Selling in Como
Local knowledge is the whole game.
Como has spent two decades quietly becoming one of the inner south’s most wanted addresses. The Preston Street precinct hums with cafés and the art-deco cinema, Como Beach gives the suburb its own stretch of riverfront, and street after street mixes original character homes with confident modern rebuilds.
Selling in Como means understanding its micro-markets. River side of Canning Highway carries a premium and its own buyer psychology. The streets around Preston Street trade on walkability. Closer to the freeway, value and convenience drive decisions. The same floor plan can sell very differently three streets apart, which is why comparable evidence, chosen honestly, matters more here than almost anywhere.
I sell across every pocket of Como, and my appraisals come with the specific sales I’m comparing against, so you can judge the reasoning yourself.
The Como market
What sells here, and who’s buying.
The property
Original brick-and-tile homes on full blocks, renovated character houses, quality new builds and a growing layer of townhouses and apartments. Land value underwrites everything: developable blocks attract builder interest while finished family homes compete for owner-occupiers.
The buyers
Young families upgrading from apartments, professionals wanting river-precinct life at a friendlier entry than South Perth, downsizers staying local, and developers watching for the right block.
Matching your property to its strongest buyer pool, then making that pool compete, is the core of every campaign I run in Como.

Como questions
Asked by Como owners.
What’s my house worth in Como?
Como values swing on position: river side versus freeway side, walkability to Preston Street, block size and development potential. An appraisal puts a realistic range on your specific property with the comparable sales attached.
Should I renovate before selling in Como?
Often less than you’d think. Como buyers pay for position and potential; over-capitalising a renovation before sale rarely returns its cost. Part of my appraisal is a short, honest list of what’s worth doing, and what isn’t.
Do developers buy in Como?
Yes. Blocks with the right zoning and dimensions attract steady builder and developer interest. If your property has development upside, the campaign should be structured to make developers and owner-occupiers compete, not to pick one lane too early.
