Perth home values are down 3.2% from their April peak, but still up 15.6% on a year ago. In this mini episode, Michael Killiner breaks down how existing owners should decide whether to keep, sell or restructure: the marginal buyer question, how to sell well in a market with more stock, and the loan levers that often matter more than your rate, from resetting your loan term and checking your valuation to interest-only expiries, cross-securitised loans, the loyalty tax and whether to fix now.

Days on market in Perth have blown out from 8 days to 21, and sellers are still pricing like it is last year. In this episode, Michael Killiner sits down with Rowen Powell, Director of Verve Buyers Agency, to ask where the Perth market really sits right now and whether we will look back and wish we had bought more property. Rowen unpacks over 7,000 listings, why a 3.7% pullback needs context after 15.6% growth, what makes a compromise asset, and why buyers are holding out for scarcity and forever homes. They also dig into the gap between appraisals and what buyers will pay, the risk of leaning on computer valuations, and what actually wins an offer in Perth today. To finish, Rowen shares where he thinks the market lands in 6 and 12 months, and Michael looks at hold costs and whether forced selling could appear next year. Essential listening for buyers, sellers and investors who want to understand how to make calm, calculated decisions in a wait and see market. 🔔 Subscribe and leave a comment with your questions -- we build episodes around what YOU want to know.
