Western Australia\u2019s economy has grown by 5.7 per cent since the start of the pandemic, the strongest of all the states and almost double the growth of the rest of the nation.<\/p>\n

She says growth is expected to continue, fuelled by strong growth in housing construction, business and government investment.<\/p>\n

Ms Conisbee was last night speaking in Perth<\/a>, at an event organised by the top real estate agent in Western Australia, Vivien Yap<\/a> who owns Ray White Dalkeith | Claremont.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ms Yap organised the event to help people who were confused by what they were reading in the media and for those who wanted to know what\u2019s really happening in the market.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe economic insights have given my clients a sense of confidence in WA. The market is still strong, and our confidence is backed by all this data,\u201d Ms Yap said.<\/p>\n
