Today marks the start of Fremantle Design Week, and as proud supporters of this event, we want to take a moment to highlight the importance of good design—especially when it comes to homes and sale prices.
Eco-friendly design is gaining momentum, and it’s easy to see why. Homes designed with sustainability in mind not only have lower running costs but also offer better natural light, improved insulation, and a more comfortable living environment all year round. Smart design choices such as passive solar orientation, energy-efficient materials, and thoughtful window placements allow homeowners to reduce energy usage while creating a more climatically comfortable home.
A recent sale we handled at 3 Skinner Street, Fremantle is a great example of how exceptional design can enhance a property’s market appeal. The home’s renovation and extension were beautifully executed, with a contemporary design flooded with northern light that complemented the heritage charm of the original home. This thoughtful blend of old and new captured the imagination of buyers and was a standout in the market. The property attracted 48 buyers to the first home open, multiple offers and a strong result.
As Fremantle Design Week celebrates innovation and thoughtful design, it’s the perfect time to reflect on how good design—particularly sustainable design—enhances both the liveability and market appeal of a home, which then can translate into a higher sale price.
If you’re considering a move or even planning some renovations, we’d love to discuss how great design can play a role in your property’s value and appeal.
If you’re considering selling or leasing or would simply like a confidential update on what we could achieve in the current market for your property, please reach out, we’re here to help.
