381 - Alkimos Suburb Spotlight ft. James Bosdet

Trent Fleskens interviews James Bosdet from Professionals Northern Coast on Perth’s northern coastal fringe suburbs including Alkimos, Eglinton and Jindalee, describing rapid price growth, tight supply and rising amenity. James says three-by-two homes that once struggled under $400,000 are now typically $650,000–$700,000+, with an average Alkimos sale around $850,000–$900,000 and Jindalee around $1.2–$1.3 million, including sales above $1 million and a Jindalee record of $2.1 million. They discuss improved access via freeway extensions and new train stations, intense competition with dozens of offers (up to 37) and large over-ask results, limited titled land and block sizes shrinking to about 225sqm, and recent resales gaining about $200,000 in under two years. James attributes demand to lifestyle, replacement costs, and strong buyer inflows, estimating about one-third of buyers are from overseas and additional demand from interstate investors and migrants.
