Jerramungup property market
Jerramungup is one of the 453 council areas we track on the Momentum Dial, our property clock. This page is the plain-numbers read: where it sits in the cycle, who lives there, what's being built, and the suburbs inside it.
Jerramungup is home to 1,248 people. On the Buyers First Momentum Dial its house market currently reads at Peak. Here's the rest of the picture, in plain numbers.

Peak
The Jerramungup house market is growing at its fastest pace in the current cycle. That is a momentum reading, not a crash call: markets can sit at peak growth for a long time before easing.

The numbers, explained
Jerramungup in charts.
The typical house in Jerramungup went from $357,426 in 2010 to $733,647 in August 2026. That is +105% in total, +4.4% a year. It went backwards 6 years in a row at one point. Any market can have a bad year. The ones that stack them are the ones that hurt, and this is the number we weigh most.

What this shows. How much the typical house price in Jerramungup went up or down each year. Teal bars are up years, red bars are down years, and the faded bar is this year so far.
Why it matters. The size of a good year matters less than how many bad years there were and whether they came in a row. Boring? Absolutely. But the length of the down stretch is what decides whether you get out the other side. Typical price at December each year, data from HtAG Analytics.
You don't need to know property to read this. Every chart below opens with the point in one line, then says what it shows and why we care. Teal is a good sign, amber is okay, red means watch it.
The scorecard · 6 things we check
Jerramungup scores 17 out of 30. Mixed.
prices are rising as fast as they will this cycle, so the easy money has been made
6 of 15 years
1.9 new homes approved per 100 that exist
population growing 1.4% a year
2.0% unemployed, Australia 4.2%
a house costs 8.4 years of a local household's income
What this shows. Seven quick checks on Jerramungup, each scored out of five. Five is the reading we most want to see.
Why it matters. No single number tells you whether an area is a good buy. Together they show whether the pieces line up. These are bands, not rules: a council outside a band can still be the right buy for the right person, and one inside every band can still be wrong for you.
House prices since 2010 · Jerramungup vs the 5 most similar councils in WA
Jerramungup has outgrown similar councils over ten years
+14.0% vs +12.8%
A year, last 5 years
+8.6% vs +4.7%
A year, last 10 years
+4.5% vs +3.1%
A year, last 15 years
What this shows. The typical house price in Jerramungup every year, in teal, next to the middle of the five councils in WA closest to it in size and starting price: Cunderdin, Shark Bay, Coorow, Wongan-Ballidu, Pingelly. The small "vs" number in each tile is those councils.
Why it matters. Beating its peers over a whole decade is worth more than any single hot year. It usually means something real is pulling people here.

Houses sold, last 12 months vs the 12 before
What this shows. Two versions of the same price. The dotted teal line averages the last three months, so it reacts fast. The grey line averages the last twelve, so it moves slowly. The bars are how many houses sold each month.
Why it matters. The last three months are running ahead of the last twelve. That is what speeding up looks like before it shows in the yearly number.
New homes · approvals as a share of all the homes here
New homes in Jerramungup are keeping pace with the people
What this shows. For every 100 homes already in Jerramungup, how many new ones the council approved each year. The teal band is the range we call balanced.
Why it matters. New homes are arriving at about the pace the population absorbs them. Balanced. The home count is the population divided by the average household size, so treat the rate as a guide rather than a census.
Affordability · house price in years of local household income
A house in Jerramungup costs 8.4 years of a local family's income
What this shows. Take the typical house price and divide it by what a typical household here earns in a year. A bar of 7 means seven years of the whole household's income buys one house.
Why it matters. Expensive for the people who live here. Prices at this level need outside buyers to keep moving, and outside buyers are the first to leave when things wobble. Income is the 2021 Census figure carried forward at 3.5% a year, so it is an estimate, not a measurement.
Rents · typical weekly house rent, last 36 months
Rent in Jerramungup is $260 a week, up 0.0% in a year

A year, last 5 years
What this shows. What a typical house in Jerramungup rents for each week, month by month.
Why it matters. Rents are moving with inflation. Steady rather than tight.
Rental yield · a year of rent as a share of the price, Jerramungup vs similar councils
Rent covers 1.8% of the price each year in Jerramungup
What this shows. Yield is simple: a whole year of rent divided by the house price. A $500,000 house renting for $500 a week earns $26,000 a year, which is a 5.2% yield.
Why it matters. Lower than similar councils, which are around 4.3%. Prices have run ahead of rents, so you are paying more of the loan yourself while you wait for growth. We don't buy on yield alone and we never set a yield cut-off; it is one piece of the picture, next to growth.
The people
Who lives in Jerramungup.
The population has grown a steady +1.4% a year over the last five years. The growth is mostly homegrown, births outrunning deaths, rather than people moving in. Softer as a demand signal. The median age is 40 and the median household brings in $1,421 a week (Census 2021). 62% of households own or are paying off their home. Owner-occupier markets like this tend to hold their nerve through the cycle, because nobody is forced to sell an address they live at.

Jerramungup is growing steadily: 1,248 people, up +1.4% a year

Why it matters. Steady growth is enough to keep demand ahead of supply, as long as building stays sensible.
Where the growth came from · last 3 years
Growth in Jerramungup is homegrown: births outran deaths by 31
Net change: +55 people over three years.
What this shows. Three ways a place gains or loses people: babies born minus people who died, people who moved here from another part of Australia, and people who arrived from overseas. Bars to the right add people, bars to the left take them away.
Why it matters. Births outrunning deaths is the softest kind of growth. It adds people, but it does not add new households straight away.
Age and households · Census 2021
Jerramungup is about the same age as the typical WA council: median age 40
Jerramungup Typical WA council (middle of 103)
Why it matters. A mixed-age area has demand for most housing types, which makes it easier to sell to whoever the next buyer is.
Income and who owns the homes · Census 2021
Most homes in Jerramungup are owner-occupied: 62% own or are paying off, 25% rent
Own or paying off Renting Other
Why it matters. Owner-occupier markets hold their nerve through the cycle, because nobody is forced to sell the address they live at.
New supply
What's being approved to build.
10 dwellings were approved in FY26, 10 of them houses. Approvals are trending down. If demand holds, thinning supply is how pressure builds under prices and rents.

What this shows. How many new homes the council approved each financial year, split into houses and everything else. Approved is not built, but it is the earliest warning of supply on the way.
Why it matters. Enough building to house the newcomers without flooding the market. Boring is good here.

What this shows. The dollar value of shops, offices, schools, hospitals and other non-home buildings approved each year. The darker bar is the government's share.
Why it matters. Governments build where they expect people. Schools and hospitals are the most honest signal they give about where families are heading. For the named projects behind these numbers, ask for the full report.
Jobs
Who's working in Jerramungup.
Work here runs on agriculture (51% of jobs), ahead of education and training and hospitality. That first number deserves attention: when a quarter of the jobs sit in one industry, the property market inherits that industry's fortunes, good and bad. 51 more residents are in work than five years ago (+8.0%). Unemployment sits at 2.0%, comfortably under the national 4.2%. On the ABS advantage index this council ranks in the top 30% of the country, which you'll notice in the price tags.

Why it matters. Strong jobs growth shows up in housing demand with a lag. People get the job first and buy the house a year or two later.
Who employs people here · Census 2021
Agriculture is the biggest employer in Jerramungup, 51% of jobs
What this shows. The five industries that employ the most residents, as a share of all jobs. The pill is the ABS advantage score: Jerramungup sits in decile 8 of 10 nationally, where 10 is the most advantaged.
Why it matters. One industry carrying a fifth or more of the jobs is a concentration risk. If it wobbles, the whole town feels it.
The outlook
Is Jerramungup worth buying into?
Put the drivers together and the case for Jerramungup is: a population that keeps growing, a job base that has expanded, new supply thinning out. Against that, weigh heavy reliance on agriculture. None of this guarantees anything. It tells you where to look harder, which is what a report like this is for.
