We had 24 house and land packages listed across Perth’s southern suburbs as at 23 October 2026: 17 in the south, from North Coogee down to Karnup, and seven in the south-east, from Forrestdale out to Whitby. The two halves are priced very differently. Thirteen of the 17 southern packages were advertised at $900,000 or more. Five of the seven in the south-east were under $800,000.

So “southern suburbs” on our books is really two markets. In the south, most packages were four-bedroom homes on lots of 364m² to 477m², and most started at $900,000 (as at 23 October 2026). In the south-east, four bedrooms on a 375m² lot were listed for under $700,000 on the same day.

What we had listed, suburb by suburb

Every figure here is the advertised starting price for a block and a home priced together by one of our builder partners. Listings change week to week, so the live lists further down this page are the ones to trust.

Baldivis 3 $799,000 to $999,999 (as at 23 October 2026) 388m² to 524m²
Anketell 3 $900,000 to $963,930 (as at 23 October 2026) 441m² to 477m²
Hammond Park 4 $900,000 to $1,000,000 (as at 23 October 2026) 364m² to 395m²

North Coogee 2 $1,114,000 to $1,194,000 (as at 23 October 2026) 180m²

The south-east

Suburb Packages Advertised from Blocks
Hilbert 2 $668,550 to $747,250 (as at 23 October 2026) 240m² to 375m²
Whitby 2 $690,000 to $699,000 (as at 23 October 2026) 375m²
Champion Lakes 1 $782,150 (as at 23 October 2026) 349m²
Forrestdale 2 $850,000 to $900,000 (as at 23 October 2026) 313m² to 393m²

Four things stand out.

Four bedrooms is the norm in the south. Fourteen of the 17 southern packages had four bedrooms or more (as at 23 October 2026). The three-bedroom exceptions were in Wellard, Cockburn Central and Baldivis.

Under $800,000 in the south meant Wellard, Karnup or Baldivis. Only three southern packages were under $800,000 as at 23 October 2026: a three-bedroom home on 225m² in Wellard at $700,000, a four-bedroom home on 375m² in Karnup at $749,000, and a four-bedroom home on 388m² in Baldivis at $799,000. Everything else started at $900,000.

The south-east is where the four-bedroom packages under $700,000 were. Both Whitby packages were four-bedroom homes on 375m² lots with a 12.5m frontage, at $690,000 and $699,000 (as at 23 October 2026). In Hilbert, a three-bedroom home on a 240m² lot was $668,550 on the same day.

The most expensive packages were on the smallest lots. The two North Coogee packages sat on 180m² lots and were the most expensive in the south, at $1,114,000 and $1,194,000 (as at 23 October 2026). At the other end, the Jandakot package was a four-bedroom home on 591m² at $1,000,000. Price per square metre of land tells you very little across suburbs this different.

The south: Cockburn, Kwinana and Rockingham

Our 17 southern packages sat in three council areas. The City of Cockburn takes in Hammond Park, Jandakot, Cockburn Central and North Coogee. The City of Kwinana takes in Anketell and Wellard. The City of Rockingham takes in Baldivis and Karnup.

The Mandurah line runs down this corridor. Transperth’s timetable lists stations at Cockburn Central, Aubin Grove, Kwinana, Wellard, Rockingham and Warnbro on the way to Mandurah. METRONET set the Thornlie-Cockburn line, Perth’s first east-west cross line, to open on 9 June 2025, with new stations at Nicholson Road and Ranford Road and a direct route from the Mandurah line. Karnup has no station yet: METRONET said in 2023 that the State Government is committed to building one and will keep pursuing federal funding for it.

In Anketell, Main Roads WA has announced construction funding for the first stage of the Anketell Road upgrade, between Leath Road and Abercombie Road, with road construction expected to begin in 2028. If a lot you like is near Anketell Road or Thomas Road, ask what the works and the traffic mean for it.

Two checks matter more here than elsewhere:

  • Read the frontage, not the lot size. All four Hammond Park packages sat on 12.1m frontages (as at 23 October 2026). That is narrower than 12.5m, the width most of our four-bedroom designs are drawn for, and a design drawn for 12.5m needs the full 12.5m. If you are choosing a design for a lot like that, start from the five drawn for 10.5m, compared on our page of 10m frontage home designs, or ask the builder which design the package uses.
  • Lot sizes vary more than prices suggest. The Cockburn Central and North Coogee packages sat on 180m² to 238m² lots, against 441m² to 477m² in Anketell, and all three suburbs started at $900,000 or more (as at 23 October 2026). A small lot suits some households and not others. On a narrow block, our page on 7.5m frontage house plans shows how the designs drawn for it use the width.

We have independent guides for Baldivis, Hammond Park and Wellard.

The south-east: Hilbert, Whitby, Champion Lakes and Forrestdale

Hilbert is in the City of Armadale, west of the Armadale city centre, as our Hilbert guide sets out from the City’s own description. Whitby is in the Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale, beside Mundijong.

The train came closer in 2025. METRONET says the Armadale line has been extended about 8 kilometres south to a new station at Byford, and the State Government reported the full line reopened in October 2025. Whitby is served by bus routes 259 and 262, which run to Byford Station. A station at Whitby appears in the Shire’s district structure plan only as a consideration, not as a funded project, so do not buy on it.

What to know before you buy here:

  • You are buying a suburb that is not finished. Schools, shops and roads in the newer estates are often scheduled rather than built. Ask which are funded and dated, and treat anything on a masterplan without a date as a maybe.
  • Titles are the thing to watch. Stage releases are often sold before they are titled. That gap is where finance approvals lapse and budgets get re-quoted, so get the estimated titling date in writing.
  • Estate rules sit on top of council rules. Most estates carry design guidelines on facades, fencing and roof pitch. Ask for them before you fall for a design.

Our guides to Hilbert and Southern River cover two of the south-east suburbs in more depth.

How to compare packages across the south

A package in North Coogee and a package in Whitby sat about $500,000 apart on our list as at 23 October 2026, and they are not the same product, so headline prices tell you very little on their own. Compare like with like:

  1. The same bedroom and bathroom count, and the same garage.
  2. The block size and frontage, which decide what you can build now and later.
  3. What the price includes: site works, driveway, fencing, landscaping, floor coverings and window treatments. Two packages at the same price can differ by a lot once these are added.
  4. When you can build. A titled lot you can start on is worth more to you than an untitled one with a date that could move.
  5. The trip you will actually make. Drive the commute at the hour you would drive it, not on a weekend.

Our guide to comparing home builder quotes goes through the inclusions line by line, and how to evaluate a land release covers the questions to put to the developer. If this is your first home, check the grant before you set a budget: our first home owner grant calculator works through it for a new build.

Where we fit

We are not a builder and we do not own land. We match you with packages and builders from our panel, check what is and is not included, and we are paid by the builder, not by you. How we are paid sets that out. If you have a suburb, a budget or a lot in mind, tell us what you are looking for and we will tell you what we have and what to check.

Common questions

What is the cheapest house and land package in Perth’s southern suburbs?

On our books as at 23 October 2026, the lowest advertised price across the south and south-east was $668,550 for a three-bedroom home on a 240m² block in Hilbert. In the south itself it was $700,000 in Wellard. Prices change as packages sell, so check the live lists on this page or ask us.

Are packages in the south dearer than in the north?

On our own list they were, at the median. As at 23 October 2026 the median advertised price of our 17 southern packages was $937,990, against $747,250 for our seven in the south-east and $738,946 for our 18 in the north. That is one broker’s list on one day, not a Perth median.

Can I get a four-bedroom package under $800,000 in the south?

As at 23 October 2026 we had six: one each in Karnup, Baldivis, Hilbert and Champion Lakes, and two in Whitby. Listings move quickly at that price, so ask us what is current.

What size block do I get in a southern house and land package?

It depends heavily on the suburb. As at 23 October 2026 our southern lots ran from 180m² in North Coogee to 591m² in Jandakot, with most four-bedroom packages on 364m² to 477m².

Do you charge for helping me find a package?

No. We are paid a commission by the builder when you build, and nothing is added to your build contract.
