Solid growth fundamentals are awaiting Western Australia's real estate market next year as its economy continues to improve, according to the latest analysis by the Real Estate Institute of Western Australia ( REIWA).
Market conditions this year have been quite mixed – sales activity has fluctuated while rental affordability has gradually improved, said REIWA President Damian Collins.
However, it is very likely that rising consumption levels, improved housing affordability, population growth and low interest rates translate into higher volumes. higher sales.
"The full impact of the rate cuts and tax reforms put in place in 2019 has not yet made its way up to WA." However, it is expected that the beginning these initiatives will be done later in 2020, "said Collins.
This could also lead to an increase in the median price of Perth dwellings over the next twelve months. However, the uptrend may not be uniform across all market sectors.

With regard to the rental market, the upward trajectory is expected to continue throughout next year, supported by strong population growth and reduced housing supply.
According to Collins, the Perth rental market led the way in 2019, with stable median rents, reasonable rental activity levels, declining listings and a free fall vacancy rate which currently stands at 2.3%.
In fact, Perth's overall median rental price has been maintained at $ 350 per week since April 2017 – the longest period of stability that it has experienced since 2001.
"We are at 32 months and we are counting on stable median rental prices in Perth If listings continue to decline, the stock of new construction continues to decline and rental volumes remain healthy, we should see the price overall median rental increase gradually ". he said.
And while Perth has the median value of the lowest house among capitals, strengthening rental conditions offers investors the opportunity to earn a lot.
"We are already seeing competition for good quality actions, which means we can expect it to pick up early next year and continue to gain ground later in 2020" said Collins.
In regional markets, conditions should also improve given the revival of the mining sector.
Karratha is an ideal example – he has already experienced an increase in rental demand and sales activity during the latter part of the year.
"In addition to Karratha, Port Hedland and Kalgoorlie are areas to monitor in 2020, with new mining projects contributing greatly to rebuilding trust in these areas, which should create thousands of new local jobs, which should continue to support population growth, improve housing demand and recover the aid, "Collins said.
The state government's push for tourism also boosts a positive outlook for the regional suburbs.
"After a prolonged period of turbulent conditions following the downturn in the mining sector, the AO market appears to be stabilizing," Collins said.
However, one should not expect a quick recovery over the next year, even if the worst seems to be over, Collins said.
