Perth Leads Investor Returns Into 2026 — What Brokers Should Prioritise Now

API Magazine’s latest coverage highlights that Perth remains a standout for price growth and investor momentum into 2026, off the back of constrained listings, strong rental yields, and ongoing interstate migration. For brokers, the message is simple: prioritise structure, servicing, and speed to help clients capture opportunities before stock tightens further.

What’s driving Perth’s outperformance

• Supply constraints continue to anchor days-on-market and support price resilience.
• Rental yields remain elevated relative to other capitals, drawing yield-focused investors.
• Migration & employment trends underpin demand in select corridors and sub‑markets.

Implications for brokers (LoanOne playbook)

• Structure first: keep borrowing entities clean (holdco + guarantees) and map securities up‑front to avoid credit resets.
• Service clearly: evidence NDI/DSCR, rental quality and lease terms; where policy permits, leverage Alt Doc pathways (BAS, Accountant’s Letter).
• Choose fit‑for‑purpose products: consider LoanOne Commercial (C02) for flexibility (up to 80% LVR, loans to $3M, offset available) and short‑term options where timing is critical.
