Glenalta Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Glenalta? Now could not be a better time, with 873 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $923,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $591,000 to $1,204,000. Glenalta is located fairly close to the coast at just 9Km so as well as great views of the ocean and access to beaches, demand and valuations are likely to be a bit higher here.

Consistent high demand relative to supply is a key feature in Glenalta driving regular price increases. Recent rapid price increases however may constrain future growth by limiting demand. High average incomes in Glenalta ensure a focus on quality with a commensurate high entry price under constant demand. Competition for available quality housing is intense with multiple offers likely to be made in excess of asking prices. The high percentage of professional people in Glenalta classifies the area as "gentrified". This implies high demand for quality housing, generally of larger than average size. Price growth is ensured even where the state affordability index is negatively impacting other areas. High density population in Glenalta 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. High industry presence in the wider area is a double-edged sword. While local employment options are high, the presence of industrial buildings may negatively impact lifestyle perception. Demand from first home buyers and investors however ensures good price growth.
