382 - Doubleview Suburb Update ft. Richard Clucas

Trent Fleskens shares a weekly Perth market snapshot, noting steady demand, around 3,000 listings (about half last year), and a “log jam” likely keeping prices rising but tempered by expected interest rate increases. He’s joined by Richard Clucas, the top agent in Doubleview, who explains his agency’s rebrand to “Home” (Home of Hunter McGrath) and his expanded team to better service buyers at busy home opens and protect long-term reputation. They compare 2019’s slower conditions (often 2–3 months to sell, few home-open attendees, about two offers) with today’s heat (around eight offers). Clucas advises sellers not to sell without a place to go, outlines buyer circularity within the area, and updates Doubleview pricing: two-bed flats $700–800k, villas/“triple X” around $1m, single-level duplexes about $1.18m, full blocks north of Scarborough Beach Rd $1.6–1.65m, rear townhouses $1.6–1.7m, street-front townhouses about $1.85m, and a top sale at $5.5m.
