    Perth - madness.

    I read in API (I think?) a few months ago that Perth average income was on a par with Sydney at around $53K per annum. I'd be interested to see the same comparison in 1-2 years time as the resources boom and labour shartage is driving wages up in WA. Flatout

    Perth - madness.

    Prices from Perth to Mandurah seem to be going up at about $1000 per day. But there are still some good buys out there if you get in quick. I've been noticing quite a variance in prices on comparable properties lately which I think is caused by REA and owners who are struggling to keep pace...

What attracted me to the place continues to attract others. The growth rate just keeps accelerating. Cheeks, I think you have completely missed the...

    Perth - madness.

    I've noticed the same trend on median price houses in Mandurah. Not a very common selling method here usually so will be interesting to see how it goes. Place in our suburb in Mandurah being auctioned inside the next couple of weeks unless sold prior apparently. I'll definitely drop in for a...
