Perth vs Melbourne: Market Moves, Buyer Fatigue & Where to Next?
🎧 Episode Summary:
Back by popular demand, Scott Townsend joins us for a timely catch-up almost exactly a year since his last appearance. We unpack what’s changed, and what hasn’t in the Perth property market, including stock levels, buyer sentiment, and the return of East Coast investor interest.
We also explore how Perth stacks up against Melbourne in today’s market and what buyers need to consider when choosing between the two. Whether you're navigating a tight budget, chasing yield, or thinking long-term capital growth.
This one’s packed with insight.
đź’ˇ Key Takeaways:
âś… Perth listings are at historic lowsju - just 3545 total, including only 2099 houses
âś… Winter stock drop + consistent weekly sales = tight conditions remain
âś… East Coast buyers and agents are circling Perth again - why now?
âś… Buyer fatigue is real, but so is pent-up demand
âś… Melbourne offers bargains and long-term upside - but with higher holding costs
âś… Townhouses are rising in appeal across both cities
✅ Why not all units are equal—and where they can work
âś… The one question every investor must ask: "What fits my objectives?"
🏡 Perth vs Melbourne Deep Dive:
We break down cost-to-hold, price growth outlook, and buyer profile for both markets, and why your next move should depend more on you than the headlines.
🛠️ Tip of the Episode:
Buying below replacement cost, especially in landlocked quality suburbs is a smart play in both cities.
