Laugh Out Loud: The 2025 Perth Comedy Festival Brings the Fun
Get ready to laugh, Perth! The 2025 Perth Comedy Festival is back and bigger than ever, running from 21 April to 18 May across some of the city’s most iconic venues. Whether you're into sharp satire, clever storytelling, or pure silliness, this year’s festival has something for every comedy fan. This year’s lineup is a showstopper, featuring over 70 performances and a stellar mix of comedic talent. International favourites like Adam Kay, Rhys Darby, Tom Allen, Sara Pascoe and Nish Kumar are all set to bring their unique humour to Perth stages. Their world-renowned shows promise big laughs and unforgettable nights. Closer to home, the festival continues to support and celebrate local talent. Special events such as the Perth Comedy Festival Gala, 100% Scottish Comedy, and the WA Comedy All-Stars showcase the incredible performers emerging from our own backyard. It’s a fantastic chance to discover fresh voices and support the local comedy scene. Venues for the festival include crowd favourites like the Regal Theatre, Astor Theatre, The Rechabite and Freo.Social, offering audiences a range of settings to enjoy the fun. Tickets are already on sale through the official Perth Comedy Festival website and authorised partners, so it’s a good idea to book early — some of these acts will sell out fast. With its diverse lineup and electric atmosphere, the Perth Comedy Festival is a highlight on the city’s cultural calendar. Whether you’re going out with friends, organising a date night, or simply in need of a good laugh, this is your chance to see some of the best in the business do what they do best — make us laugh.

Perth’s vacancy rate reaches 2.5 per cent
After years of record-tight conditions, Perth’s rental market is beginning to show early signs of easing. In March 2025, the rental vacancy rate climbed to 2.5 per cent — up from 2.3 per cent in February, and the highest figure recorded since September 2019. While this marks a significant shift from the low of 0.4 per cent seen just a year ago, experts caution that challenges in the market are far from over. REIWA President Suzanne Brown noted that a vacancy rate between 2.5 and 3.5 per cent is considered a balanced rental market. However, she stressed that reaching this milestone doesn’t mean the tight conditions of recent years will immediately vanish. Population growth, though not as rapid as in previous years, continues to put pressure on the system, while rental supply remains about five per cent below the February 2021 peak. Rent price growth is still occurring, albeit at a slower pace than before. A year ago, 95.2 per cent of Perth suburbs saw an increase in median weekly house rent, with 40 per cent recording growth above 20 per cent. This year, that figure has eased to 79.7 per cent of suburbs experiencing rent increases, with the rate of growth tapering off in many areas. Increased supply, especially in outer suburbs like Baldivis, Eglinton, Alkimos, Brabham and Yanchep, has helped moderate the pace. Despite the overall shift, rental conditions still vary widely depending on location. Inner-city suburbs and those near lifestyle amenities continue to experience high demand and low vacancy rates — in some cases under one per cent. These areas remain highly competitive, with multiple applications per property and strong turnout at home opens. Conversely, outer suburbs with a surge of investor-owned new builds are seeing a different trend. In these areas, vacancy rates can exceed three per cent, leading to fewer people at inspections and longer leasing times. Some landlords have had to reduce asking rents to attract tenants. REIWA advises both tenants and property owners to consult with local property managers to better understand the conditions in their specific suburbs. If you'd like to talk about how this will affect your property plans, don't hesitate to contact the team at Bellcourt on 08 6141 7848....
Getting Your Foot in the Door: First Home Buyer Incentives You Should Know About
Buying your first home is a milestone many dream of — but with recent rises in property prices, it can feel more out of reach than ever. Fortunately, a range of government initiatives are available to help first-time buyers in Western Australia break into the market. From cash grants to generous stamp duty concessions and low-deposit loans, these incentives could be the key to getting your foot on the property ladder sooner than you think. The First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) remains one of the best-known incentives. It offers a one-off $10,000 payment for those purchasing or building a new home. Lesser known, however, is that homes that have undergone substantial renovations may also qualify — provided the home will be your primary place of residence. Another bonus: first home buyers may also be eligible for a grant of up to $2,000 from the First Home Buyers Assistance Account, designed to ease the burden of costs like mortgage registration, valuation, and inspection fees. Stamp duty changes are also making headlines. From 21 March 2025, first home buyers purchasing properties under $500,000 will no longer have to pay stamp duty, saving up to $18,000. A concessional rate applies to properties valued up to $700,000 in Perth and up to $750,000 in regional WA, easing the cost of entering the market at higher price points. For those who haven’t yet saved a full 20 per cent deposit or don’t qualify for a traditional home loan, the Keystart initiative offers a great alternative. With loans that require as little as a 2 per cent deposit and no need for lender’s mortgage insurance, Keystart is designed to make homeownership more accessible. As of December 2024, the property price cap for Keystart loans increased from $650,000 to $730,000, and income limits are generous — up to $148,000 for singles and $218,000 for families or couples. The Federal Government also provides support through the Home Guarantee Scheme, where eligible buyers can access loans without lender’s mortgage insurance thanks to government-backed guarantees. Additionally, March 2025 brought news of income and price cap increases for the Help to Buy Program, making it more accessible to a broader range of buyers. While this program’s start date is still pending, it’s worth keeping an eye on for further developments. Whether you’re ready to buy or just beginning to plan, taking advantage of these incentives can make a major difference. With the right information and support, your first home might be closer than you think. If you'd like to talk about how this will affect your property plans, don't hesitate to contact the team at Bellcourt on 08 6141 7848....
Soak Up the Last Subi Night Market of the Season This Weekend
There’s something truly magical about a balmy evening in Subiaco, and the Subi Night Market has captured that magic perfectly over the past few months. Inspired by the lively village squares of Europe, the event transforms Market Square into a buzzing hub of food, music, and community spirit every Saturday night. Whether you’re a Subi local or coming in from across Perth, the atmosphere is welcoming, laid-back, and just the right amount of eclectic. The heart of the market is the incredible variety of food on offer. With over 40 pop-up vendors serving up international dishes, gourmet treats, and Instagram-worthy desserts, there’s something to tempt everyone’s tastebuds. From smoky street eats to vibrant vegan dishes and rich, indulgent sweets, the market is a culinary playground. And for those in the mood to sip and stay a while, the pop-up bar by Spirit of Little Things Gin is a standout—offering a selection of refreshing botanical cocktails to enjoy as the sun sets. But the Subi Night Market is more than just great food. You’ll also find stalls showcasing artisan wares, handmade crafts, and sustainable fashion. Surprise performances and live entertainment weave through the crowd, adding energy and charm to the evening. It’s the kind of place where you can pull up a Parisian-style chair, lay out a picnic rug on the grass, and relax with friends, family, and even your dog (yes, it’s pet-friendly too). This Saturday, 12 April, marks the final market for the season—so if you’ve been meaning to go, now’s the time.
