My office is in Burswood, at 26 The Circus. This is the market I see every day rather than one I drive out to for appraisals.
Burswood works differently to the other suburbs I sell in. It is small, around 2,300 residents, and mostly apartments, sitting on the peninsula between the Swan River, Crown Perth and Optus Stadium.

Why Burswood takes longer
New apartments keep coming through, so buyers usually have a few comparable options to choose from. Campaigns take longer and pricing needs to be right from the start. Sellers who know that going in generally do well. Sellers expecting a Mount Lawley style two week sale can end up discounting when they did not need to. The current average is about 22 days.
What separates one Burswood apartment from another comes down to detail. Which way it faces, whether there is a genuine river or stadium view, what the strata levies are, and how the building is regarded. Two apartments in the same complex can differ by $100,000 on aspect alone.
What your strata report is doing to your price
In an apartment market, the building matters as much as the apartment. Buyers and their advisors read the strata report, and what it contains changes what they will offer. Healthy reserves, a clear maintenance history and no pending special levies all support a price. Unresolved defects or a recent levy do the opposite.
If there is something in your strata history that will come up, it is better to know before you list than to have it surface mid negotiation. It is usually manageable when it is addressed openly and expensive when a buyer discovers it themselves.
My experience in Burswood
My office is at 26 The Circus, so Burswood is the market I watch daily rather than one I visit for appraisals. Over 26 years across Perth I have sold houses, villas and apartments, and Burswood is almost entirely the last of those.
Apartments reward a different kind of preparation. The strata report, the aspect, the outlook and the building’s reputation shape the number as much as the apartment itself does. A campaign that glosses over any of them will underperform regardless of how good the photography is, because the buyers here are comparing against several other options and they read the detail.
Location is the product here
Burswood sells on access. Burswood station puts the city a few minutes away, Optus Stadium and Crown Perth are walkable, and the Swan River foreshore and Burswood Park sit on the doorstep. For the right buyer that combination is the entire reason they are looking here rather than in a cheaper suburb further out.
Unit values have moved 6.8% over the past year, which is more modest than the inner north suburbs nearby. That is a supply story rather than a demand one, and it makes accurate pricing more important here than in a market where scarcity covers for it.
Schools near Burswood
Families search by school, so this is usually one of the first things a buyer checks. Intake boundaries do not follow suburb boundaries and are reviewed from time to time, so confirm your current catchment before relying on it in marketing.

Does my strata report affect what my apartment sells for?
Yes, materially. Buyers and their advisors read it. Healthy reserves and a clean maintenance history support your price, while unresolved defects or a recent special levy will be priced in. It is better to know what is in there before listing than to have it surface during negotiation.
What can I rent an apartment in Burswood for?
Median rent in Burswood is around $835pw. Because much of the buyer pool here is investors, yield often drives the offer more than owner-occupier comparables do.
