CONDITIONS ‘NEAR-PERFECT’ IN SOME AREAS Spring is the high season in the real estate calendar, and the next few months are shaping up to be the liveliest we’ve seen for several years.

For buyers, it’s never been a better time to make a move. Interest rates are at historically low levels, and current market conditions are making it a near-perfect time to upgrade into a bigger property or a more desirable location.

Word of this is spreading quickly – recently, we had 37 interested parties inspect Boreham Street Cottesloe, in just 30 minutes. Another home in Floreat attracted 50 enquiries within days of launching.

After a period of uncertainty, there’s also the welcome news that the Real Estate Institute of WA is tracking strong price growth in a number of suburbs – including Swanbourne, South

Fremantle, Applecross, Mt Pleasant, Como, Churchlands, and Highgate.

CY Magazine is published by: Caporn Young Estate Agents - Claremont Head Office 4/355 Stirling Highway Claremont, WA 6010 For advertising or other enquiries, please contact Patricia Cheah on (08) 9385 5559.

CY Magazine is distributed free of charge to the shaded areas below:

In addition, there is major opportunity to be had for sellers in suburbs where stock shortages are forcing buyers to compete fiercely for a small pool of properties available. In some areas that Caporn Young specialise in, there is 50 percent fewer-than-normal homes for sale.

Concurrently, more complex market conditions are brewing in parts of Perth, and not all suburbs are enjoying this buoyant activity. At both ends of the spectrum, you can have confidence in the CY Advantage. Our customised sales and marketing strategies mean our listings continue to exceed expectation across the Perth Metropolitan Area.

If you would like to make an appointment for a Free Appraisal, or are simply looking to discuss your plans, don’t hesitate to reach out to your local Caporn Young representative this Spring.

We will be happy to help you!

COVER: An artful reinvention on the park at 88 Kimberley Street, West Leederville.

PROFILE A TOAST TO THE BEST OF THE BEST CY’S TOP PERFORMERS CELEBRATED The Fremantle office of Caporn Young Estate Agents was transformed into a Winter Wonderland last weekend, as the company gathered to toast the year’s highest achievers.

Team Dobro was the major winner on the night, earning the ‘Sales Team of the Year’ title after transacting more than $50,000,000 in local real estate. This high performing team, consisting of Stefanie Dobro, Michael Harries and customer service manager Zoe Ware, continues to go from strength to strength, and has now grown to include talented buyer’s agent Matt McSweeney.

Caporn Young chief executive Richard Young said Team Dobro had a powerful synergy that allowed it to operate at the top of their game.

Stefanie was also named as the company’s ‘Auction Lister of the Year’, while Michael Harries won ‘Sales Team Member of the Year’ – a special award given to the agent who goes furthest beyond the call of duty to contribute to the wider CY team and help others reach their full potential.

“Michael reminds me of a chap I worked with at Foxtons in London,” Richard said. “They look a little similar, they sound a little similar and they both have the same air of professionalism and competency. That chap went onto to become the CEO of Foxtons! No pressure Michael!”

‘Salesperson of the Year’ went to Siobhan Micale, who also achieved the company’s special ‘Performer Status’. Helen Hemery won the award for ‘Most Improved’, after gaining extraordinary momentum in her home patch of Floreat despite real estate in the suburb being tightly held. Romm Niblett was also honoured on the night for over 10 years of service with the company.

The coveted ‘Rising Star Award’ was given to Bicton specialist Lara

Richardson. Noting that many previous recipients of this accolade had quickly skyrocketed to the very top of Australia’s real estate industry, Richard commended Lara for developing a strong reputation as an empathetic and caring agent, while consistently delivering stunning results. He gave a special mention to Lara’s fellow team member Aidan Casey, who has coached and mentored her since she started her real estate career.

On the property management and leasing side, Jenevieve Dias and Lachlan Burrows were named Property Manager and Leasing Agent of the Year, while Katy O’Shea was named Rising Star.

Sheridan Currie won the Property Management Team Member of the Year, having continued to build a legion of “raving fans” amongst both her property owners and tenants.

“You would be surprised how often people go to the trouble of writing in to say that Sheridan is the best property manager there is,” Richard said.

Richard added that he had been blown away with the achievements of the entire company, which flew in the face of the challenging market conditions.

“The performance across Caporn Young’s three offices this year has been exceptional. While other companies were battening down the hatches, we were able to buck the trend and deliver exceptional results to our clients,” he said.

This comes as Caporn Young was announced as an auction leader at the Real Estate Institute of WA Awards, also held last weekend.

Caporn Young stamped its authority of sale via Auction in WA, selling the highest value of total properties sold via Auction.

RENTAL REVIEW

Lee Fitzgerald - Licensee | Property Management Team Leader

JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED Every August and September, Ireland’s brightest young doctors arrive in Perth for their working placements. Over the years, we’ve built a solid reputation as an agency that provides fair and efficient service to our tenants, and as a result we welcome many fresh expats onto our books each Spring.

These hardworking doctors typically stay in Perth for 18 - 24 months, although more than a few fall in love with our beautiful city and set down their roots. It seems our pristine beaches, sunny weather and world-class hospitality scene are just what the doctor ordered!

This year, there’s particular demand for houses with 4 or more bedrooms, as many are opting to live with colleagues from home.

Areas with easy access to the large hospitals, particularly the western suburbs and Fremantle are hotly sought.

If you have a property that fits their description, please reach out to me as soon as possible - we have qualified tenants waiting in the wings for the right place to come along.
