Discounting more severe in Perth than in some other capitals: SQM Research

By Cassidy Knowlton

As it releases a list of the top 10 most discounted properties in Western Australia, SQM Research notes that the discounting occurring in Perth has been a little more severe than some of the other capital cities.

"We have often featured Perth homes possessing massive discounts in our national top 10 as well as homes from Perth which have spent an excessive amount of time on the market," SQM Research director Louis Christopher says. 

He says Perth's housing market is the weakest among Australian capital cities and says it is likely to bottom out next year.

"In terms of the Perth housing market in general, SQM Research forecasts that it will likely post the biggest falls of the capital cities for 2011 between 7.8% and 9.8%. If the economy manages to scrape through next year, house prices for Perth are likely to bottom out and we will not see further substantial declines," Christopher says.
