Investor ranking · WA
The best rental yield suburbs in Western Australia.
Suburbs with the highest gross rental yields, calculated from median price and weekly rent. Filtered to Western Australia suburbs only.
About this ranking
Gross rental yield is rent income as a percentage of property value, the headline cashflow metric for an investment property. Higher yield generally means stronger near-term cashflow but often correlates with lower capital growth, so this ranking is a starting point for cashflow-focused investors rather than long-term wealth-building.
Western Australia property market in 2026
Western Australia has been the most explosive market of the last four years, with Perth median house prices roughly doubling between 2020 and 2025. The combination of mining-sector wages, internal migration, and historically tight supply created a genuine boom. As 2026 unfolds, the pace is moderating but not reversing, rental vacancies remain near 1%, and supply additions are well below population-driven demand. Regional WA (Geraldton, Bunbury, Kalgoorlie) has tracked Perth with a lag.

Common questions
About this ranking.
What's a 'good' rental yield in Australia in 2026?
Capital city houses typically yield 2.5% to 4%, units 4% to 5.5%. Regional houses can yield 5% to 7%+. The 'good' threshold depends on holding costs (council rates, body corporate, insurance, management fees). Net yield after these costs is usually 1% to 1.5% lower than gross.
Does high yield always mean weak growth?
Not always but often. High-yield markets typically have lower price-to-rent ratios because growth expectations are lower. The exceptions are markets in early growth cycles (yield is high because prices haven't run yet) and structurally constrained regional centres (yield is high because supply is tight even with modest population).
How do I calculate net yield?
Take gross rent, subtract council rates, body corporate, insurance, property management fees (8-12%), maintenance allowance (1-1.5% of property value), and assumed vacancy (2-4 weeks per year). The remainder divided by property value is net yield. Most properties show net yield 1-1.5 percentage points below gross.
