Understanding the Perth Market

At $125k the median runs 25% above Perth's $100k baseline, and the same $125k holds in Sydney, so Perth is competitive with the eastern capitals on this role. The band is wide, $84k to $160k, reflecting the pull of resources-sector finance roles. Perth's mining and resources balance sheets need internal reporting and costing specialists, which supports the premium. With 25 listings, read it as directional.
