390 - Dianella Suburb Update ft. Daniella Sparta

Host Trent Fleskens interviews local agent Daniella Sparta for a Dianella suburb update, describing a noisy May 2026 backdrop (war, fuel prices, interest rates) but continued demand in Perth despite listings still below 5,000 and about 800 sales a week. They break Dianella into distinct pockets from St Andrews Estate’s multi‑million‑dollar homes to villas and units, noting recent sales from about $850k–$886k at the lower end to $1.75m and above, including older large homes near $1.95m and a first $3m sale. Home open attendance remains strong, but offers are fewer as affordability tightens and sellers’ expectations rise, suggesting a likely six‑month breather rather than price falls. They discuss why locals sell (downsizing/aged care), a $1.2m median after 22% growth, limited cash buyers, proposed development near Dianella Drive, and Dianella Plaza’s underwhelming retail.
