Eton Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Eton? Now could not be a better time, with just 488 residential dwellings it's a highly sought after location. The average property price in this area is in the region of $481,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $138,000 to $1,502,000. The aproximate distance to the coast is 19 Km.

Good balance between supply and demand ensures a range of affordable options within budget limits. Recent increases in listings may provide buying opportunities. 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. As buyers begin to examine Eton due to other areas being out of the price range and the trend to working from home, "gentrification" may incease price growth. A mix of professions and above average income earners in Eton provides good demand. The lower than average housing turnover of these people also means fewer regular listings leading to periodic large price increases. High density population in Eton requires consistent turnover in housing ensuring constant demand. Housing styles may be a mix of low, medium, and high density, providing choice for well-financed buyers and value growth over time. Lower than average industry presence in Eton 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 Eton a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
