Perth’s rental market is showing slight signs of easing, with the vacancy rate inching up in July.

The fast five:

  • Perth’s vacancy rate has been below 1 per cent since August 2022.
  • The rate hit a record low of 0.4 per cent in March 2024.
  • A balanced market typically has a vacancy rate between 2.5 and 3.5 per cent.
  • Rent prices are showing periods of stability.
  • Rental listings are increasing, albeit slowly.

What else you need to know:

The last time Perth’s vacancy rate was at a balanced 2.5 per cent was in September 2019.

Despite the slight increase, the current rate is still well below what’s considered balanced.

REIWA President Joe White says:

“This month’s figure is a move in the right direction, but it is still very low and vacancies are still filling quickly, particularly for properties in the more affordable price brackets.”
