    Perth houses are currently as affordable as they were in 2003 and 1996

    If someone can't afford uber x they certainly can't afford the western suburbs... I went from the city to Leighton beach last weekend for $26, would've been at least a $40 cab ride imo

    Oh yeah we're definitely on the same page here. So much wasted opportunity it does my head in. Subi is a prime example, as is the epra debacle. Problem is we have morons who scream high rise when a 5 storey building is proposed (eg cott and subi) and make things so difficult councils end up...

    There will always be choice HE, it will just become a more and more expensive choice, as it should be. Agree with you that density should be applied at the correct spots but ultimately we can no longer afford to keep spreading out. Do you know the Ellenbrook line, if built, would end up...

    Unfortunately for the local nimbys the needs for the greater community outweighs theirs. The whole I'm not anti density just anti it next to me debate is going to be harder to defend in the coming years imo

    Remove a car from the equation and most suburbs in perth catering to families (like the western suburbs) will fail. I was talking about the areas as places to live in, not investments. That being said though, you can often pick up a quick million or so when the market finally improves

    I actually agree with you there re mossie park aaron, I think it's often been undervalued compared to surrounding suburbs. Having said that I lived there from 1997 til I think 2004 with my folks, none of us would live in mossie park again. Too cut off from thr city and surrounds Then again...

    It's unconditional but hasn't settled yet, happy to share more in the future once it's settled.

    Perth houses are currently as affordable as they were in 2003 and 1996

    I think it's a good time to be buying luxury real estate though. That cbd property i mentioned was bought at 40% less than its absolute peak, due to not only market but the presentation. Organising the reno atm, a $100k reno will add at least 300k value imo and I think with a small recovery...

    Perth houses are currently as affordable as they were in 2003 and 1996

    I was told recently that geoff haywards house was on the market in city beach for nearly $2m below replacement cost. He's the guy who started cino to go, luxe bar, the brisbane and now Boulevard so can probably afford the haircut but would still be bloody painful. I don't follow the city...

    Dalkeith is still stuffed, as is peppy grove, subi is slow and lower than peaks but stuff still appears to be moving. Renovated homes still going for under replacement value, particularly sub $2m. Inner city luxury real estate is stuffed too, lots of stuff sitting on the market for a while and...
