I can’t claim to be an expert on commercial property though.

I’m not sure what to make of Jenman. I have enjoyed reading his articles, there’s some good information there.

However, reading the ‘property revolution’ article I have to say – the man’s a damn communist! Basically he’s saying that property investing is unfair because rich people make money, and that this is morally…[Read more]

I chose not to buy in the first release, but now I’m starting to get swayed by peer pressure!

My main concern – where’s the scarcity value in buying in Yanchep in the longer term? Right now there’s definitely undersupply – prices for established properties are strong at present. But if…[Read more]

but as I understand it, I can still get some of those blue stars by consecutive posting – but I just have to be willing to invest more time to do so (thanks to the 60 seconds between posts rule). It still sounds like it’s worth it to me – those stars are cool!

Interesting given the price is really not that cheap IMHO. It wasn’t a spectacular release, as the blocks weren’t particularly close to anything of interest.

There’s still quite a bit of land available in Quinns Rocks, but none of it…[Read more]

I’ve been up there a couple of times in the past few weeks but didn’t buy anything. I’m sticking to Quinn’s at this stage, and once Marmion is completed I’ll just drive up the road to swim in Yanchep lagoon.

Southern suburbs are booming, consider the northern suburbs as well. I’ve been looking around Quinn’s Rocks, Yanchep and Brighton/Butler over the last month. My strategy basically has been to pick one area that I personally like, and get to know it as well as possible. For others, inner…[Read more]

I like the idea of anything coastal, and Yanchep does have the lagoon.

The reason why I bought in Quinns rather than Yanchep was proximity to CBD, and its impact on furture sales value. Yes, Marmion Avenue does make it a shorter journey, but equally it opens up a large area of coastal land for further…[Read more]

I’ve got a block in Quinn’s Rocks that I payed $220,000 for, and having spent that much on the land I felt that a two storey might be justified. Second storey would have an ocean view, although not a very good one.

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.

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’?

‘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?

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?

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!
