The importance of location in family-friendly home building

It’s essential to acknowledge that the location you select for your family home can significantly impact its long-term value. Homes situated in well-established, family-friendly communities tend to possess greater resale potential. This is due to the attractive appeal of a safe environment, proximity to amenities, top-rated schools and a strong sense of community.

According to REIWA, over the past 12 months, Busselton has seen an 8.7% increase in sales growth and a 6.3% increase in rental growth.

The growth in these statistics alone demonstrates that Busselton is an excellent choice for establishing a family home.
