Perth housing sales have surged to their highest level since the city s last property boom seven years ago, partly due to a tightening of supply and buyers flocking to the COVID-19 safe haven of Western Australia.
Key points:
There was a 29 per cent increase on the same period last year
Analysts say sales activity could heat up even further in 2021
In the three months to November, established home sales in Perth were 29 per cent higher than in the same period last year, according to data from the Real Estate Institute of WA (REIWA).

New funding for training materials supports LNG jobs
APPEA welcomes new funding by the WA Government to deliver the learning materials needed to ensure training of operators for liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants is recognised industry-wide.
APPEA WA Director Claire Wilkinson said the funding, outlined in the State’s 2020-21 Government Mid-year Financial Projections Statement, will ensure operators are taught in a consistent manner across training providers.
“With the bulk of Australia’s LNG plants and production located in Western Australia, it’s great to see the WA Government back our industry by supporting the training of local workers in these critical skillsets,” Ms Wilkinson said.
