Find the top real estate agents in South West WA

The South West region of Western Australia is a mixed coastal and hinterland region where a tourism strip around Margaret River and Busselton sits alongside established service towns such as Bunbury and quieter timber and dairy communities inland. Sellers here are marketing to a broad mix of buyers: lifestyle and sea-change seekers looking for vineyard and surfside living, families trading for more space, and local workers in health, education and agriculture seeking practical homes close to services. Median prices have been running hot, up 15.8% on the year to $820,000, the highest level in five years, though the pace may not be sustained. Sellers should tailor marketing to likely buyers, highlighting coastal holiday potential or proximity to local services.

A rebound in visitor activity has revived holiday-home interest in Margaret River and Busselton, and the planned expansion of Busselton Regional Airport underpins longer term demand for short-stay properties.

Auctions are clearing at 64% over the past year⁽¹⁾, and the median is 1.2% above the prior peak set in August 2026. At the same time, Collie is shifting away from traditional energy industries toward new local services and renewables, which is changing local employment patterns.
