Watch 1m 30sResidents in the southern Perth suburb of Bull Creek are forced to use buckets of water and garden hoses to fight an out-of-control bushfire. CNN and the BBC World Service which is copyright and cannot be reproduced AEST = Australian Eastern Standard Time which is 10 hours ahead of GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) Perth's million dollar property club has expanded in spectacular fashion with a record number of suburbs moving into this rarefied zone and surging investor loans in Western Australia highlighting the rush for that state's houses Perth’s meteoric price rises have made asset millionaires of thousands of Perth property owners with an unprecedented 30 suburbs joining the city’s million dollar club in the past year Highlighting the relatively sudden upwards jolt the market has experienced in the Western Australian capital only two new suburbs joined the list in 2022-2023 and 87 of them can now lay claim to a median house sale price of $1 million REIWA President Joe White on Thursday (15 August) said the record number of new entrants reflected Perth’s extremely strong price growth over the past 12 months “Under normal market conditions you can expect to see a few new suburbs join the million-club each year as their prices rise due to improved amenity or infrastructure growing popularity for certain lifestyle features or as a flow-on effect from price growth in neighbouring suburbs,” he said “However, this financial year house price growth in Perth has accelerated and the median house price has increased 18.8 per cent fuelled by population growth and limited new housing supply has seen strong price growth across the metropolitan area with nearly a quarter of the suburbs in the million-dollar club recording growth greater than the overall Perth market.”  Filtered for suburbs with median house sale prices greater than $1,000,000 for the 12 months to June 2024 Leading the charge among the chosen 87 was Karawara which saw a 43.5 per cent in its median house sale price to $1,155,000 Mr White said Karawara’s appeal lay in its proximity to the Canning River “The suburb is undergoing a transformation with upgrades to Waterford Plaza offering residents two supermarkets and a range of new eateries,” he said “Properties have also undergone renovation and revitalisation in recent years Plunging listings are separating Perth’s turbo-charged property market While listings are increasing in most of the country Perth’s supply of homes for sale is tanking Melbourne (+21.7 per cent) and Sydney (+17.4 per cent) have seen the largest increase in total listings over the past year among capital cities Adelaide (-6.9 per cent) and Darwin (-2.4 per cent) were the only capitals to record a fall Perth’s lack of stock is in marked contrast to Melbourne Both of those more populous cities have seen new listings month by month for a year capital cities have seen a 14.4 per cent rise in new listings year-on-year compared to a 7.9 per cent rise in regional markets Perth’s pace of property price growth is streaks ahead of the rest of the country with 22.77 per cent year-on-year growth in July while Adelaide was a distant second at 14.81 per cent and Brisbane took bronze with 13.93 per cent growth Perth continues to experience faster growth in the most affordable suburbs Global Sales and Marketing Manager for aussieproperty.com highlighted that the newly listed suburbs in the million-dollar club from inner-city and middle-ring areas are all “bridesmaid suburbs.” These neighbourhoods adjacent to existing million-dollar suburbs are gaining attention due to their appealing characteristics “Landed properties with potential for future renovation or subdivision in Willetton and White Gum Valley have entered the million-dollar club,” Ms Kelley explained “This trend is largely driven by increased demand as population growth intensifies pressure on the limited supply coupled with relaxed zoning regulations.” suburbs new to the million-dollar list include Shelley Their inclusion means that all waterfront suburbs from Shelley through to Coogee now have a median home price tag above $1 million “These southern middle-ring suburbs are also ‘bridesmaids,’ where the presence of high-performing school zones plays a significant role in driving up market prices “Families are fiercely competing to secure property in these highly sought-after areas She also pointed out that the outer suburbs which have recently joined the million-dollar club expansive homes on large blocks further from the city “While they may lack the same level of local amenities these properties compensate with their grandeur and size,” she added Investors are also jumping on board the property juggernaut in the west Data from Money.com.au reveals that investor loans in Western Australia have surged 37 per cent over the past year—over three times the national average increase of 11 per cent The investor boom in WA has been fuelled by the influx of interstate investors snapping up property in Perth where house prices have increased by 23.8 per cent year-on-year said Australia is seeing a boom in investor activity — investor loans now account for 38 per cent of new loans issued That’s up from just 22 per cent seen at the lows of 2020 with the number of investor loans in the state rising by 37 per cent annually “This investor interest is powered by five key factors: the state’s growing population and the resources boom in the region,” he said warned that the housing market in WA may have reached its peak with a lack of supply now driving investors to Victoria and South Australia where supply is more readily available and property prices remain relatively attractive compared to other states “WA has seen solid growth in investor lending in the last five years but property prices in the state are now higher than investors may be willing to pay “It’s an inflated market and the bubble will eventually burst,”  he said Investor loans in Western Australia have surged 37 per cent over the past year—over three times the national average increase

A Perth teenager accused of stealing a boy’s bicycle and then murdering the good Samaritan who tried to intervene has appeared in court, supported by his parents. Petr Levkovskiy, 42, died on Sunday night after he was stabbed in the stomach on Camm Avenue in Bull Creek around 10.20am, allegedly by the 15-year-old boy. The teenager accused of murdering Perth father Petr Levkovskiy. The teen, who is a promising junior baseball player, appeared in Perth Children’s Court on Tuesday morning charged with murder and stealing. During the hearing, details of the charges, including the name of the boy whose bike he allegedly stole, and its value, $500, were read aloud. The teen remains in custody, and will appear before the President of the Children’s Court later today for a bail hearing. WA Police major crime detective superintendent Leo Ricciardi said Levkovskiy had come out of his house to investigate a commotion when he saw a group of young boys distressed about one of their bikes being stolen by a passerby. “[Levkovskiy] offered to assist and recover the push-bike,” he said. “He drove around the area with his wife, a short time later he believed he spotted the pushbike and a male riding it, so he approached that male and confronted him. An altercation took place and as a result the 42-year-old man was stabbed in the stomach. “You don’t expect that something like this is going to happen when you’re just trying to assist some young kids that have had their bike stolen. “It’s an absolute tragedy for the family and just a reminder that you need to be aware of your surroundings when you’re trying to help someone.” The teen left the scene, sparking a police search. A GoFundMe page set up to help Levkovskiy’s family pay for his funeral had raised more than $80,000 in less than 24 hours.
