The heat no deterrent in this hot market

Indeed, the White House Team have put another six properties under offer this week whilst bringing four new listings to the market.

If you are curious to know what we could achieve for your property in the current market, please reach out. We would love to help you.

THE LOCAL MARKET

We are starting to see a few more properties coming to market with REIWA reporting that there were 3,956 properties on the market at 11 February 2024, marking a 2.9 percent increase from the previous week. This includes a 3 percent increase in houses listed for sale, a 3.5 percent increase in unit listings, and vacant land listings remaining relatively consistent, with only a 1.5 percent increase. Overall, listings remain 44.6 percent below the same time last year. Sales were only 0.6 percent lower compared to the previous week, with a total of 979 transactions reported.

Over the past seven days, the team at White House have put SIX properties under offer across five suburbs:

We often say that at White House we specialise in “aligning hearts and homes” and this was no truer than for one lucky buyer this week whose Valentine’s Day was that much more special when they secured the gorgeous elevated limestone cottage at 11 Wesley Street, South Fremantle which went under on Valentine’s Day.

Interstate buyers snatched up the beautiful family home at 5 Echidna Link in Beeliar!

98A Cargill Street, Victoria Park went under offer to an excited buyer from Nedlands after only two home opens.

The fabulous investment opportunity at 806/23 Adelaide Street, in the very heart of Fremantle, is now under offer!

The stunning penthouse apartment with ocean views at 18/1 High Street, Fremantle went under offer after only two home opens. Thrilled buyers & happy seller.

At White House we are constantly working to bring great properties to the market for eager buyers. This week we are thrilled to have launched FOUR new listings to the market:

BEACONSFIELD

Original features are unspoiled, with thoughtful interventions including a very fine kitchen, secluded upstairs master suite, and beautiful bathrooms of simply luxurious materials. Some antique elements are incorporated into the new in a way that feels exactly right – this is an outstanding example of an important heritage home that is a delight to inhabit in the here and now.

BICTON

A natural palette, timber cladding, and a fresh take on the architectural vernacular of the pitched roof are indicative of the highly considered design of this new home in the river precinct. Ideally positioned in one of the most desirable streets in Bicton, 40B Westbury Crescent is a collaboration between Tomasini Construction, Tomasini Supply, and the interdisciplinary design practice Studio Derickx. The main structure has been completed, and this is an excellent opportunity to secure the home and see it come to final fruition.

This is a 3.2 percent decrease from the previous week, 7.7 percent higher than four weeks ago and a minor 0.1 percent increase compared to a year ago. This figure still remains remarkably low, meaning there is very high demand for rental properties currently.
