Hi batesy

I think purchasing triplex/duplex site is a great strategy as I am sure Balga will continue to provide above average long term CG and enable u to add value by developing. The only problem is holding costs as opposed to purchasing a house in Success where you would probably achieve better rent and be able to claim depreciation.

I actually found these homes to represent excellent value, seems like alot investors do to:

– Celebration, Pinnacles
– Ventura, Le Merridian

Similar size approx. 236sqm2.

Hi
I am currently building with Celebration in Perth and Ventura in South West. Ventura, second time around.

Have been happy with both?
Overall Celeb is cheaper, and will build within 12 month timeframe.

Ventura – fittings etc. higher standard, you could be looking at possibly extra $10,000 for same size home .

Ventura – Timeframe south-west…[Read more]

Hi
I have been very happy with Celebration Homes which is part of the Dale Alcock group, competitive pricing and most importantly build within a 12 month timeframe.

In today’s West you will find details on developers/estates, including regional. (after RE section)

12 months ago I was able to purchase 2 beachside blocks under $150,000.

I recently purchased 2 blocks which unfortunately I had to pay more than $150,000. I also noticed today block in same location is privately selling for…[Read more]

Hi Michelle,
Busselton population is approaching the level of a significant regional town.
According to Hegney Outlook Report for 2006 – growth over next 12 months is estimated at 10%-15%.
If you are looking for capital growth focus on West Busselton.

You also mentioned that Busselton is cheaper than Bunbury, I would disagree with that…[Read more]

Ned and Aus, let the cat out of the bag, we got nuff people chasing IPs over here…..

Hey DD
I would not be too worried about these petty fees, I can assure you the capital gains will more than cover this. 15-20% pa at present, we are cruising.

Hi Foundation, as far as comparing wages – Melbourne versus Perth etc. etc. , I am really not…[Read more]

I am not sure whether we need to be too concerned about median price of Melbourne etc., I think its irrelevant in terms of Perth market.

I am only interested in what is driving Perth/WA market up and whether I believe it is sound and reasonable to keep investing.

Hi JVT
according to the Hegney Outlook Report for 2006:

Land supply, rising building costs, and demographics are all factors that will drive WA property markets in 2006 expecting somewhere between 15-20% growth.

Economist – St George (WA Market)
Low vacancy rates (lowest amongst the state capitals) and rising rental values support further gains…[Read more]

hi Qinvest
In today’s market I believe Doubleview represents good value considering proximity to beach and city, also surrounded by upmarket suburbs.

Its had continual steady growth, and developers are building very flash townhouses.
Median price is over $400,000, what are you looking at spending?

Also if you could push the budget I would say go…[Read more]

Hi there, can you provide more info, where is the property??
Also why 2 units, if zoned triplex 800?

(Hard work never killed anyone, buy hey why take a chance)

Hi Derek,
thanks for info read this in paper today, I think they stated 24% rental increase over last 12 months, I believe in miracles.

Also, similar scenario in Bunbury, however rents are about 20% higher on average than Perth.

Dazzling,
Great work.
I cant really complain too much about the Perth resi market, maybe one ratbag tenant who is now…[Read more]

It really depends on price range as to where you can build etc.

However you could check sites below, these are some developers in Perth which will give some idea on prices and what’s around.

Interest comments.
We have friends who purchased in old part of Dunsborough, nice spot but they have found they rarely get down there due to distance and are now looking at purchasing in Mandurah.

I cant see Mandurah slowing down at this point in time.

Thanks PropertyWA,

Bunbury has had a brilliant run, wonder whether it can continue??
I am told many people moving into the area from overseas/interstate chasing well paid mining jobs.

Cheers, M

Get a qualified electrician, I would not consider anything else.

Just another article I read yesterday regarding Busselton (Provence).

$1Billion resi development “Provence” will be selling within the next few weeks.

Provence will replicate Dalyellup, which has been an amazing success. This is sure to boost employment and there will be other spin-offs from this .

Traditional lots will start at around $110,000…[Read more]

Hi Boo
I love Busselton but not in January….

If you are chasing CG I would not touch the resort style apartments.
I would be looking at house on decent block of land and preferrably West Busselton, I have been advised by locals that this is by far the most sought after pocket.

Busselton and generally south-west regional areas have had amazing…[Read more]
