🏡 NORTHERN CORRIDOR PROPERTY & COMMUNITY UPDATE
The Perth property market is beginning to offer buyers more choice, but our northern coastal corridor remains active.
According to REIWA’s figures for the week ending 23 August, Alkimos recorded 10 sales, making it the equal highest-selling suburb north of the river. Yanchep was also among the busiest northern rental suburbs, recording 11 leases during the week.
What does this mean locally?
For sellers, demand is still there, but presentation, accurate pricing and standout features matter more as buyers compare their options. Solar, batteries, side access, established gardens and proximity to the train line, schools and coast can all help a home stand apart.
For buyers, increased property listings are providing a little more choice and breathing room, although well-positioned and well-presented homes are continuing to attract interest.
A few other local updates:
🌊 Dunes Beach Resort in Mindarie has reached practical completion ahead of its anticipated opening. The development includes glamping accommodation, dining and function facilities.
🐾 The City of Wanneroo is considering four potential dog-beach locations across Alkimos, Two Rocks and Mindarie. Community consultation is now open, but the locations have not yet received final approval.
🏠 Perth’s rental supply remains tight, with 2,083 properties available for rent at the end of the week and Yanchep continuing to record strong leasing activity.
💰 The RBA left the cash rate unchanged at 4.35% in August. Buyers should continue to keep their finance approval current, as borrowing capacity and lending conditions can change.
The northern corridor continues to grow and evolve, but conditions can vary considerably between individual suburbs, estates and even streets. Local, up-to-date advice is becoming increasingly important for anyone considering their next move.
