## Resource

On the Perth Property Show, Trent Fleskens and Brendon Ptolomey provide a WA regional market update based on HTW travel and valuation work across the state. Kalgoorlie remains strong with local and investor demand, resilient values despite new supply, and support from gold and lithium. Albany/Denmark are undersupplied, with short-stay returns and lifestyle migration keeping pressure on rentals and prices amid construction constraints. Dunsborough’s $2–$4m holiday segment is still healthy but less frenetic, driven by Perth wealth, with no signs of forced selling. Bunbury remains a value alternative to Perth, with typical prices around $500k in Withers and $600k–$700k in Carey Park. Geraldton is active off a low base, underpinned by tight rentals. Karratha shows urgency, strong rents and record sales amid iron ore strength, while Port Hedland has high turnover but minimal value growth. In Broome, demand favours smaller modern low-maintenance homes, and it’s noted as the shakier market.
