Sell My Property in WA: A Private-Sale Guide for Every Property Type

Sell any property privately in WA: strata units, land, lifestyle blocks, investments, holiday homes and estates. What buyers want and the right package.

From a South Perth apartment to a Baldivis family home, a Margaret River lifestyle block or an investment in Karratha, Western Australia has every kind of property. Whatever you own, you can sell it privately with PLBO and keep the commission! Here's what buyers look for in each.

Houses

WA house buyers want the block size, bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas, a patio or alfresco, air-conditioning, solar, a pool and a garage or workshop. Lead with your best outdoor shot and use Generate with AI for a description you can personalise. Follow how to sell your house privately in WA for the full process.

Suggested package: Signature for standard homes, and Royal for family homes.

Apartments, units and villas (strata)

  • Strata disclosures are required under the General Conditions, so gather levies, the reserve fund, by-laws and minutes from your strata manager.
  • Highlights: river or ocean views, balconies, secure parking, storage and pools.
  • Pricing: your PLBO property comparables report shows recent sales of similar units nearby.

Perth's unit median jumped 23.9% in the year to June 2026 to $702,180 (Domain). Unit sellers are in a fantastic position!

Suggested package: Signature.

Vacant land

Land buyers want the lot size, frontage, zoning, services, soil and site classification, and any estate covenants. Add a site plan and photos from the street. New estates across Perth's growth corridors are popular with owner-builders.

Suggested package: Essentials.

Rural and lifestyle property

From the Swan Valley and Perth Hills to the South West, the Great Southern and the Wheatbelt, WA lifestyle properties attract tree-changers and retirees.

  • Show the lifestyle: paddocks, vines, sheds, water tanks, bores and dams.
  • Water, fencing and land use details matter.
  • Offer appointments for travelling buyers.
  • Tax: the main residence exemption generally covers the home and up to two hectares.

Suggested package: Royal or Vertex.

Tenanted investment property

  • Tell your tenant early and follow WA's tenancy rules for showing the property.
  • Choose your buyer: investors love the yield (and WA rents have been strong), while owner-occupiers want vacant possession.
  • Tax: capital gains tax normally applies.

Suggested package: Signature.

Holiday homes

From Busselton and Dunsborough to Albany, Kalbarri and Broome, WA holiday homes attract buyers statewide, interstate and overseas. Sell the lifestyle and offer flexible inspections. Your listing appears on PLBO and across Domain, view, homely, Soho, realty, onthehouse and allhomes*.

Regional and mining towns

In Kalgoorlie, the Pilbara and the Goldfields, buyers are often workers and investors. Highlight rental history, air-conditioning, secure parking and low-maintenance yards.

Deceased estates

  • Authority: probate usually comes first.
  • Transparency: your PLBO property comparables report plus written offers show beneficiaries how the price was reached.
  • Presentation: clean and simple.

Compliance for every WA property

  • Offer and Acceptance with the General Conditions
  • Compliant smoke alarms before transfer
  • Strata disclosures for strata titles

Frequently asked questions

Can I sell a strata unit privately in WA?

Yes. The General Conditions require specific strata disclosures from the seller, and your settlement agent will help you gather them from your strata manager.

Can I sell a tenanted property privately?

Yes. Tell your tenant in writing, give the notice WA's residential tenancy rules require for showing the property, and decide whether to market to investors or owner-occupiers.

Can an executor sell a deceased estate privately?

Yes, once the executor has authority, usually after probate. A private sale keeps the commission within the estate.

Essentials for land and simpler listings with your own photos, Signature for most units and standard homes, Royal for family homes, and Vertex for riverside, coastal, rural and premium homes.
