Want to Know What’s Really Happening in Your Suburb?
If you’re buying, selling, investing or just curious, understanding how your suburb is performing can give you real confidence in your next step.
The good news? You don’t need to be a data analyst to get started.
REIWA has a simple tool that gives you quick access to the key stats for suburbs across Western Australia. Whether you’re in Lesmurdie, High Wycombe, Glen Forrest, or somewhere else in the Perth Hills, this tool is worth a look.
REIWA’s Suburb Tool: What is it?
REIWA’s WA Market Insights tool lets you search by suburb and see up-to-date property trends. You can access it for free here:

It’s simple to use. Just type in a suburb name, hit search, and you’ll get a snapshot of what’s going on in the area.
What You’ll Learn from the Tool
The suburb profiles offer a helpful overview, including:
– Rental growth and weekly rent
– Information about shops, transport and local government
– Performance of nearby suburbs
– Sales growth (how much prices have increased)
– Median house prices
– Local population size
For example, a quick search of Glen Forrest shows a median house price of $988,000, rental growth of 15.3%, and sales growth of 9.5%. (Median price data last updated 18 December 2025, containing transactions for the 12 month period ending November 2025. Source: Landgate/REIWA). That’s useful info whether you’re selling now or planning ahead.
Why Data Alone Doesn’t Tell the Whole Story
While the stats are helpful, they don’t always explain the why behind the numbers.
That’s where local insight becomes incredibly valuable.
Maybe there’s a new café that’s brought more foot traffic to the area. Maybe a school has gained popularity, or a local park has just been upgraded. Maybe properties in a certain pocket are seeing higher interest, but it’s not reflected in the suburb-wide data… yet.
What Local Agents Can Add
As agents working in the Perth Hills every day, we see the nuance behind the numbers.
We know which properties are attracting multiple offers, what buyers are searching for this month, and how the local lifestyle is influencing demand.
We also understand the seasonal rhythms of life in the Hills—and how they affect buyer motivation and suburb movement.
Sometimes, the real value isn’t in a number, it’s in a conversation.
So What Should You Do Next?
