The Independent Building Podcast: Featuring Linda and Jay
Linda Noble and Jay Dass from Noble Avenue Real Estate were recently invited onto The Independent Building Podcast to break down what’s actually happening across Perth’s northern coastal suburbs, from Hillarys, Sorrento and Mullaloo, to Iluka, Ocean Reef and Burns Beach. And while demand is still incredibly strong, the discussion revealed something more important than price trends: The buyers and sellers who succeed in 2026 are the ones who prepare and adapt, rather than react. Below are the biggest takeaways for coastal homeowners and buyers right now. Buyers are spending more, faster, and not always on the right home Competition isn’t just strong. It’s changing buyer psychology. Buyers who miss out repeatedly are stretching their budgets, expanding suburb choices and buying sooner to secure a home. Many are also buying the wrong house just to get into the market then selling again a few months later. To avoid this, Jay recommends the “7/10 Rule”: If a property hits 7 of your 10 must-have features, it’s worth serious consideration.Not perfection. Not compromise. Smart alignment. This protects buyers from burnout and emotional decision-making. Suburb loyalty is fading, value and lifestyle are winning In previous years, buyers were tightly fixated on a single suburb. That’s shifted. Today: Iluka and Burns Beach continue to sit in premium territory Hillarys is in the ~$1.4m range, with pockets such as Harbour Rise far higher from $2 Million Prices in Mullaloo and Carine have surged Buyers are more flexible, as long as lifestyle boxes are ticked For many buyers: It’s less about one suburb, and more about coastal living, schools, lifestyle and the right layout. Presentation has become a non-negotiable for sellers This was one of the strongest themes in the conversation. Homes that photograph, smell, flow and feel amazing are outperforming similar properties that simply appear “lived in.” That means: paint flooring styling gardens facade impact scent & temperature lighting Small changes are delivering big results. Paint remains the highest return-on-investment upgrade.It feels new, photographs beautifully and instantly lifts dated interiors. And coastal homes benefit more than most from upgrades to alfresco spaces, decking, pool areas and outdoor kitchens, because buyers are purchasing lifestyle. Pricing and transparency matter just as much as presentation A lot of sellers worry about whether to put a price online. The truth is this: Speed isn’t always the goal, competition is. The strongest campaigns: allow buyers time to view the property provide guidance when asked create a transparent bidding environment build buyer confidence There’s a subtle balance between not pricing too early (and underselling) and avoiding an opaque “guessing game” for buyers. Strategy wins. Where $10,000 goes the furthest Linda and Jay shared the smartest places to invest pre-sale: Paint Outdoor entertaining areas and gardens Modern styling and decluttering These upgrades consistently elevate the buyer experience and return value. Final takeaway Perth’s coastal market isn’t slowing. It’s maturing. Buyers are more confident, more prepared and moving fast. Sellers succeed when they style, prepare and run a structured campaign. Transparent pricing, clear communication and lifestyle presentation are outperforming “sell it quickly” approaches. Whether you’re buying or selling, strategy is the difference between a fast sale and a premium sale. Thinking about your next move? If you’re planning a change in Perth northern coastal suburbs our team would love to guide you through your next steps with confidence....

Perth Property Market Podcast – How To Win as a Buyer When Listings Are Down (with Karen Riches)
If you’ve been searching for a home in Perth over the past 12–24 months, you’ll know one thing for sure - competition is fierce. Listings are at historic lows, private inspections are booking out, and the property you inspected yesterday might already have multiple offers. But just because the market is tight, doesn’t mean buyers need to miss out. To help buyers navigate one of the hottest and fastest-moving markets we’ve seen in decades, That Backyard Property Podcast host Michael Killiner sat down with Karen Riches- an award-winning agent, #1 in the northern suburbs for over 13 years running, and the recipient of the 2024 REIWA Master Salesperson Award. Karen has sold hundreds of homes across Perth’s coastal corridor and has worked through every type of market cycle. Her insights are practical, current and based on what she sees happening on the ground, not headlines. Why the Perth Property Market is Moving So Quickly Right Now According to Karen, the surge in buyer activity is being driven by several key forces: 1. Listing levels remain low There are more buyers than available homes, particularly in lifestyle-led coastal suburbs. 2. Perth has seen over 40% growth in the past few years Buyers who waited too long are now trying to catch the market. 3. Population growth is surging More people are moving to Perth from interstate and overseas, increasing competition. “Some buyers have been looking for years. And what they could have bought two years ago is now out of reach. It’s a tough market, but not an impossible one.” It’s the perfect snapshot of current buyer psychology in Perth: cautious, emotional and under pressure to make fast decisions. Karen’s Top Three Tips for Buyers in a Competitive Market Karen has helped countless buyers secure their dream home, and many of them felt overwhelmed or unsure when they started the journey. Her biggest advice: 1. Move quickly when you find a property you love Some buyers are still shopping at the pace of the market from years ago. That time has passed. “Just letting the agent know you’re seriously interested can be the difference between missing out and getting a call back.” 2. Communicate early Each agent has a different negotiation or offer process. “Waiting too long can work against you. Making your interest known early is a huge advantage.” 3. Be prepared Finance, conditions, deposit structure and settlement preference all matter, sometimes more than the price itself. Even small improvements in your offer strategy can make a big difference. The Mistake Karen Sees Buyers Make Every Week Karen says the biggest buyer mistake isn’t offering too low, it’s hesitation. “The biggest mistake is thinking you’ll have a few weeks to decide. Properties are selling within days.” Speed + preparation = confidence. And confidence is what wins in this market. There’s Another Side Most Buyers Forget: Sellers Are Struggling Too While sellers are achieving excellent prices, many are also navigating the same challenge: Where do we move next? That dual-pressure market is where experience and guidance matter most. Buyers and sellers both want clarity—and that’s where the right agent makes the difference. Why Karen’s Approach is Different Karen is known for: Open communication with buyers and sellers Transparency throughout the sales process Consistent market-leading results A process-driven approach (even when listings are down) Working with repeat and referred clients A genuine local focus - not just transactions “Real estate isn’t a one-off handshake. It’s long-term work, relationships, process and professionalism.” This is exactly why Karen remains one of Perth’s most trusted agents. The Outlook for the Next 6 to 12 Months Karen remains positive about Perth’s property landscape. Despite low stock, rising prices and strong demand, the underlying fundamentals continue to drive momentum: Perth remains more affordable than the East Coast Migration and population growth are surging Demand for coastal lifestyle remains strong Investors and owner-occupiers are competing for similar properties “There’s no sign of slowdown in the short term. Buyers just need to be ready.” Buying in This Market Isn’t About Luck. It’s About Strategy. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing or buying your first home, the right knowledge makes all the difference. And it’s why conversations like this matter. Perth’s market isn’t slowing down. But with the right preparation and support, you can put yourself in the strongest position possible. It has never been more important to stay informed, stay alert and stay ready.

Karen’s Top Three Tips for Buyers in a Competitive Market Karen has helped countless buyers secure their dream home, and many of them felt overwhelmed or unsure when they started the journey. Her biggest advice: 1. Move quickly when you find a property you love Some buyers are still shopping at the pace of the market from years ago. That time has passed. “Just letting the agent know you’re seriously interested can be the difference between missing out and getting a call back.” 2. Communicate early Each agent has a different negotiation or offer process. “Waiting too long can work against you. Making your interest known early is a huge advantage.” 3. Be prepared Finance, conditions, deposit structure and settlement preference all matter, sometimes more than the price itself. Even small improvements in your offer strategy can make a big difference. The Mistake Karen Sees Buyers Make Every Week Karen says the biggest buyer mistake isn’t offering too low, it’s hesitation. “The biggest mistake is thinking you’ll have a few weeks to decide. Properties are selling within days.” Speed + preparation = confidence. And confidence is what wins in this market. There’s Another Side Most Buyers Forget: Sellers Are Struggling Too While sellers are achieving excellent prices, many are also navigating the same challenge: Where do we move next? That dual-pressure market is where experience and guidance matter most. Buyers and sellers both want clarity—and that’s where the right agent makes the difference. Why Karen’s Approach is Different Karen is known for: Open communication with buyers and sellers Transparency throughout the sales process Consistent market-leading results A process-driven approach (even when listings are down) Working with repeat and referred clients A genuine local focus - not just transactions “Real estate isn’t a one-off handshake. It’s long-term work, relationships, process and professionalism.” This is exactly why Karen remains one of Perth’s most trusted agents. The Outlook for the Next 6 to 12 Months Karen remains positive about Perth’s property landscape. Despite low stock, rising prices and strong demand, the underlying fundamentals continue to drive momentum: Perth remains more affordable than the East Coast Migration and population growth are surging Demand for coastal lifestyle remains strong Investors and owner-occupiers are competing for similar properties “There’s no sign of slowdown in the short term. Buyers just need to be ready.” Buying in This Market Isn’t About Luck. It’s About Strategy. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing or buying your first home, the right knowledge makes all the difference. And it’s why conversations like this matter. Perth’s market isn’t slowing down. But with the right preparation and support, you can put yourself in the strongest position possible. It has never been more important to stay informed, stay alert and stay ready.
