Each state’s top suburbs for price growth in 2023

Home prices nationally will have fully recovered from the 2022 downturn by the close of this year, while some suburbs have been revealed to have exceeded expectations and climbed in price by over 30 per cent, according to a new report from PropTrack.

Driven by a low supply of homes to buy or rent, Western Australian suburbs saw some of the highest average growth of the year, with Armadale and Brookdale, in Perth’s southeast, tied for the top spot, each recording 34 per cent price growth.
