With low interest rates and the median sale price for Perth sitting under $480,000, it’s perfect conditions for acquiring an affordable home.
Jones and Co director Kelly Jones said there were currently plenty of accessible and affordable areas for people wanting to enter the market or even upsize.
“Good value properties in suburbs like Bassendean and Bayswater are proof that you don’t have to sacrifice character and amenities for a lower mortgage,” she said.
REIWA President Damian Collins said people who were in a position to buy should strike now.
“In the grand scheme of things, I’ve seen a lot of people miss out when they try to time it to get to the bottom,” he said. “They wait and wait and wait, and then the bottom comes and goes without them realising it.
“If you want to buy a home and can afford it, I’d encourage you not to sit on the sidelines.”
