The power of women

In celebration of International Women's Day 2024, Noble Avenue Real Estate shines a spotlight on a few of the incredible women who are integral to our success. Their stories of resilience, growth, and collaboration offer a unique glimpse into the heart of our industry and the values that define us in Perth's dynamic real estate landscape. Triumph Over Adversity: Karen Riches' Story Karen Riches, celebrated as Carine's #1 Sales Representative for over a decade, provides a raw and honest account of her journey in real estate. Starting young allowed her to establish a solid foundation, but her path wasn't devoid of challenges, particularly during her pregnancies and early motherhood. "I feel very blessed to work in the real estate industry, doing a job I love. Yet, as a woman, there were extra challenges," Karen explains. She recalls the pressure to conceal her pregnancy to avoid professional disadvantages. "I felt I had to hide my pregnancy to prevent others from using it as leverage against me with potential sellers (which they did)." To every woman who has navigated the complexities of the real estate industry while embracing the journey of motherhood, your strength and resilience are truly commendable. Karen continues to express her experiences stating, "Giving birth on a Monday and getting back to work the next day was insane, but at that time, we felt we had no other choice," she recounts "I didn’t want to let my clients down". "Once I had my first child, trying to balance working and being a new mum was very exhausting, it was a really tough time and most nights I only had 2-4 hours sleep, working late at night between feedings". Over time, Karen found a harmonious balance. "After my second child, things changed for the better. With the support of my amazing EA and the flexibility at Noble Avenue, I've achieved a work-life balance I'm truly proud of." Today, Karen's professional life is as fulfilling as her personal life, a balance she describes as her greatest achievement. Her story is a beacon for change in the industry, demonstrating that with the right support and adjustments, women can excel in their careers without sacrificing their family life. "I'm the happiest I've ever been, feeling blessed to continue performing at a high level while enjoying precious moments with my children," she shares. Karen's journey resonates with resilience, evolution, and the joy of finding that elusive balance between a demanding career and a rewarding personal life. Her experiences, both challenging and uplifting, offer invaluable insights and inspiration to women navigating their paths in the real estate industry. To each woman in the real estate industry who has walked this path – your resilience, your achievements, and your unwavering commitment are worth celebrating. Cultivating Leadership with Jane Lambert Jane Lambert, our Operations Manager, stands as a cornerstone of Noble Avenue Real Estate, embodying visionary leadership that significantly shapes our agency's success. Her leadership journey, deeply influenced by Emma Issac's, "The New Hustle: Don’t Work Harder, Just Work Better" (a worthwhile read), showcases a profound commitment to fostering a culture of connection, understanding, and mutual growth. Jane's approach to leadership transcends conventional practices, focusing on empowering team members and cultivating an environment where every voice is heard and valued. As a mother, Jane brings a unique perspective to her leadership style, integrating compassion, resilience, and adaptability—qualities that resonate deeply within our team and contribute to a supportive and dynamic work environment. Her ability to balance professional excellence with her responsibilities at home is nothing short of inspiring, offering a powerful model of leadership that embraces both career and family. Beyond her professional life, Jane finds balance and rejuvenation through early morning Pilates and swimming with her children. These activities not only recharge her but also reflect the ethos of Noble Avenue—where family and well-being are paramount. Jane's inspiration stems from working under the Noble Avenue brand, particularly witnessing the powerful synergy among women real estate business owners. This collaborative spirit, she notes, is not just inspiring but transformative for the industry, proving that collective strength often outshines individual prowess. Empowerment and Flexibility: Stephanie Batho's Perspective Stephanie Batho, the executive assistant to Karen Riches, mirrors the sentiment of empowerment and adaptability. Observing Karen's ability to juggle a successful career and motherhood has been a source of inspiration. Stephanie, a triathlon enthusiast, appreciates the flexible working hours Noble Avenue offers, enabling her to pursue her passions and be present for her children. Her insights into habit formation, inspired by "Atomic Habits" by James Clear, resonate with our corporate culture—emphasising continuous improvement, both personally and professionally. A Unified March Towards Excellence As we celebrate International Women's Day, we salute the incredible journeys and successes of Noble Avenue's women. Their narratives inspire and chart a path toward a more inclusive, supportive, and thriving real estate industry in Perth. Join us in celebrating these stories of empowerment and progress. Together, let's nurture an environment where women flourish, lead, and inspire, driving a brighter and more equitable future in real estate.

2024 Perth Property Market Predictions

As we stride into 2024, Noble Avenue Real Estate presents an insightful look into the Perth property market. 2023 has been a defining year, setting the stage for the trends we anticipate in the year ahead. 2023: A Year of Resilience Despite challenges such as rising interest rates, Perth's property market showed remarkable growth and resilience.We witnessed record times in median sale periods, record lows in property listings, significant price growth, rising rents, and a trend of robust demand outpacing supply. This impressive performance in the face of economic challenges highlights the enduring strength and appeal of the Perth real estate market. Key Statistics from 2023: Median house price set new records. Median time to sell a property reached a swift eight days. The number of properties for sale plummeted to a record low of 3,648 at year-end. Predictions for 2024 Looking forward, we foresee a continuation of this growth trend. The market, adapting to the changing economic landscape, is poised to offer new opportunities for investors and homeowners alike, maintaining its vibrant and dynamic character. “With WA’s population growing 2.8 per cent in the year to March, the most growth in the country, the appetite for WA property is strong and likely to remain this way for some time",  “Houses are selling like hotcakes and the number advertised on www.reiwa.com hit a 30-year low of 4,931 at the end of September, well below the 12,000 that is considered a balanced market," said REIWA CEO Cath Hart. Median House Prices: Perth house prices are set to grow 10 per cent in 2024, according to REIWA’s 2024 property market quarterly update. Market Drivers: Economic Dynamics: WA's economy, forecasted to grow by 4.25%, and is attracting investors and first-home buyers. Population Growth: High population growth and low unemployment rates are fuelling market demand. Building Completions: There is a significant gap between population growth and new home completions, with a shortfall of over 20,000 dwellings, continues to exert upward pressure on established home prices in WA. Affordability and Rental Yields: Perth's relative affordability and high rental yields continue to attract market interest. These elements combined create a conducive environment for sustained growth in Perth's property market. “Demand is high and supply is low. This is unlikely to change in the future, maintaining upward pressure on prices,” said REIWA CEO Cath Hart. The Resilience and Growth of Perth's House Prices In 2023, Perth's property market displayed remarkable growth and resilience, with the median house price surpassing projections to reach $590,000. “This is a new record for Perth house prices", REIWA CEO Cath Hart said. Throughout the year, median house prices are projected to steadily increase, peaking mid-year, and then achieving stability. The Role of Real Estate Agents In this evolving landscape, the expertise of seasoned Perth real estate agents, such as Linda Noble, Brett Moore, Karen Riches, Jay Dass and Vince Epps from Noble Avenue Real Estate, becomes invaluable. From navigating market fluctuations to understanding the nuances of Perth property sales, agents play a pivotal role in facilitating successful transactions.
