AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For areas not covered by this data, growth rates by age cohort provided by ABS in its latest Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) are used. Exceptional growth is predicted over the period to 2041, with the area expected to grow by 229 persons, reflecting a reduction of 82.8% in total population over the 17 years.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development activity positions Mandogalup among the top 25% of areas assessed nationwide

Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers, allocated from statistical area data, Mandogalup has seen around 211 new homes approved each year. Between FY-21 and FY-25, an estimated 1,057 homes were approved, with a further 129 approved so far in FY-26. This indicates that supply is meeting or surpassing demand, providing greater buyer choice while supporting potential for population growth above projections.

New properties are constructed at an average value of $375,000, slightly above the regional average, suggesting a focus on quality developments. There have also been $2.7 million in commercial approvals this financial year, indicating limited commercial development focus. Relative to Greater Perth, Mandogalup has 10707.0% more building activity per person, providing buyers with ample choice and suggesting strong developer confidence in the location. Recent development has been entirely comprised of detached houses, preserving the area's low density nature and attracting space-seeking buyers. The location has approximately 1 people per dwelling approval, indicating an expanding market.

With population projections showing stability or decline, Mandogalup should see reduced housing demand pressures, benefiting potential buyers.
