i have been tracking a couple of properties that have been on the market since christmas..is this a little strange that they have been for sale so long or is it a reflection on the housing market at the moment in perth

thank you

how much were they up for?????

as if they where near the half a mill then people have been to slow to buy because of the tax
however while we were there last week wa gov abolished property tax on houses under half a mill

People have been waiting for government stamp duty to be reduced and price at when it kicks in to be increased. This has now taken place. Peopel also waiting to see some levelling out in the market regarding prices.

aston man

yes ,the house were interested is $550k..

Perhaps they are overpriced for the area or people don't want to live next door to a planned nuclear processing plant.

The stamp duty issue has probably held a lot of people back from buying within that price bracket.

(The processing plant bit was a joke BTW).

Just the house Market fella, people have finaly started getting smart.
Our next door neighbour is the owner of a real estate agency and they can't shift anything at the moment.
Had lunch with the owner of Ray White last week and he said the stamp duty relief hasn't 'encouraged' the market, due to it only being for first time buyers. As the average wage in Perth is between $60-$80k then $500k+ is way out of their price range. Somethings gotta give soon. Do you remember when it happened in the U.K,

so its a buyers market then,i have a feeling i may be making a few outrageous offers,nothing ventured and all that,it wont be the first time ive be told to..well you know..
i suppose being a newly arrived pom ,i might have a big sucker sign on my head,but thanks to your help that may not be the case now..
my brother in law offered ,i cant remember now,i think it was a massive amount it was something like 60k under the asking price,i thought at the time jeez thats a cheek ,guess what??

they accepted the offer..

thanks for your help.i might just do what you said yesterday and if i get no joy with some crazy offers and just sit tight for a while..were just a little impatient as weve been in rental for six months,and you know the old saying ,theres no place like home

You've heard of the Tramp that lives in the central reservation in Wolves?
He's got a satallite dish and everything now. he hasn't got a TV though.

Do know what you mean though do miss that with our house, wifes getting jealous now as I'm posting more, so better pass the soother over to her, she gets B.E.:curse:T, if I'm on too long.

aston man

mate youve got the memories flooding back now,i worked on the law courts about twenty years ago and that tramp was there then,.
there were also some strange ladies who used to exchange money for other things, who used to hang around there too..

Loving your house!!! how far from CBD is it? why are you moving back to UK? if you don't mind me asking

hitchcock71

your house is beautiful

why are you selling ?

what size plot is on???

what comes with the house??????

how soon do you need to sell????

Kath & Graham

We are not in a rush to sell, the plot is about 639 (I think) as you can see 5 big bedrooms thats what attracted us to it and in a really nice area.

We are about 30 minutes from Perth City. We are in a great area, Kinross Primary School and Middle School are around the corner (but not in your face) a big IGA and park near us and the train station is up the road (about 10 minutes walk)... Joondalup is 5 minutes by car. Lovely little close and great neighbours.


We are returning to UK as I have never settled here, we have got til end of October as dogs cant fly back til beginning of November and eldest is in Year 12.

You can pm for any more info.

Thanks for looking guys!!
