Perth Market Snapshot for the week ending 9 June |
Sales activity decreased 16 % across Perth this week, with REIWA members reporting 478 transactions.
The decrease in sales reported can be attributed to a 15% fall in house sales, 11% rise in unit sales and 51% fall in vacant land sales over the week.
These figures are quite different to those seen in May, in May REIWA members reported a 10% fall in house prices and only a 1% decline in unit sales.
