About Wickham - Carrington - Tighes Hill

With an average age of 34, households expect an average monthly mortgage payment of $1,733 or a weekly rent payment of $440. The average family earns a weekly income of $2,023 with a typical household size of 2.1 and a 97.02% employment rate.

In Islington there has been a history of lower than average prices and demand, offering opportunities for investors or first home owners, especially in the context of the growth in working from home. In this area of average incomes, there is a mix of housing size and quality. While this may present buying opportunities, growth may be constrained. As buyers begin to examine Islington due to other areas being out of the price range and the trend to working from home, "gentrification" may incease price growth. A mix of professions and above average income earners in Islington provides good demand. The lower than average housing turnover of these people also means fewer regular listings leading to periodic large price increases. Low population density implies low demand and limits housing choices and price increases. Could be a good entry point for first home buyers needing to somehow get into the market. Lower than average industry presence in Islington we believe will be less of a negative impact than it has in the past. Post-COVID and the growth in working from home has lessened the demand for local employment options. This may make Islington a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
