are the days of properties sitting vacant in between tenancies.
The last Corelogic report has shown that the median weekly rent in Perth has skyrocketed to $630 a week which is only behind Canberra by $20 and Sydney by $115. This increases demand for suburbs where rents are traditionally more affordable and has led to more competition when rentals in these areas become available.
Understanding the rental price trends in Perth is crucial for both property owners and tenants. Our property management team utilises comprehensive market analyses to determine optimal rental rates, ensuring that properties are priced competitively to attract quality tenants while maximising returns for owners.
Armadale: a fast-rising Perth suburb to invest in
Perth’s real estate market is continually growing, with new suburbs gaining popularity. A great example of this is Armadale, which was once considered an undesirable area to live now being one of the top investment suburb recommendations. Our property managers closely monitor these trends, understand the Perth rental market, and which suburbs tenants are looking for.
