more likely due to most FHB's now building to secure a much bigger grant. this is also keeping a lid on prices
It seems FHB are targeting the 10k grant to build a new home. They are building way, way out from the CBD. I think ultimately its only going to drive up prices of those of closer proximity to the CBD in comparison to places like two rocks, alara, alkimos which are twice as far if not more than joondalup is to the CBD.
these market distortions are confusing - currently we are seeing a subsidy for urban sprawl. how that plays out long term remains to be seen
Why do you think willagee has bucked the trend ? Any tecent zoning or infrastructure changes or did people suddenly clue on?

Way more serviced than Ellenbrook already.Personally I don't see the appeal either, but from a logistics side it is possibly more serviced than Ellenbrook which started years before the new north areas, with the bonus of coastal living.
Because she is looking to sell in that area in the next few months

I think people don't care for the CBD as much though.
Mindarie is a pretty big hub of shops and services, there is a train line to Butler already from memory. Jindalee is growing shops wise (a year or so since I built anything up that way).

I do always wonder 'Why do we want to live close to the city?' constantly asking myself that question and i struggle to come up with answers especially in Perth.
Why do i say that? For a few reasons. Because as the above poster stated, facilities in suburbs are every bit as good if not better (ie: you dont actually need to go into the city, unless for work). But how many actually work in the city in Perth (Perth CBD). I barely know anyone if anyone. Perth continues to catchup in the building side, so we have quite a few tradies working all over. We also as anyone would know are considered 'the Mining City' ie youd prefer to live close to transport (planes/airport) that can take you to these mine sites because thats where quite a few work.
As i said i barely know anyone that sits in one of those mediocre sized buildings in an office in the city. I actually dont think i do. The Swan river - is pretty meh. It must look horrible compared to Sydneys harbour, Melbournes and Brisbanes river. Much prefer to live near the ocean and thats what Perth has then in the city near hussle and bussle looking at the groggiest river.
Lifestyle isn't just measured in terms of distance to the shopping centre or distance to the beach. It's the distance to everything else. Freo, Cott, cafes, bars, pubs, clubs, quality schools, commercial / light industrial areas and the rest of Perth where your friends might be. If you're on the edge of Perth then catching up with a friend on the other side of the city can prove pretty difficult.
I would much rather live in a unit in Shenton Park than a house in Alkimos, even with a family. Lifestyle and social options are so much greater and public transport can take you to a lot of places.
The suburbs offer better facilities than the cbd and surrounding inner suburbs? Not in my opinion but admittedly I'm not a bored housewife
As for how many people work in the city, last time I looked it was just over 10% of the city's working population.
I think people greatly underestimate the convenience that perth city and surrounds now offers, it has come a really long way over the last 5 years.
I honestly cannot ever see myself living more than say 7km from cbd oncd ive got kids etc and even that would be worst case scenario
Happy to acknowledge that everyone has different likes etc though
