The Perth real estate market is cooling right now… but behind the scenes, a growing housing supply crisis could be setting up the next Perth property price surge.

In this episode of Perth Property Insider, I reveal what's REALLY driving the Perth property market in 2026, and why what you're seeing on the surface doesn't tell the full story.

From WA construction delays to rising interest rates and shifting buyer sentiment, this is the data you need to understand where Perth house prices, rents, and investment opportunities are heading next.

Key moments:

✅ How the housing shortage is actually affecting the Perth property market
✅ Buyer sentiment cooling… is this a sign of a potential market collapse?

✅ What’s actually driving buyer behaviour across Perth suburbs
✅ How a Perth buying window may be opening due to reduced competition
✅ Why sellers may benefit from listing NOW

Listen now to find out where Perth property is really heading, and how to position yourself before the next shift.
