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 Sturt due to other areas being out of the price range and the trend to working from home, "gentrification" may incease price growth. The high percentage of professional people in Sturt classifies the area as "gentrified". This implies high demand for quality housing, generally of larger than average size.
