FairSquare analyses every Australian suburb for property investors — score, yield, risk and a full investment verdict.
FairSquare's model rates Scarborough, Western Australia 7.0 out of 10 (Steady Buy) as of May 2026.
Scarborough offers a compelling investment proposition, capitalising on its highly desirable coastal position just 14km from the CBD which attracts a strong tenant demographic willing to pay a premium. Exceptionally low supply and a 0.7% vacancy rate underpin robust demand and sustained capital growth, as demonstrated by 18% price appreciation over the past 12 months. The market has started re-rating this location — 12-month growth of +18.0% puts it ahead of the broader Western Australia median. Constrained supply means downward price pressure is structurally limited.
The median price is derived, not estimated. Every number on this page traces back to the model's proprietary yield surface — calibrated for each part of the country and resolved against distance from CBD. The price falls out of the formula.
Inputs for this suburb sit at the top of our calibration tier. The model is not guessing.
