Why Banksia Grove Outperforms
Banksia Grove is a classic northern growth-corridor success story: young families, high incomes (≈$1,956–$2,018 pw), freeway connectivity, good schooling (Joseph Banks Secondary College ATAR 77, 20% of ATAR students 90+), and a chronic housing shortage. That cocktail is producing rapid re-rating—values pushing ~$705k with evidence of up to 19.7% annual growth.

Banksia Grove Buyer FAQs
Questions every Banksia Grove buyer asks
Is Banksia Grove still affordable?
Yes—compared to Carramar (~$890k), Banksia Grove at ~$705k is still the affordability buffer for this part of the north. That’s why demand is so strong.
Why are growth rates so high (up to 19.7%)?
WA is structurally undersupplied, northern corridor is booming, and Buyers priced out of nearby premium suburbs are landing here. Low stock (13–32 listings) + young families = bidding up prices.
Are there units or villas to invest in?
Not really. This is a detached-housing market. Stick to 3–4 bed houses—they match the demographic and resell better.
What deposit do I need for Banksia Grove?
3-bed at $660,000 → 20% = $132,000 (no LMI). 10% = $66,000 but factor in LMI. 4-bed at $765,000 → 20% = $153,000. WA stamp duty scales up, so budget for that too.
Is the commute too long?
No—~32 mins by car via Flynn → Mitchell Fwy is competitive for a 27km suburb. PT is ~58 mins (bus + train), fine for households that mostly drive.
How competitive is the market right now?
Very. 11–19 day DOM in a suburb with only a couple of dozen listings means you should have finance pre-approval before viewing.
Will the price gap with Carramar close?
That’s the thesis. Carramar at ~$890k vs Banksia Grove ~$705k is a wide gap for suburbs sharing a similar buyer base. If WA supply stays tight, Banksia Grove has room to keep catching up.
Can I get good cash flow here?
Yes—$675–$700/wk rents on ~$700k houses puts you in the 4.7–5.4% band, which is strong for Perth in a growth phase.
