Property Management in Perth

Over the last year, Perth’s property market, like Western Australia as a whole, has stayed fairly firm, with unit prices remaining even, while houses have taken a slight fall at 2.8%. The high value metro suburb of Nedlands, which dips into the iconic Swan River, has found strength, with a highest price paid of $8 million over the last 12 months.

In the northern coastal suburb of Ocean Reef, looking out over the Indian Ocean, has found a median house price of $775 thousand over the past 12 month period. In these kinds of affluent suburbs, it’s important for property management to provide the right service.

What to consider when finding the right property manager for your property

• Denser suburbs, like urban Subiaco, home of the WACA, will have a greater number of agents offering a different range of skills, making it even more important to compare property managers.
• The role of property management is not like a one-off sale; you should consider that you may be working with this person for a long time, so choose wisely.
• In more rural and regional areas, property managers can be useful if they know the area well, as it can be hard to find certain things when they are more scarce.
