Broome Market Update 1st Half 2026

In Q4 2025,Broome* recorded a median house price of $812,000,and a median unit price of $470,000.This represents anannual (Q4 2024 – Q4 2025)median price growth forhouses at 3.8%and 9.3%for units. Total sales decreased between Q4 2024 – Q4 2025,by -46.3% (to 43for houses in Q4 2025) and by -52.0% for units (to 12 sales in Q4 2025). Price growth alongside less sales suggests an undersupply in the market, for houses and units. This creates an opportunity for owners, to capitalise ontheir investments. For buyers, with almost no new stock in the pipeline, now is an ideal time toact; before there is further price growth. 33 $812K $470K

Broome will see approximately$99.6M ofnewprojectsduetocommence constructionbetween2025and2027.

The 154 Frederick Street Health & Wellness & Childcare Centre ($6.1M) and Sanctuary Village and Over 55 Village mixed use developments are planned in Broome. This will provide more amenities toresidents and create new local jobs in the pre and post construction phases.

There are several key infrastructure projects planned for construction in 2025and 2027,including the Broome Boating Facility, Port of Broome Cruise Terminal, Frederick Street Broome Recreation and Aquatic Centre Roundabout, and Kimberley District Support Facility. These will improve liveability for current residents.

There is almost noresidential projects commencing between 2025and 2027, which suggests a reliance on previous project builds and current stock.

With a market undersupply already in place, the absence of significant new stock suggests this will remain. The potential for higher house prices is very likely, having a multiplier effect on other property types.

AVERAGE VENDOR DISCOUNT*

The market favours sellers; where buyers must offer higher thanthe initial listing price. This creates an ideal opportunity forowners. With a significant and continuing undersupply seen across the Broome* market buyers must act fast, before current premiums climb even higher.
