From Perth pools to Tokyo towers: Perth’s median house price across the globe 

Perth’s median house sale price hit $800,000 in August 2025. It sounds like a lot, but what does that really get you? In Perth, it might mean a big family home with room for a pool, or a sleek apartment close to the coast.

But take that same budget overseas and the options look very different. In London you’ll be trading space for the Thames on your doorstep. In Tokyo, it’s a compact high-rise near Shibuya Crossing. Or maybe it’s a villa in Greece with mountain views and a private pool.

All of these properties are currently on the market at the time of publishing – and they show just how far (or not so far) your money can stretch depending on the lifestyle you want to live.
