Prices are above market average and increase steadily under persistent demand. A more sustainable rate of price growth is anticipated in the short to medium term. Incomes in Helensburgh 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 Helensburgh provides good demand. The lower than average housing turnover of these people also means fewer regular listings leading to periodic large price increases.
