Perth has been the standout performer in Australian residential property for the past two years. Annual house price growth exceeding 24 percent, the strongest of any Australian capital city, driven by resource-sector employment, exceptional population growth, and a supply base that has chronically underperformed demand, has created a market where long-term property owners have seen their equity compound at a pace that has surprised even the most optimistic analysts.

KPMG forecasts Perth house prices to rise a further 12.8 percent in 2026, the most bullish major-bank forecast for any Australian capital. Even more conservative analysts have Perth among the top performers. The structural drivers are durable: resources, migration, and supply constraints do not reverse quickly. For Perth property owners: long-term residents, investors, and the large resource-sector expatriate cohort, the equity opportunity has never been larger.
Perth's Equity Hotspots
The western suburbs corridor: Cottesloe, Peppermint Grove, Dalkeith, Nedlands, Claremont, represents Perth's most prestigious residential addresses. Properties here have appreciated dramatically. Cottesloe's median house price now exceeds AUD 3 million. Peppermint Grove, consistently among Australia's most expensive suburbs by median price, has seen individual property values reach AUD 10 million and above.
The northern suburbs: Scarborough, Trigg, Wembley Downs, have attracted strong demand from families and younger buyers priced out of the western corridor, creating their own appreciation cycle. The southern suburbs, including Applecross and Mt Pleasant on the river, have similarly outperformed expectations.
Resource-sector suburbs, areas popular with FIFO workers and resource executives, have also performed strongly, driven by elevated resources-sector salaries and the relative affordability of Perth compared to east coast capitals at the start of the current cycle.
The Perth Resource Sector Expat
Perth has a distinctive borrower profile: the resource-sector expatriate. Engineers, geologists, project managers, and executives who have left Perth to work on resource projects in Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, or elsewhere in Australia frequently maintain Perth property as their home base. Their foreign or project income is substantial. Their Perth property has compounded significantly during their absence. And their ability to access that equity through Australian banks is severely constrained by the same foreign income shading problem that affects expatriates everywhere.
GMG's Perth equity release facilities are designed precisely for this borrower. Asset-based underwriting, no income shading, and a cross-border team that understands the resource sector employment structure make GMG the natural partner for Perth's resource expat community.
"Perth has moved from Australia's affordable capital to one of its fastest-appreciating markets in a remarkably short period. The owners who held through the quieter years are now sitting on equity positions that deserve to be put to work." — Donald Klip, Co-Founder and CIO, Global Mortgage Group
