    Down Pointer

  • Is it expensive to live in Baldivis?

    The typical local household earned about $2,096 a week at the most recent Census. A median house price of $855,000 in Baldivis works out to about 7.8 times a typical local annual household income, so buying a house sits well above local incomes.

    Looking at renting, the average house rent of $660 a week would take about 32% of that weekly household income, a sizeable share, while an average unit rent of $520 a week would take about 25%, a moderate share. On these figures, renting—especially a unit—appears less stretched against local incomes than buying.

    Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.
