Recent trends highlight an uptick in demand, with people increasingly drawn to the charm and slower pace that The Pocket offers, making it a sought-after locale for both young families and retirees alike.

Low average incomes in The Pocket 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. The slightly lower than average earnings from occupations in The Pocket changes the housing and lifestyle preference. It is more a matter of what can be afforded rather than what would we prefer, leading to slower price increases over time. Lower than average population density constrains growth in The Pocket to an extent. However, where buyers are willing to compromise on housing and lifestyle choice, there are affordable options. Lower than average industry presence in The Pocket 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 The Pocket a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
