PERTH’S PROPERTY MARKET THE PANIC BUYERS NEW TARGET

Panic buyers are at it again except forget the toilet roles, Perth’s panic buyers have sent the property market into a frenzy after a single home in Carine for sale drew over 500 people to inspect the property.

The Carine home which received six offers has now sold for $960,000 well above the seller’s original $800,000 expected price. This indicates how desperate buyers are to secure a home to beat the rising prices and increased competition from east coast investors according to RIEWA, The Real Estate Institute of WA.

The low-stock levels are fuelling the panic buying, with only about 7500 properties on the market compared with 12,500 properties a year ago. RP Data claims Perth property prices have jumped 2 per cent in the past month and 4.3 per cent over the past year.

Griffin Group have a large range of off the plan boutique apartments in highly sought-after inner-city locations at today’s property market prices, so now is the perfect time to lock in a new home or investment property and take advantage of the government incentives, rising property market values and tight rental market causing rental prices to skyrocket.
