Melville

FairSquare analyses every Australian suburb for property investors — score, yield, risk and a full investment verdict.

Melville, just 10km from the Perth CBD, presents a compelling workhorse investment marked by critically low supply and a 0.7% vacancy rate, driving strong tenant demand and $1050 weekly rents. This structural undersupply supports both reliable income generation and impressive 12% capital growth achieved over the last twelve months. The market has started re-rating this location — 12-month growth of +12.0% puts it ahead of the broader Western Australia median. Constrained supply means downward price pressure is structurally limited.
