Increase of Perth Median House Price in December 2016

In the three months to December 2016 Perth’s Median house price increased by almost two per cent.

REIWA.com data showed the median house price had lifted 1.9 per cent to $535,000 over the three month period.

This is now the second month in a row that the median house price has increased which suggests that the trade-up sector of the market is recovering.

Perth listings for sale declined by 11 per cent in December with 13,883 listings recorded in the Perth Metro Area. This is not unusual and could be contributed to the festive season where the market tends to be quieter.
