2 December 2013. Current data from the Real Estate Institute of Western Australia show that deals development lifted during both October and November pushing Perth’s standard house price to a new record.
The data show deals had returned to normal situations and indicate that for the three months to November Perth’s standard house price climbed to around$-$, over from the former peak of$ on the June quarter.
REIWA President David Airey said the main reason for the big rise in deals was that Perth was coming out of a big depression in development in the September quarter and had returned to further normal conditions.
“ The daily standard for the three months to November was over by nearly 4 per cent and due substantially to the composition of deals during this period after strong first home buyer exertion pulled the median house price down to$ in the September quarter.
“ While first home buyer exertion is still veritably apparent, there was a solid increase in deals within a 10 km compass of the CBD and a softening of exertion in external areas, particularly along the littoralsub-regions north and south of the megacity.
“ This shift in deals composition towards more precious parcels dealing pulled the median overhead,” Mr Airey said.
The data also show that in some of the littoral sub regions, similar as corridor of Wanneroo, Joondalup and in Rockingham there was a decaying in deals exertion that had surfaced through the month of November.
“ While this retraction is deals is only modest at around 2 to 3 per cent on the former month, it’s accompanied by a drop in rosters also in these areas which suggests that the fall in deals exertion has nothing to do with surfeit.
“ It’s more likely that first home exertion in areas down from the littoral strip has been the focus of buyers in more recent times,” Mr Airey said.
The number of parcels on the request continues to recover from below average situations over the last time to now reach its loftiest point for the time. REIWA data presently showing residences and land lots for trade.
Mr Airey said that the rental request continued to turn in favour of tenants, with the number of available settlements growing and median rents coming down formerly again.
“ The median rent in the metropolitan area has dropped by just over 2 per cent over the last three months to$ 460 across the board. This now breaks down to typical rents for houses coming in at around$ 470 per week and for units and apartments at around$ 450 per week,” Mr Airey said.
Current REIWA data show rental rosters lifted by 2 per this week alone, to parcels on the request while the vacancy remains above normal at around3.2 per cent.
