Did you know that economists are predicting Perth housing prices to jump by 12% in 2021? This prediction will see the Perth property market outperform all Australian capital cities this year, with a predicted $48,000 to be added to Perth median house prices.
This forecast is expected to be the only double-digit growth figure. Perth’s next closest rival capital city is Brisbane, with a predicted increase of 9.5%.
Having said that, the Real Estate Institute of Western Australia is being more cautious with their predictions. REIWA believes Perth will see growth of 6-10% in 2021.
