The first quarter of 2025 revealed a stable yet shifting landscape in buyer enquiries across Western Australia. While longstanding top performers like Ocean Reef and Baldivis continued to attract attention, new growth indicators have begun emerging in outer suburban and semi-rural locations driven by affordability, lifestyle appeal, and regional investment.

Ocean Reef retained its stronghold as the most enquired suburb across both quarters, buoyed by consistent demand and its coastal lifestyle appeal. Baldivis also continued to draw considerable interest, with a notable resurgence in March pushing it firmly back into the top tier.
New entrant Anketell made a remarkable leap this quarter. Benefiting from its proximity to major transport routes and expanding residential estates, Anketell's sharp rise in March signals a potential longer-term trend.
Southern River and Henley Brook posted steady performances, while Darling Downs showed renewed strength, likely driven by its blend of acreage living and suburban convenience. Meanwhile, Lancelin, traditionally quieter in terms of volume, saw increased activity that could reflect growing interest in holiday-home or coastal investment markets.

Some suburbs that previously ranked highly like Midvale and Piara Waters dropped off the Q1 leaderboard, but may return as development momentum shifts or new releases become available. As Q2 unfolds, we expect continued interest in lifestyle-rich suburbs outside the metro core, particularly where infrastructure and land availability support sustainable growth.
