What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Perth developers are facing financial pressure due to rising construction costs and softening prices in the established housing market. As a result, many are shifting projects mid-cycle to adjust pricing or sales strategies. Steve Jones, who markets 20 projects across 12 suburbs, noted that six new developers approached him in two months seeking help because sales had slowed or pricing was outdated.

Why it matters

Financial pressure on Western Australian developers is escalating due to interest rates, cost of living, construction costs, fuel prices, and federal policy. Construction costs continue to increase the price of new housing, while prices in the established market are softening, creating a widening gap between the two.
