"It is very likely WA’s COVID-safe reputation has now positioned us as a global brand, attracting further interest in what was already one of the world’s most liveable cities. Strong demand will come from our nearby timezone-sharing neighbours, who will no doubt see Perth and WA as the superior option to other states and countries."

Ronnie Michel-Elhaj, Nicheliving Managing Director

"Demand is expected to remain strong this year given the lift in interstate and overseas migration. Other positive factors that point to continued strength in the WA property market include record-low interest rates, low unemployment, strong economic indicators and the opportunity to attract investors back into the market aft er a hiatus due to border closures."

Tanya Steinbeck, UDIA WA CEO

"Western Australia’s strong property market conditions are expected to continue, with REIWA estimating Perth house prices will rise a further 10 per cent this year. Th is follows approximately 14 per cent price growth last year. Despite the strong growth, WA is still the most affordable state in the country for housing, with prices in most regions yet to reach their 2014-15 peaks."

Damian Collins, REIWA President

"Building activity across Perth remains extremely busy due to the successful State and Federal Government stimulus measures. Th e demand created through these programs, along with infrastructure work, has built a strong pipeline of work well into 2022."
