One of these three suburbs has run $310,000 in 23 months, and it's the one that scores 37 out of 100. Another watched its sellers retreat 21.8% from their own peak asking price, and it wins the night with 75. Morley, Port Macquarie, Boronia, three houses inside one price band, and the score reads the price direction backwards. The harder the price ran, the worse the grade. First and second are separated by 47.6 raw points. The second closest finish in this show's history, and the bridge between a 37 and a 75 is the yield. Show you about segment one, science intro. Welcome, I'm Jacob from Ripe House Advisory. Property investment is a science, and tonight's experiment has a control. All three suburbs sit inside one price band, so the price level explains nothing. The variable under test is direction. In two of these markets, the buyer went to the price. In one, the price came to the buyer, same four layers every time, macro, council, suburb, street, full disclosure, 10th episode running, nobody asked for these three. The request queue is empty, so the platforms follow list pick them. 58 of you follow Morley, 54 follow Port Macquarie, 45 follow Boronia, and all three were already named next in line. You followed them, tonight they get rated. Subscribe if you want your suburb rated with the same street level intelligence the professionals pay for.

By the end, you'll know which suburb got which. Segment two, suburb three, Morley, Waioi. Suburb number three, Morley, Western Australia, postcode 6062 in the city of Bayswater. 58 platform followers, the most followed suburb on tonight's card, and the first from this council ever rated. The sold median has run from 780,000 to 1,090,000, 39.7% in 23 months, and it is still sitting at its peak. Nothing has fallen, watch where the money went. One sentence on the council, same four layers, here's what changed. Bayswater is a demand story, not a supply flood. Population growth at the 81st percentile, up 8.57% in five years, with an average pipeline. 9.56 approvals per 1,000 existing homes, the 51st percentile. Growth is arriving and the shelf is not being flooded. The floor is not the pipeline, the floor is the price. The fundamentals, houses, tonight and all night, and honesty first. No census record exists for this suburb, so no population and no income figure tonight, tenure only. Median sold 1,090,000, up 39.7% in 23 months at its peak. Rent, 775 a week, up 14%. Gross yield, 3.70, down 83 basis points from 4.53. Vacancy, 0.8%, the tightest on the card. Asking, 949,000, just 3.7% off its own peak. The only seller side tonight still holding. 13 days on market, 250 sales in 12 months. The depth receipt, not a direction claim. 59% owner occupied, 23% investor. The rent side chart is the whole mechanism. The rent climbs 14%, 680 to 775, and the yield falls anyway, 4.53 down to 3.70. When the rent rises 14% and the yield still gives up 83 basis points, the price took the whole return. That is what buying your own growth looks like. The buy side shows who still believes the sold line at its peak. The asking line, just 3.7% off its own. Nobody in Morley thinks the run is over. The engine is not so sure. Street level, 10.50 square kilometres, one of six suburbs in the council. The sold price map splits the premium established streets from the lower entry p
