The price of rural properties for sale WA remained strong in the second quarter of 2023 despite a decline in commodity prices across most markets, the latest Elders Rural Property Update has found.

The one-year rolling median price per hectare remained unchanged at $6,552/ha in the period – but was down 5.9 per cent year-on-year. This compares with a 0.1 per cent increase nationally.

Elders reports the Northern and South West regions of WA recorded steady growth but that was offset by slight declines elsewhere. It also notes the result was achieved on a four per cent decline in the one-year rolling transaction volume (and -8.1% year-on-year), the eighth consecutive quarter of decline.

All up, the value of rural property traded in the quarter was $1.7 billion, down 0.9 per cent quarter-on-quarter but up 34.4 per cent year-on-year.

Rural properties for sale WA - still strong demand for quality farms that came onto the market during late winter and early spring

Simon Cheetham, Elders’ Senior Rural Real Estate Sales Executive Western Australia, says quality farms that came onto the market during late winter and early spring received very strong interest.

“Prices achieved to date often exceeding initial seller expectations, in many cases setting new district benchmarks per arable hectare, particularly land suited to cropping in WA’s high and medium rainfall zones,” he adds.

The continued strength in WA rural property prices follows on from robust price growth in 2022. Rural Bank’s Australian Farmland Values 2023 report found the median price per hectare rose 22.5 per cent to a record $5,121/ha last calendar year, bolstered by a record winter cereal crop, above average commodity prices, and tight supply of farm land.

Although this was a slowdown from the previous year’s growth of 36.3 per cent, it marked the fifth consecutive year of growth. Over this period the median price has risen by 157 per cent.

The growth in median prices was seen right across the state except for the South West where values were flat year-on-year but remained near record levels.

The Central region recorded the state’s strongest growth for the second year in a row with a rise of 59.8 per cent in 2022 following on from a 52.1 per cent increase the year before. The other two regions to show exceptionally strong growth were Avon Midland with a 49.1 per cent increase and the Great Southern region rising 30.2 per cent from the previous year.

Rural properties for sale WA - growth in median price per hectare was mixed across parcel size segments

Rural Bank notes the median price was pulled down by lower prices for large parcels of land above 900 hectares. It was also achieved against a backdrop of lower transaction volumes, which fell by 27.6 per cent to a 28-year low of 452. All regions across the state recorded a decline in transactions except for the Central region. The sharpest decline occurred in the Great Southern region.

Declines in transaction volumes were seen across all price ranges except for the $8,000-$10,000/ha range which posted a modest 7.1 per cent increase. Similarly, the number of transactions by parcel size declined in all categories with the largest year-on-year changes seen in the smaller parcel ranges. Transactions in the 50-200 hectare range were down 35 per cent while the 200-400 hectare range saw a decline of 24 per cent.

Rural properties for sale WA - sustained demand and robust investment potential in the region’s agricultural sector

Growth in median price per hectare was mixed across parcel size segments with a rise in the small to medium ranges and declines in the larger ranges. The 200-400 hectare range had the highest rise in median price with a year-on-year gain of 48.9 per cent.

The smallest size range of 50-200 hectares also posted good gains in 2022, rising 17.2 per cent from the previous year to $9,065/ha.

Rural Bank’s Simon O’Leary says the remarkable performance of WA farmland underscores the sustained demand and robust investment potential in the region’s agricultural sector.

“Despite challenges such as high input costs, continued tightness in the labour market and rising interest rates, the market demonstrated resilience, showcasing the enduring appeal and strong investment value of Western Australian farmland,” he says.
