Last Listing description (September 2018)

When you look at the photo of this home, it doesn t look all that fantastic. However, the thing to remember is that the bricks and mortar of a house actually depreciate in value, whereas the land is the thing that appreciates.
There is a tenant who has been in the home for many years, who at the moment, is happy to stay on if the home is sold as a periodic tenant on a month to month basis. I imagine this would be very beneficial to an astute developer when organising to get development plans through the WAPC and the City of Stirling.
There is an old saying that says, you are better to have the worst house in the best street, rather than the best house in the worst street .

The photos we have enclosed show other quality developments in the same street as this home. Slowly but surely, these old homes are going up in value with investors realising the profit they can make when doing a quality development. In time, the street will only have a few older homes still standing. The same thing has happened in Nollamara, Westminster, Karrinyup and North Beach all having the original Homeswest homes on them. It just takes intelligent forethought in any market to make a profit.
With the real estate market appearing to have turned for the better, astute people have worked out that if they buy now, that by the time a development is completed, they should be making a sizeable profit when selling and helping to tick their business over. They can then, during the process, probably look for another site to do the same again.
The lower end of the market is always the first to start going up in value, triggering a domino effect for the rest of the market. So consider jumping on the band wagon while prices are still affordable.
