Mosman Park property market
Mosman Park 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.
Mosman Park is home to 10,482 people. On the Buyers First Momentum Dial its house market currently reads Slowing, while units read at Peak. Same council, different clocks, which is exactly why we track them separately. The number that matters most here: population is compounding at +2.2% a year. People arriving is the rawest form of housing demand. Here's the rest of the picture, in plain numbers.
Houses · cycle position
Slowing
The Mosman Park house market is still growing, but the pace has come off its fastest point. Slowing markets often keep rising for years, just less quickly.

The unit 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
Mosman Park in charts.
The typical house in Mosman Park went from $1,320,237 in 2010 to $2,680,845 in August 2026. That is +103% in total, +4.4% a year. 4 down years out of 15, never more than 2 in a row. Cycles, not collapses.

What this shows. How much the typical house price in Mosman Park 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 · 7 things we check
Mosman Park scores 23 out of 35. Solid.
prices are still rising but more slowly
4 of 15 years
0.6 new homes approved per 100 that exist
population growing 2.2% a year
4.3% unemployed, Australia 4.2%
a house costs 20.4 years of a local household's income
1.1% of rentals are empty, so about 1 in every 100
What this shows. Seven quick checks on Mosman Park, 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.

What this shows. The typical house price in Mosman Park every year, in teal, next to the middle of the five councils in WA closest to it in size and starting price: Cottesloe, East Fremantle, Claremont, Port Hedland, Broome. The small "vs" number in each tile is those councils.
Why it matters. Sometimes a slower market is catching up, sometimes it is being passed. The jobs and supply readings on this page tell you which.

+4.2%
3-month price vs 12-month price
114 vs 160
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
Not many new homes are being built in Mosman Park
What this shows. For every 100 homes already in Mosman Park, how many new ones the council approved each year. The teal band is the range we call balanced.
Why it matters. Fewer new homes means the ones that exist stay in demand. It can also mean building here is hard or slow, which cuts the same way. 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 Mosman Park costs 20.4 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 · and how many rentals sit empty
Rent in Mosman Park is $1,138 a week, up 8.1% in a year
$1,138
A week, August 2026

1.1%
Rentals sitting empty (tight)
What this shows. What a typical house in Mosman Park rents for each week, month by month. The empty-rentals number is the share of rental homes with nobody in them: under 1.5% is tight, over 3% means tenants have plenty of choice.
Why it matters. Rents rising faster than inflation means more people want to live here than there are homes to rent. That pressure eventually shows up in prices.
Rental yield · a year of rent as a share of the price, Mosman Park vs similar councils
Rent covers 2.2% of the price each year in Mosman Park
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. About the same as similar councils. Rent and price are in proportion. 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 Mosman Park.
The population has grown +2.2% a year over the last five years, which is quick by national standards. Interesting mix underneath: locals have been leaving on net (-119 over three years) while overseas migration more than filled the gap (970). Worth understanding who is arriving and what housing they need. The median age is 42 and the median household brings in $2,132 a week (Census 2021). 64% 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.

+2.2% vs +1.5%
A year, last 5 years · typical WA council
+1.3%
A year, last 10 years
Why it matters. People arriving is the rawest form of housing demand. Every new household needs somewhere to live before anything else happens.
Where the growth came from · last 3 years
Overseas arrivals are doing the heavy lifting in Mosman Park: 970 in three years
Net change: +854 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. Overseas arrivals usually rent first, so this kind of growth shows up in rents before it shows up in prices.
Age and households · Census 2021
Mosman Park is about the same age as the typical WA council: median age 42
Mosman Park 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 Mosman Park are owner-occupied: 64% own or are paying off, 34% 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.

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. When little gets built, the homes already here do not have much competition. Good for prices, as long as people keep arriving.

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.

Health care and social assistance is the biggest employer in Mosman Park, 17% 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: Mosman Park sits in decile 10 of 10 nationally, where 10 is the most advantaged.
Why it matters. A spread of employers means no single closure can empty the town. That is the kind of job base that holds house prices through a downturn.
