Perth dwelling values are currently at a record high

After a period of spectacular but unsustainable growth in home values, Perth's property boom has eased sharply with a rise of just 0.4% in January.

Over the past three months, values are up 1%, well down on the 7.1% gain recorded over the June quarter last year.

The slowdown in value growth has been accompanied by a rise in advertised stock levels, which are now tracking 6.2% higher than a year ago.

Despite the easing conditions, advertised supply levels remain tight and homes are selling in a median of just 16 days, the fastest rate of sale of any capital city, but up from a median of 10 days at the same time last year.

As the owner of several rental properties who regularly looks at the rental listings in my suburbs my experience is that there is a shortage of quality tenants, not a shortage of rental properties

Where is the data around all of these Landlords exiting? You can't say this while saying "sellers are on strike" on all of your other charts. With rents at $550 for a Median House around 600k, we have the best yields. As an owner of multiple proper ...Read full version

Thanks for your thoughts Robert, clearly there’s not one Perth property market – that applies to not only the rental market but the sale market

As an owner of multiple properties why would I put the rent up more than every 6-12 months? If you manage a property well enough their is no need. BTW Great to see Hillarys and Leederville get to the Million club. Hillarys was 95k back in 1993. Thats a 952% Increase

I agree that it makes no sense to sell now, but I’m quoting stats from realestate.com.au and domain – I guess some vendors are seeing hte value of their properties rise after years and years of no growth so they’re getting out

Cap rental increases, thats almost funny how about killing the spider rather than removing webs? the issue is the banking system, who in their right mind would allow any business to up payments on goods that have already been sold, once a home loan has been distributed to a client those funds have no additional cost to the bank who distributed them anymore than a sold motor vehicle to the dealer outside the warranty period. Stop variable interest rate loans they are the real issue which in the end only serve the banking system. Do we want to speak about how banks create money out of nothing now?

Is it just me, but does that look like a rate that is bottoming out (at a positive number) to me?
