Good to see this thread back in action. I’m sure I’m not the only one around these forums thinking of building in Perth, and it’s great to hear some information about builders/prices/delays etc.

Some more questions:

1)Has anyone got a two storey builder they would recommend? Any experience developing two storey housing, and is there anything…[Read more]

And it’s VERY close to the airport, too. Great for when you’re running late for the plane!

Seriously, is this an issue? I looked up what’s available after reading Ausprop’s comment, and the RE seems pretty cheap. Is this because you’re buying the Perth equivalent of the home from ‘The Castle’?

Ausprop, I’m a ‘North of the River’ kind of guy I guess…

‘windswept beach’ etc – well there’s a marina in Mindarie of course, and I believe there’s plans for another marina development between Quinn’s and Yanchep isn’t there?

The Jindalee development is meant to have a cafe precinct which I think will start to give the area a bit more of a…[Read more]

I thought I’d add my two bits – this is a great thread and has given me some great ideas.

1)Balga and subdivide. Most of the properties I’ve looked at on line seem to be being sold with this in mind now! I’m no expert on subdivision, but a big block 11km from the city and not too far from the beach has got to be a good thing, right?

2)Buy more…[Read more]

Look, it’ll be two weeks until I’m down in Perth. Can you guys stop buying everything so there’s still some land left for me when I get there? Thanks!

It does seem pretty hot at the moment. South of perth seems to have had most of the attention. But the northern beachside suburbs are closer to the CBD by far than Mandurah et al.…[Read more]

Sounds like I’ve missed the boat too then with Capricorn’s first stage. I live in Karratha so the camping out thing isn’t really an option for me either!. I’m about to be stuck in Perth for a few weeks though, and a trip to Yanchep seems to be in order given the buzz up there. I last looked at land there was early 2003; dare say things may be a…[Read more]

23% percent is pretty damn impressive. I don’t believe it can continue at this rate, but I think there’s still some upside. The resource boom is certainly continuing, based on the activity up in NW where I am at the moment.

I’m interested in building a spec home up in the northern beachside suburbs as an IP – Yanchep, Quinn’s or Butler. I’ve…[Read more]

Hi redwing, I haven’t seen those figures – are they new? REIWA still has an article re: the June quarter as its headline on the front page with a median of $297,000.

Any way you look at it, the Perth market is performing strongly. I hope it continues!
