ERCHED at the top of quaint Agnes street in Beaconsfield the only thing more inviting than this 1903 semi-detached cottage is the elevated view of the ocean. This two bedroom/one bathroom Federation home offers far more than what you would expect from a semidetached, with size being far from an issue.
Skylights Walking through the front door you are greeted with well-preserved high ceilings, decorative roses and jarrah floors which give away its ancestry.

The main bedroom overlooks the classic front timber verandah and a low-maintenance patch of garden.

Most Real Estate agents would suggest spring is the “selling season”, a time where gardens, moods and sales volumes improve. In the middle of winter, it is tempting to suggest a rainy weekend was the reason a buyer was not found. Many sellers consider waiting for spring before re-committing to market hopeful the warmer weather will enhance their chances of a sale. However, according to Stewart Darby, REIWA’s research guru, the notion that more properties sell during spring compared to the rest of the year is a fallacy. Analysis of sales volumes since 1994 for the September to November period each year shows sales activity slowed for eight of the past eighteen spring periods with no change in 1998.
the notion that more properties sell during spring compared to the rest of the year is a fallacy Interestingly, the month of September normally considered the start of improved selling conditions has shown itself as being a poorer performer compared to the other spring months October and November. Since 1994 on only one occasion has September out-performed October and November (September 2008) with every other September over the past eighteen years seeing sales fall. This is probably due, in part, to September having one less selling day than the months either side July, August and October, it

second level to get some ocean views. There’s been a resurgence in love for the outside loo courtesy of Fremantle’s heritage festivals, and this home has one sure to attract attention with its bright red door and arched brickwork.

normally being the month of the AFL Grand Final and the start of the school holidays. With spring not necessarily being the selling season it is purported to be, it is noted that neither is summer. In fact, the greatest occurrence in fall-off sales is in summer with sales volumes dropping comparatively twelve times over the past eighteen years. Consequently, autumn is the season that comes to the fore with sales numbers increasing on fourteen occasions since 1994 during the collective months of March to May. Overall it appears that the Perth property market relatively ignores seasons as a contributing factor to sales activity or median prices. Comparatively, some Sydney and Melbourne markets’ median prices are affected by seasonal sales activity by a surprisingly considerable amount. Here, major economic, political and social factors play more of a role in affecting sales prices and changes to interest rates, population growth, employment levels, consumer confidence and policy stimuli impact more substantially irrespective of the season.
