Thinking about buying in Hawker? Now could not be a better time, with 1633 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $876,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $149,000 to $8,634,000. The aproximate distance to the coast is 114 Km.

Good balance between supply and demand ensures a range of affordable options within budget limits. Recent increases in listings may provide buying opportunities. Incomes in Hawker are above average indicating a preference for good quality housing and lifestyle. That ensures consistent price growth. The slightly lower than average earnings from occupations in Hawker changes the housing and lifestyle preference. It is more a matter of what can be afforded rather than what would we prefer, leading to slower price increases over time. Lower than average population density constrains growth in Hawker to an extent. However, where buyers are willing to compromise on housing and lifestyle choice, there are affordable options. Lower than average industry presence in Hawker 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 Hawker a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
