Hi Peeps - long time no see.
Is anyone starting to find more bargains in WA now that prices are falling?
I had a property alert set on www.realestate.com from ages ago at low prices...and all of a sudden I am getting lots of emails of houses in the Rockingham/Mandurah area popping up on my search alerts.
Yesterday I found 2 properties fairly easily at 5% gross return....are these now common in WA in general or are they a very good buy?
I am looking particularly at a 4x3 finished last year for $390k complete with everything finished and decked out kitches, double sectional rollerdoor etc.....with the tax benefits and current rental demand is that a good deal for the mandurah area?
Lastly - what does everyone think about the future of prices in WA? I am finding some extremely nice houses in Lakelands and Mandurah for below construction prices....seems like it could be a goldmine if house prices stabilize then start going back up.

P.S - I know we have people who love to point out they get bargains in WA no matter what - but this thread is intended to question the market at the level of the average investor - not super-investor. Thanks
