BUNBURY PROPERTY MARKET SNAPSHOT – JANUARY 2026

Bunbury continues to be one of Western Australia’s most dynamic regional markets, drawing attention from lifestyle buyers, investors, and sea-change seekers alike. Below, we break down the latest trends in prices, inventory, and selling pace to give you a clear picture of what’s happening on the ground.

Median Prices – Houses & Units

Recent market data shows strong ongoing price performance in Bunbury:

Median house price is around $950,000 for the past year — a notable rise with approximately 17.7% annual growth.

Units are also performing well, with a median price around $574,000 and higher annual growth (27.6%) vs houses.

While different data sources vary slightly, the overall theme is solid price gains across most property types — a positive sign for sellers and long-term investors.

Note: Smaller reports sometimes suggest slightly lower figures (e.g., ~$706,500 median house price), reflecting differences in timing, data providers, and rolling periods.

Inventory Levels – Choice on the Market

Current listings in Bunbury remain relatively limited compared to demand:

Around 22 houses and 13 units available for sale in the most recent monthly snapshot.

Lower inventory levels typically mean less choice for buyers, which can sustain competitive conditions — especially for well-presented or attractively priced properties.

High buyer interest is evident, with hundreds of potential parties reported searching in the area.

Days on Market – How Quickly Properties Sell

Speed of sale is a key gauge of market heat:

For houses in Bunbury, the median days on market sits around 60–65 days in the latest data.

Units are selling in roughly 55–60 days on average.

These timelines indicate that while Bunbury remains attractive to buyers, properties aren’t flying off the shelf as quickly as in some smaller regional hotspots — suggesting a steady, balanced market where buyers can still take time to inspect and assess.

Comparatively, historic figures showed much quicker turnover (e.g., ~34 days for houses) in past 12-month periods, reflecting how conditions can shift over time.

What This Means for Buyers & Sellers

For Buyers:
✔ Price growth remains healthy — but competitive pricing and quality presentation still matter to stand out.
✔ Limited inventory means strong buyers often need to act with confidence.

For Sellers:
✔ Good pricing strategy and home presentation can keep properties moving at or above market rates.
✔ Despite slightly longer average days on market compared to earlier in the year, Bunbury still favours well-positioned listings.

Looking Ahead

Bunbury’s appeal continues to be buoyed by lifestyle attractions, coastal living, and relative affordability compared with major WA centres. While the market has moderated from more frenzied conditions, steady growth and strong buyer interest remain in place. As regional WA housing trends evolve in 2026, Bunbury is one to watch for both investor and owner-occupier buyers alike.
