If you are considering buying in Eglinton Village, understanding the local property market can help you make a more informed decision.
Steady growth in property values
Recent data shows that Eglinton has experienced strong price growth in recent years, reflecting increasing demand across Perth’s northern suburbs.
According to REIWA, the median house price in Eglinton currently sits at $790,000 with growth continuing to trend upward. Over the past 12 months, the suburb has seen an 11.8% uplift in median house price.
This consistent growth highlights the ongoing appeal of the suburb, particularly as more buyers look for value and lifestyle in Perth’s north.
Strong demand and quick sales
Buyer demand in Eglinton remains strong, with homes typically selling quickly once listed.
Recent data by REIWA shows properties are spending just 9 days on the market, reflecting a competitive environment where well-positioned homes are being secured quickly.
A growing and evolving community
The Alkimos-Eglinton area is one of Perth’s fastest growing regions with significant population growth in recent years as new communities continue to take shape. This growth is being driven by strong demand from buyers seeking a balance of lifestyle, affordability and future potential in the northern coastal corridor.
Ongoing investment in infrastructure, transport and local amenities is continuing to drive demand and shape Eglinton into a well-connected and liveable coastal suburb. As the area grows, new schools, shops and community facilities are continuing to open, helping to support the needs of a growing population. This includes projects such as the Eglinton Train Station, along with the upcoming Eglinton Village Shopping Centre, future schools and expanding public open spaces, all contributing to a suburb where residents can live, work and connect with ease.
As more amenities come to life and the community continues to grow, Eglinton is becoming an increasingly desirable choice for both homeowners and investors looking to be part of a developing coastal suburb with long-term appeal.
Major investment supporting long-term growth
Broader investment across Perth’s northern corridor is also helping strengthen Eglinton’s long-term appeal. In nearby Alkimos, major projects continue to take shape, including the Alkimos Aquatic and Recreation Centre, which is expected to open in November 2026, and Alkimos Central, where Costco was announced as an anchor tenant in October 2025.
Further south, the Ocean Reef Marina redevelopment is adding to the momentum across the coast, with a major waterfront precinct set to deliver new recreation, tourism and lifestyle amenity for Perth’s northern suburbs. Together, these investments reflect the scale of growth occurring across the corridor and reinforce why suburbs like Eglinton are attracting increasing attention from buyers looking for long-term potential.
