Almost a year ago, we posted the results of RP Data's "Rent or Buy" report which we showed the top 13 suburbs in Perth where the rent is more expensive than it is to buy the house. You can read that article here. Interestingly, this year's report shows 26 Perth suburbs that are cheaper to buy than it is to rent assuming a variable interest rate of 5.4% and that you repay the principal and interest. Mt Hawthorn units start the list a massive saving of $1,197 per month if you were to buy a unit rather than rent. Buying a house in Burswood will save you $693 per month and a house in Coolbellup will save on average $101 per month if you buy.
