Most Wanted Property Type

















Top Keyword Searches


Perth home buyers are after something a little different – a shed. It is one of only two capitals where “shed” ranks among the top search keywords, the other being Darwin.


A workshop is also highly prioritised; it’s the only city where this term appears in the top 10 keywords.


Searches for “view”, “waterfront”, and “beach” have all risen through the rankings, showcasing a stronger focus on lifestyle and scenic living.


Conversely, “new” has dropped significantly in popularity, falling to 17th from fourth place last year, possibly indicating a shift away from turnkey home preferences and high construction costs.


Searches for “garage” have declined sharply this year, suggesting a reduced emphasis on practical storage and parking needs. The search for lifestyle and more affordable pastures remains strong.


A significant 46% of regional WA enquiries come from Perth residents, while only 4% are looking at a move to Perth. While most home hunters across WA come from within the state (89%), some set their sights on NSW (4%) and Queensland (3%).
