Mackay Harbour Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Mackay Harbour? Now could not be a better time, with 1033 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $616,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $369,000 to $2,456,000. Mackay Harbour is located very near to the coast so expect stunning views of the ocean and access to beaches. Demand is likely to be very strong in this location which will support higher prices

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. High average incomes in Mackay Harbour ensure a focus on quality with a commensurate high entry price under constant demand. Competition for available quality housing is intense with multiple offers likely to be made in excess of asking prices. The slightly lower than average earnings from occupations in Mackay Harbour 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. Medium density in Mackay Harbour necessitates a mix of lifestyle options for housing, shops, open areas, and facilties. Where this is available, demand is high and growth ensured. Lower than average industry presence in Mackay Harbour 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 Mackay Harbour a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
