*Filtered for suburbs with more than three houses under 1 HA sold during the 2022-23 financial year.

Barfield Road, Hammond Park

Approximately 30 minutes South of the CBD, Barfield Road took the crown as Perth’s most active street with a remarkable 33 house sales during the 2022-23 financial year. Hammond Park has witnessed significant development in recent years, with REIWA members suggesting first home buyers and young families call Barfield Road home due to its relative affordability and proximity to the city.

“As older generations downsize and move onto different areas, the street has been redeveloped to suit the needs of the next generation. Homes on this street offer realistic opportunities for first home buyers to enter the market, so when properties come up here, buyers jump on them”, one local REIWA member said.

Peelwood Parade, Halls Head

Nestled in Perth’s southern corridor, Peelwood Parade emerged as another standout with 31 sales in the previous financial year. The street has seen an increase in activity in line with the local market, according to one REIWA member, who mentioned it is popular with families due to its proximity to the beach and nearby Mandurah. Peelwood Parade is home to a range of character homes, as well as newer modern designs.
