REIWA Perth sales activity on the rise
Perth sales activity on the rise
NEW
04 March 2016
Sales activity in the Perth metro area increased significantly in February.
REIWA President Hayden Groves said the market had enjoyed a healthy rebound following the Christmas and New Year dip.
“reiwa.com data shows sales activity in Perth lifted 16 per cent over the month and five per cent when compared to November 2015.
“We’ve also seen that weekly sales over the last three weeks are higher than they were at the same time last year. While it’s too early to call this a trend it’s a good indicator that mobility in the market is beginning to improve,” Mr Groves said.
At a sub-regional level, the Central sub-region had the strongest increase in sales activity over the month lifting a healthy 37 per cent, followed by the North West sub-region with a 24 per cent lift.
“Baldivis in the South West sub-region and Canning Vale in the South East sub-region were the top selling suburbs in February, followed by Scarborough in the Central sub-region,” Mr Groves said.
Perth’s median house price etched back 1.1 per cent in the three months to February, coming in at $529,000.
Listings
Mr Groves said there had been a three per cent increase in listings stock in February which wasn’t surprising as vendors traditionally returned to the market at the start of the year.
“This is a marginal increase given the time of year, but it’s significant to note that listings are now eight per cent lower than they were in November which suggests this could be the early stages of a correction in a market of prolonged higher than average stock levels,” Mr Groves said.
Rental market
Perth’s overall median rent price held firm at $400 per week in the three months to February 2016.
In terms of houses and units, Mr Groves said the median price for both was unchanged over the month at $400 and $380 per week respectively, but each had dipped $10 per week when compared to November 2015.
“While tenants are still in a good position to secure a competitively priced lease in Perth, it’s encouraging for investors that rent prices are appearing to steady in 2016,” Mr Groves said.
Rental listings in the Perth metro area declined three per cent in February but remain above the long term average.

Game day in Ellenbrook
The following article is from The Ellenbrook Advocate, 1st Juy 2015
THE long-awaited northern sporting fields and pavilion at Ellenbrook District Open Space are now officially open.
Cricket teams started using the facility last October when the grass was ready but last Friday’s official opening marked the completion of the pavilion, fields, playground and paths as a whole.
Ellenbrook’s local sporting teams can now make full use of the Ellenbrook District Outdoor Space northern playing fields.
The northern playing fields have enough space for two full-size AFL ovals, five junior AFL ovals and three cricket fields.
The new pavilion has meeting rooms, change rooms, clubrooms, a bar and catering facilities.
Ellenbrook Eels Football Club and the junior Ellenbrook Dockers will soon start using the oval for training and match days.
Premier Colin Barnett said at the opening ceremony the complete projects would form one of the best and most comprehensive sport and recreation precincts in the State.
“The pavilion is quite magnificent. This is not some little sporting club pavilion, it services two very strong clubs and the wider sports and recreation complex,” he said.
“As announced in the recent budget, we’ll also provide $7 million towards the Ellenbrook Recreation Centre, a commitment we made in 2013.”
About $2 million of that funding will go towards an aquatic facility for Ellenbrook.
Construction of the southern playing fields is set to start soon.
This will include four FIFA-rated synthetic soccer fields and the Ellenbrook Recreation Centre for indoor sports such as basketball, netball and badminton.
Ellenbrook ward Councillor Patty Williams said the sporting and recreational facility would attract people from surrounding areas to Ellenbrook.
“From its inception Ellenbrook has been designed to provide for the lifestyles of a growing community,” she said.
“The Ellenbrook District Open Space will draw even more people to the area through sporting competitions, events and recreational facility use and hopefully attract more people into sport and physical activity, which will contribute to the overall wellbeing of our community.”
