Laidley Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Laidley? Now could not be a better time, with 2599 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $391,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $96,000 to $1,151,000. The aproximate distance to the coast is 71 Km.

Good balance between supply and demand ensures a range of affordable options within budget limits. Recent increases in listings may provide buying opportunities. Low average incomes in Laidley is reflected in smaller and lower quality accommodation. Over time this may change providsing long-term returns but in the short to medium term, prices are likely to be less than state averages. The slightly lower than average earnings from occupations in Laidley 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. High density population in Laidley 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 Laidley 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 Laidley a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
