EGLINTON - TIME for a SEA CHANGE? Perth, Western Australia

[@daze134]

Suburb of the future.

Definitely is. It will be interesting to see how much is will grow in the next year.

Thanks VOTL for featuring the suburb of Eglinton. We just bought a land there and construction is on the way next month. I’m the one asking for this video since last year if you recall. Anyways, thank you and more power guys! Keep on doing what you love.

How much is the land? How much will it cost for building a house?

[@black0hat]

I got a 460sqm corner block for 230k and before it settled the land went up to 245k and now they are selling them for 260k. Overall cost is ~580k. Almost 80k cheaper than the current market price for established home. Very nice area, I'm relocating from Sydney!

@@black0hat thanks for your reply, actually the land is still cheap in Perth, but build a new house is more expensive, due to the labour

@@black0hat in Sydney the land is much more expensive than building a new house

We bought the land 300sq² corner lot in front of future park in Elavale last year for 215k, 265k for Blueprint Homes including upgrades. Scheduled for slab next month, can't wait!😊

[@rvtamor3265]

That's a good deal with both the land and building price. Congratulations on your new home 😎

Thinking of building in eglinton or alkimos, Hopefully they don't let any state housing in these areas, brings in to much trouble, that's what's happening in ellenbrook.

[@vloggersontheloose]

Unfortunately you are correct. State housing always attracts a certain type. The only way to be sure of no state housing is to buy in a private estate as the government is buying land and building houses in most suburbs. The land agent will be able to tell you if state housing is planned or not.

The train station was supposed to open in April but from the video it seems like it won't be complete until end of the year!

[@vloggersontheloose]

The rail is complete but the station does look like it will take some time before its open.

[@swanman1984.]

Opening in July

Those above location you show, how far to the new train station?

[@vloggersontheloose]

From the houses near the beach in Eglinton to Eglinton train station it is about a 5 minute drive. The train station is now fully operational.
