BuildingNew Homes

The housing market is evolving rapidly, with rising property prices, changing rental landscapes, and increased demand for new builds. If you’ve been dreaming of building a home, there’s no better time to act than now. Here’s why building your dream home today can be a smart and timely decision.

Why Now is the Perfect Time to Build Your Dream Home

Lock in Today’s Prices Before Costs Rise

The cost of building materials and labour continues to climb, driven by inflation and growing demand. Building your new home now allows you to lock in today’s prices and avoid higher costs in the future. By acting early, you may be able to secure a  fixed-price contract and sidestep the risk of escalating building expenses.

Strong Market Growth and Investment Potential

Property values in Perth and across WA have shown steady growth in recent years. High-demand areas are seeing significant increases in value, making now an ideal time to invest in a new home. By building today, you can capitalise on rising equity and position yourself for long-term financial gains. A home built now is not just a place to live but a valuable asset for the future.

Rising Rental Costs Make Owning More Attractive

The rental market in WA is becoming increasingly challenging, with skyrocketing rents and record-low vacancy rates. For many, owning a new home offers financial stability and relief from the stress of rising rental costs. By investing in your own home, you can enjoy predictable mortgage payments while building equity rather than paying a landlord.

Faster, Smoother Builds with Improved Supply Chains

Recent improvements in supply chain stability and skilled labour availability have made the building process faster and more predictable. Materials are more readily available, and construction timelines have improved compared to the delays seen in previous years. Starting your build now means you can take advantage of these efficiencies.

Lock in a Predictable Interest Rate

With interest rates still relatively low, securing financing now can reduce your long-term borrowing costs. Acting today ensures you lock in a favourable rate, providing financial predictability and minimising the impact of potential future rate increases.

Avoid Hidden Surprises with Older Homes

The limited inventory of existing homes often forces buyers to compromise on features, location, or quality. Older homes can come with unexpected repair costs, such as structural issues, outdated wiring, or plumbing problems. Building a new home eliminates these risks, giving you a fresh start with modern features, energy efficiency, and reduced maintenance costs.

Rising Land Prices: Secure Your Block’s Value Now

Land prices in WA are on the rise, fuelled by strong demand and limited availability. By securing your block and beginning your build today, you can lock in its current value and avoid higher costs as prices continue to increase. With the ongoing land shortage and title delays becoming more common, acting now ensures you stay ahead of these challenges.
