    Never got around to buying in Perth , but was interested to note that Mandurah is in the seat of canning , site of last weeks by election . An ABC journalist was interviewing people at the train station and reported that none of the comments about tony Abbott could go to air .

    Made me start thinking . Is Mandurah the equivalent on Mt Druitt , Elizabeth , Logan etc ?

    If not , were is ?

    Is there a Frankston / deception bay - Boganville on the beach . Parts on the northern beaches used to be bogan , but changed a while ago .

    Too early to buy there yet . Perthshire just starting to fall off the cliff , but not too early to do some dd .

    Haha following :)
    This thread could be border line reported, tread carefully

    I think Mandurah is where the east coast retirees go

    Haha that probably covered a large portion of Australia

    The CBD is pretty damn bogan. Does it get worse from there?

    Funny thing about Mandurah is its a real mixed bag, there are pockets that are the play ground for the wealthy, with million dollar homes and luxury boats to match..... and then there is the trashy side, but they get to meet each other at Mandurah Forum, how delightful. :)


    Back to Perth, we reported our first deficit last week, rents falling, prices still falling. Is the timing right? I still think we have more pain ahead unfortunately, or fortunately for you

    I really have not looked at Mandurah lately, I know sash built in Lakelands and returns are very good.

    I would personally stay away from cheaper end due to clients it attracts. I like old Halls Head, established and I like this pocket.

    I know some investors are picking up cheap deve sites close to Mandurah centre, but these would be more of a longer term proposition and yields would be low.

    MTR:)

    The pc community is ahead of the average property investor but there is a third faction further ahead than the majority. you need to be able to read what ISN'T written ;)...
    It's my pc fan appreciation day, giving some free virtual hugs to a selected few

    Plus do your own research of course but that's boring

    I live in Mandurah and it does have a Bogan element - it is a real mixed bag. Greenfields particularly is known for its bogans.
    There's heaps going on down here, the forum if getting a huge upgrade, there's a new shopping Centre coming in Lakelands too.

    When I was in Perth in 2010 I had trouble getting out of the airport due to security giving me the "once over".

    Once out, I didn't notice any bogans in Fremantle. Even the fish n chip shop there on the beach was too up market for me.

    Perth looked too clean. Northbridge was clear. King Park, well, apart from the couple making love for 26 minutes in the scrub, it was pretty decent as well lol.

    I just can't picture any bogan area in Perth.

    When the market is falling, Mandurah and surroundings get hammered before the rest of Perth.

    Dev sites with R60 and higher zoning have always been there but development is snail pace except on river front. It really is a mixed big. $2mil canal homes and few streets down you can pick up a 700m2 R60 block for < $350k. Just two years ago, there were 350m2 blocks that backed on to the canal with a private jetty sold for $300k to 350k.

    I'd say kwinana area (orelia, parmelia etc) is the biggest concentration in Perth , Seech. Others are spot suburbs like lockridge / balga in the north and gosnells / maddington in the south.

    Not anymore, a lot of mixed groups in these areas.

    Ellenbrook & Baldivis have a lot of first home owner bogans.
