Incomes in Lorne 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 Lorne provides good demand. The lower than average housing turnover of these people also means fewer regular listings leading to periodic large price increases.
