Low average incomes in Bourke is reflected in smaller and lower quality accommodation. Over time this may change providsing long-term returns but in the short to medium term, prices are likely to be less than state averages.

Bourke, located in north-western New South Wales, is a town that offers a unique snapshot of rural Australian life. The housing market in Bourke is characterized by its affordability, which is notably lower compared to major metropolitan areas in the state. Typically, potential homeowners and renters can find a range of properties from historic homes full of character to more modern structures, albeit with a relatively limited inventory reflecting its small population size. Despite its affordability, the housing market can be influenced by factors such as economic activities related to agriculture, which is a predominant industry in the region, and governmental efforts aimed at regional development. As a result, property prices might fluctuate based on these economic conditions, but generally remain accessible for many.

Living in Bourke offers a quintessentially outback Australian experience, with a strong sense of community among its residents. The town embraces a slower, more relaxed pace of life compared to bustling cities, making it ideal for those seeking tranquility and a close-knit community environment. Life in Bourke involves engaging in outdoor and cultural activities, with the iconic Darling River offering picturesque views and recreational opportunities. The town is rich in Indigenous history and culture, providing valuable insights and experiences for those who wish to immerse themselves in its heritage. However, it is important to note challenges such as limited access to some services and amenities, which are more readily available in urban centers. Despite this, Bourke provides a supportive community atmosphere and a deep connection to the Australian landscape, making it a unique place to call home.
