I lived in Mandurah, actually just south in Falcon in the late 70s, now living in Cheltenham UK. I remember Mandurah being a sleepy little town population just over 7 thousand, that had remained like that during the 60s and 70s. What happened to it to of grown 12 times greater.
Hi. Thank you for the video, glad you found the 20 Cents, Please spend it wisely , not all in one go ! Jokes aside : Is buying a house better than buying a unit ( investment wise) in mandurah ? Cheers.
It's always better to buy a house but it also depends on your budget and the rental yield. Units usually have strata fees and they can increase substantially if there are problems with the common areas.
We'll add Balga to the list of videos to do. Balga had a stigma years ago due to the large number of state housing in the suburb and the problems that attracts. Most of the state housing has been sold to private individuals and it is undergoing redevelopment at the moment.
They vary depending on the size of the house, what the rental value is and what council you're with. They can be anywhere between $2,000 to $4,000 per annum in Perth suburbs.
It's hard to say as every area does have a few bad apples and Mandurah is a large area. We would suggest that if you're interested in an area that you visit it so you can see how it actually is.
@vloggersontheloose This fabulous video makes me sad since I saw many places of Mandurah where I have been. I road my E-bike (bought it in Freemantel 2012)many times from Dawesville to Mandurah. I fell instantly in love with the most beautiful Indian Ocean, the flora & fauna of WA, I flew to WA from Switzerland for the 1st. x in 2011, to visit my ex ozzy partner, I met online) He just had built a small house in Dawesville, but only 8 kms 2 Melrose beach. Unfortunately, our relationship lasted only 2 yrs & shortly b4 I was 2 receive my permanent visa, (already had paid 5000.AU $.) he cancelled our relationship & in 4 weeks time, I was put on a plane (felt like a criminal) back 2 Zurich. My monthly swiss pension today 2024 is 1800 aud.Not enough for the too expensive AU i heard from ozzies all suffering financially. Thx again for bringing back wonderful memories. 😢😢😢 This is now 10 years ago and regardless what people did 2 me (I'm bi-racial ) I flew every yr. to visit WA again. Only Covid stopped me, but I chose 2 visits, Sydney & the NSW area. This year, I hope to fly again 2 WA, but finding a reasonable place 2 stay for 5 weeks & not fat from the Indian Ocean in the Mandurah area, will be 2 expensive this time. 🇨🇭 ❤ 🇦🇺

Can you do a video on Balga please! Why is it so cheap? Love the videos as we are planning a move from Sydney. Very informative. 👍🏼

Any idea what council rates are in Perth?
They vary depending on the size of the house, what the rental value is and what council you're with. They can be anywhere between $2,000 to $4,000 per annum in Perth suburbs.
Is there a housing commission in Mandurah?
Yes - they are scattered throughout the suburb.
Yes, check out Coodanup
Dear Ivor, Which Surbub do you live please? You can make a program on it if it is possible. Thank you
We're in the northern suburbs near the Swan Valley. We'll do some more suburbs in this area.
Great Video…Which areas of Mandurah to avoid?

Lerant a new word today "moor your boat"😊
Mooring your boat means to park your boat 😎
Looks like a mini/compact version of Perth
Yes - it does have everything there.
Hope you spent your 20 cents wisely
