  "summary": "Perth house buyers are shifting their priorities from coastal views to larger properties with more amenities. They are opting for bigger land parcels, pools, and workshops in outer suburbs such as Kalamunda and Mundaring, driven by a desire for value. This trend is reported by The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.\n\nThe change in preferences is leading buyers to abandon traditional beachside locations for areas further inland.\n\nThere is no connection between this real estate trend and a separate event: a 13-metre humpback whale carcass was recently removed from City Beach in Perth.",
