PROPERTY HOTSPOTS PROPERTY WATCH® REPORT PERTH GOLD COAST Surfers Paradise Fourth Quarter 2013 2ND HALF 2015

PERTH HOTSPOTS July – December 2015

HOTSPOTS OVERVIEW This hotspot report analyses the suburbs of Perth and its metro area, to highlight suburbs with above average growth over the past 12 months to June 2015; thus informing the market for the second half of 2015. To determine Perth’s hotspots three key indicators are utilised. Firstly annual median price growth between FY2014 and FY2015. Secondly aggregate estimated value of residential, commercial, and infrastructure project developments between FY2014 and FY2015, and those to commence construction July 2015 onwards. This indicates upcoming property supply, interconnectivity to the CBD and other economic hubs, and level of economic activity expected in the area. Lastly average day on the market and average vendor discount are considered, determining the level of competitiveness between buyers in the market. In Perth and its surrounding metro area, the trend has been showing a softening in median prices for both houses (-2.9%) and units (-2.2%). The median price of Perth CBD and its immediate areas range between Overview $600,000 - $900,000, with most expensive suburbs to be found within the inner ring.
