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.

The slightly lower than average earnings from occupations in Bakers Creek 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. Medium density in Bakers Creek necessitates a mix of lifestyle options for housing, shops, open areas, and facilties. Where this is available, demand is high and growth ensured. Lower than average industry presence in Bakers Creek we believe will be less of a negative impact than it has in the past.
