Overseas interest in Perth’s property surges – from new sources…

•By Jody Fewster
  • The IMF has upgraded its forecasts for world growth to 3.1% this year, although Australia’s is expected to be 1.4% in 2024 and 2.1% in 2025.
  • With annualised growth coming in at 3.1% for the US – the strongest of any major advanced economy – it doesn’t look like the Fed will cut their rates any time soon. Interestingly, 3.1% is still slower than the 3.8% average global growth over the past two decades (Axios).

  • The Government has quietly abandoned the Significant Investor Visa or “888” which had bought property investors from China.
  • Overseas interest in WA’s property market surged 20% in 2023 with most searches coming from Britain, NZ, USA, Singapore and Indonesia.
