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 Highfields due to other areas being out of the price range and the trend to working from home, "gentrification" may incease price growth. The high percentage of professional people in Highfields 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.
