The Perth Rent Battle: A Shocking Turn of Events

Perth's home seekers, brace yourselves for a plot twist that wouldn't be out of place in your favourite binge-worthy TV shows. The Real Estate Institute of Western Australia (REIWA) has recently revealed that the median rent in Perth has surged to an astonishing $585 per week! To put things in perspective, just last September 2020, it was a mere $380 per week. That's a jaw-dropping increase of approximately 54%! It's like going from "Yippee ki-yay" to "I've got a bad feeling about this."

Now, let's dive into the real story …

Why should you swap your renter's cape for the hero's cape of homeownership?

1. Becoming a Financial Superhero: Building your first home is like leveling up in your favourite video game, accumulating power-ups as you go along.
2. Crafting Your Dream World: With your own home, you're no longer living in someone else's script. You become the director, casting agent, and star of your own blockbuster.
3. The Hero's Reward: Owning your first home is an achievement worthy of the big screen. It's that final scene where the hero prevails, and the audience erupts in applause.
4. Predictable Adventures: Unlike rent, your mortgage payments won't throw in surprise plot twists. They're as reliable as a cult classic movie marathon.
