In Darnum there has been a history of lower than average prices and demand, offering opportunities for investors or first home owners, especially in the context of the growth in working from home. Incomes in Darnum are above average indicating a preference for good quality housing and lifestyle. That ensures consistent price growth. A mix of professions and above average income earners in Darnum provides good demand. The lower than average housing turnover of these people also means fewer regular listings leading to periodic large price increases. Medium density in Darnum 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 Darnum 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 Darnum a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
