Perth's 26 new $1 million suburbs: Did yours make the list?
Another 26 metropolitan Perth suburbs recorded house and unit sales of $1 million or more, according to new data from the Real Estate Institute of Western Australia (ERIWA).
According to REIWA, 8.2% of houses and 3.4% of apartments sales were between $1 million to $2 million, as compared to 6.7% of houses and 3.3% of apartments in 2012/2013.
REIWA president David Airey notes that their list of suburbs is based on where transactions occurred at this price point, not where the median exceeds $1 million. This means the list won't look quite as expected to those used to seeing "million dollar median" lists.
“Six suburbs are completely new to this list while others have returned from previous years after being absent in 2012-13,” Airey said.
Some of the sales included large blocks with single dwellings that would suit multi-residential developments purposes, with others being more typical.
At present, REIWA data records Perth’s median house price at $540,000, with apartments’ median sitting at $450,000.
The June quarter median recorded price per lot for land was $285,000. The regional WA median prices for houses, apartments and land lots were $380,000, $330,000 and $180,000 respectively.
