What can people tell us about Perth from a capital growth perspective rather than positive cash flow. What are the general differences between North of the river and South ? Has Perth had a property boom in the last few years or is it to come or at all ? What areas are looking good for Newish home purchases. Any other info ?
Maybe someone from WA will be able to shed some light?
There’s basically not much difference between suburbs north or south of the river with the exception that people living north of the river don’t like to move south & vice versa.
Perth prices have not moved to the same extent as Melbourne or Sydney. The rise has been a fairly steady 12-15%. Of course there are exceptions.
Good capital growth areas are on both sides of the river and along the coast. All beachside suburbs within 20km of Perth show pretty good return. If you like more info, check out last weekend’s West Australian. There’s a special property report.
Keep an eye on Mandurah & Broome, both out of town but showing really spectacular growth.
Thanks for those replies. I’m trying to get educated. What about canning vale ? Although I’d like to buy a new property, area where there is too much land take a long time to become scare commodities ? Any thoughts ? I’ll have a look into Mandurah, Broome and Carramar.
Canning Vale is ok. There are some fairly large industrial sites around catering for the likes of Swan Brewery. I don’t know the area very well, but I think capital growth is fairly normal.
If you are looking at Carramar, check Wanneroo out as well. The area is in for some developments.
Alternatively, you can contact the West Australian direct. Im not sure if they will mail it directly to you, however, they may hold electronic copies that they can via email.
