Competition for available quality housing is intense with multiple offers likely to be made in excess of asking prices. A mix of professions and above average income earners in Cottles Bridge provides good demand. The lower than average housing turnover of these people also means fewer regular listings leading to periodic large price increases. Lower than average population density constrains growth in Cottles Bridge to an extent. However, where buyers are willing to compromise on housing and lifestyle choice, there are affordable options.
