The most expensive Perth homes sold in 2022
In the luxury property market, Perth prices are seen as offering excellent value which attracts buyers from Sydney, Melbourne, Hong Kong and Singapore.
REIWA chief executive Cath Hart said while there had been some softening across all the premium suburbs, the top-end price brackets for 2022 remained strong.
“While some high-end suburbs have recorded growth exceeding 10 per cent, overall there has been a slowdown in growth and sales volumes in these areas compared to 2021,” she said.
“The luxury, waterfront sector is performing extremely well, as it almost always does.
“The rate of inquiry remains high, and we are seeing this from locals in Perth, as well as expats from over east looking to return here and people looking to move to Perth for the first time.”
Here are the 10 most expensive houses sold in Perth this year.
