22 Macartney Street, York WA 6302

York median lags | market slow for exits | age-heavy demand pool | buyer power tilts to you This property carries the cost of a thin local market. The York median for 3-bed houses sits at 530k while this listing asks above it, and with 43 sales this year you face a pool of buyers that skews heavily over 60, meaning future re-sale liquidity may test you. The opportunity lies in the house itself; a circa 1935 double brick with high ornate ceilings and polished floors is rare in any market, and the structure holds long-term value if you hold it as a character weekend retreat or permanent home. Judgement hold if you can negotiate below ask, pass if you need fast equity. The buying case rests on scarcity. This street runs 100% owner-occupied with no renters, which insulates you from turnover noise and anchors a quiet, stable enclave. The 650sqm lot with two car spaces and a wood fire living room offers a lifestyle package that competes directly with Perth fringe options but at a lower entry point for a period home. This serves best the buyer looking for a long-term character hold, not a flipper or a renter-driven investor. the nearest sold comparable sits at 530k median with 14 days average market time – this tells you the search pool is small and patient, giving you room to test the vendor’s timeline rather than rush your offer
