Perth Suburbs with Highest Growth in 2025 – What Buyers & Sellers Need to Know

In Perth’s real-estate market, the pace of change is rapid. For sellers, that means opportunity. For buyers, that means smart timing and targeted suburb selection. Whether you’re stepping into the market or looking to sell, understanding which suburbs are leading growth gives you an edge.

What’s driving the growth?

Several factors are combining to power suburb-level growth across Perth:

• A shortage of listings: With supply under pressure, properties priced right are selling quickly. In many suburbs, days-on-market have dropped noticeably. McKinley Plowman+1

• Strong buyer demand: Perth benefits from interstate migration, relatively better affordability compared with the east coast, and lifestyle appeal. Property NXT+1

• Infrastructure and amenity upgrades: Areas with transport links, new schools, or development activity are seeing above-average growth. Savings.com.au+1

• Rising median values: Some suburbs are already well into the “million-dollar club,” reflecting strong capital growth. Smart Property Investment+1

Because of this, both buyers and sellers must adjust their strategies: sellers to capitalise, buyers to act smart.

Suburbs to Watch in 2025

Here are some standout suburbs where growth is most evident, drawn from the latest reports:

• Balga (North of Perth): This suburb is showing annual house price growth of circa 28% with a median house price around $620,000. Herron Todd White For buyers, this means entry into a suburb with strong upside. For sellers, it means your home may be worth more than you think.

• Harrisdale (Southern corridor): Reported about 20% boost in median house price (to ~$850,000). Herron Todd White This suburb is attractive to families and upsizers – good signal for sellers, clear opportunity for buyers.

• Redcliffe (Near airport) : Median house price ~ $710,000 and showing more than 28% growth in the last 12 months. The improved transport links are a strong draw. Savings.com.au

• Cottesloe (Coastal, premium): A unit-market leader with annual growth near ~50% in some reports. Bamboo Routes While this is premium territory, the takeaway is clear: lifestyle suburbs are still performing strongly.

• Baldivis (South corridor): Forecast growth of 8-10% in 2025 with a predicted median ~$700,000. Plunkett Homes A good pick for buyers looking for value with growth potential; for sellers, it means even mainstream suburbs are rising.

What this means for sellers

• Price confidently: If your suburb is one of the growth-leaders, you have room to secure a strong listing price. Use recent growth data (20-30%+, depending on suburb) to show clients why now is the time to sell.

• Position urgency: Growth means competition is fierce. Emphasise scarcity (“listings low, demand high”) in marketing copy.

• Highlight the suburb story: For example, “In Balga, median house price up ~28% in last 12 months” helps buyers (and potential sellers) understand value.

• Target the right buyer profile: In premium suburbs (Cottesloe, Harrisdale) emphasise lifestyle/upsize buyers; in growth corridors (Baldivis, Redcliffe) focus on first-home, families, value-seekers.

• Prepare the home for market: With fast-moving markets and strong buyer interest, presentation is key. Good photography, staging, and inspection readiness will maximise results.

What this means for buyers

• Act quickly: If you’re chasing growth suburbs, you may face competition and rising prices. Properties in hot suburbs may move fast.

• Identify value pockets: Growth doesn’t only occur in premium suburbs. Suburbs like Baldivis or Balga show that value + growth is possible.

• Be clear on budget and criteria: With high growth momentum, you might need to adjust expectations (block size, house condition) to secure property.

• Check infrastructure and future upside: Suburbs with transport links, schools, new estates are more likely to deliver growth.

• For investors and home-buyers alike: While investors focus on yield and capital growth, owner-occupiers should focus on liveability, future resale value and suburb trajectory.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re helping a seller maximise their return or guiding a buyer into a suburb with growth potential, the message is consistent: the Perth market in 2025 is strong, selective, and moving fast. Some suburbs are clearly outperforming — and both sides of the market can benefit by understanding which suburbs, why they’re growing, and how to act.

For sellers: don’t wait too long — the opportunity is here. For buyers: take advantage of growth-corridor suburbs, and be ready. For you — as a Perth-based selling agent, your role is strategic: you’re not just listing properties, you’re interpreting suburb growth, matching buyer and seller needs and deploying data-driven marketing.
