Perth presents some great opportunities for property investors, where rental vacancy rates continue to sit at exceptionally low levels. According to REIWA research vacancy rates for Perth properties currently sit at 0.8%. Typically a vacancy rate of between 2.5 and 3.5% represents a balanced market. The median rent for residential property in Perth is $480 per week, which has risen over $100 in two years.

Perth is a city of growing social and economic opportunity. The Future of Perth report published in 2020 highlights the city’s many advantages, from its diversifying economy to its cosmopolitan livability, and more recent data continues to reinforce Perth’s investment opportunity.

How do I select the best area to invest in property?

Choosing the best area to invest in property in Perth will depend on a number of factors. The team of buyers agents at Capital Property Advisory offer some general advice to help you choose the best area to buy an investment property in Perth.

Have a clear investment strategy

Whether you are looking for capital growth potential or a property that benefits from strong rental yields will have a large impact on your choice of investment.

If the goal of your investment property is to earn a strong rental income, for example, you might want to select areas that tenants favour and with low vacancy rates. Likewise buying an older property will likely come with more associated maintenance costs, requiring a bigger initial investment to achieve the best possible rental income.

Invest in an area you know

This is one of the areas where engaging a buyer’s agent can be very helpful – whether you’re a local or interstate real estate investor. It is really important to understand what will make your investment property stand out and achieve the results you seek.
