RBA raises rates - what does that mean for WA?

The RBA’s rate rise may slow some buyers down, but it’s unlikely to take the heat out of the WA market overnight.

Perth is still being supported by relative affordability, steady demand and tight housing supply which means WA may continue to hold up better than some of the eastern states, even in a higher-rate environment. It also reinforces why affordable housing remains such an important part of the conversation here in WA.
