Incomes in Baxter are above average indicating a preference for good quality housing and lifestyle. That ensures consistent price growth.

Price growth is ensured even where the state affordability index is negatively impacting other areas. High density population in Baxter requires consistent turnover in housing ensuring constant demand.
