WA Southwest regional

The market in WA's southwest (Bunbury, Busselton, etc) has been flat for 10 years. Are there any signs of movement? Given that Perth has been flat for 5 years and Sydney/Melbourne are seeing a downturn, i dont expect so.

 

Bunbury is interesting. I've looked at it a number of times but it misses the uber-urban typeset - in other words, people still want to rent houses with yards. In central Bunbury, that's pretty pricey comparative to something in Perth with a reduced tenant base. Demand is there though.

Albany is a great place to live but you're better off with something up on snobs hill that's a bit different; boulder on the block, pole home etc.

Busselton suffers from the affluenza syndrome being in proximity to Dunsborough. While there are some great properties for sale in Town, you'd want to get near the schools and stay off the beach or you might as well buy a dump in Quindalup, paint it white and throw it on AirBNB.
