Perth Annual Growth Hits 26%! Darwin +19.6%, Brisbane +19.7% — The 3 Cities Dominating Australia Right Now!
While Sydney and Melbourne cool down, three Australian cities are delivering extraordinary property returns in 2026. According to the latest Cotality May Home Value Index, Perth is now leading at +26.0% annually, followed closely by Brisbane at +19.7% and Darwin at +19.6% year-on-year. In a single month of April, Perth surged +2.1%, Darwin rose +1.3%, Brisbane gained +1.2%, and Adelaide climbed +1.1%. These markets are being driven by a powerful combination of tight housing supply, strong interstate migration, limited new construction, and robust employment.

Australian Rents Just Hit 5.7% Annual Growth — Renters Paying $38 MORE Per Week!
Australia's rental crisis is accelerating again in May 2026. According to the latest Cotality Home Value Index, national rents rose 0.6% in April alone — bringing annual rent growth to 5.7%, the fastest pace since October 2024. This translates to approximately $38 extra per week added to the national median rent. Every single capital city is recording a vacancy rate of 1.8% or lower — well below the healthy market benchmark of 2.5–3%. Darwin is leading rental growth with house rents up 8.8% and unit rents surging 9.8% year-on-year. National gross rental yields sit at 3.6%, with regional Australia offering even higher yields at 4.2%. For property investors, these numbers confirm one thing — rental demand is not slowing down.
