Tiny Cockburn 120sqm lot hitting the market at $349,000"},"content":{"rendered":"

A 120sqm block of vacant block of land in Cockburn Central \u2014 the size of six parking bays \u2014 appears to be the smallest current listing on the market.<\/p>\n

The lot takes up the same space as half a tennis court, a third of a basketball court or a single bowling lane. In a sign of Perth\u2019s affordability crisis, the small lot would set you back at least $349,000, which is about $2900 per sqm.<\/p>\n

But, sadly, you would be hard-pressed to find a cheaper block of land in Perth.<\/p>\n

Relatively few blocks in the metropolitan area have sold for under $350,000 over the past six months.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The only suburbs with at least one lot under this price threshold over the past six months include Lakelands, Rockingham, Balga, Baldivis and Beeliar.<\/p>\n

Most of these lots were less than 240sqm in size, with the exception of Yanchep, which was 330sqm.<\/p>\n

The lots may be small but its been a long time since Perth\u2019s standard was a quarter-acre block.<\/p>\n

In 2006, the average lot size at new estates was 550sqm, according to UDIA.<\/p>\n

By mid 2016 the median lot size at new estates had dropped to 390sqm, and it is now slightly smaller at 380sqm.<\/p>\n

Older generations may find these lots tiny, but they are far from the smallest on offer. The record goes to some 80sqm micro lots in Ellenbrook, launched in 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 120sqm block of vacant block of land in Cockburn Central \u2014 the size of six parking bays…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":738328,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[64,63,99,44,4686],"class_list":["post-738327","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-business","tag-news","tag-property"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/738327","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=738327"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/738327\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/738328"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=738327"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=738327"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=738327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
