Good balance between supply and demand ensures a range of affordable options within budget limits. Recent increases in listings may provide buying opportunities. High average incomes in Mckinnon 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 high percentage of professional people in Mckinnon 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. High density population in Mckinnon 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. High industry presence in the wider area is a double-edged sword. While local employment options are high, the presence of industrial buildings may negatively impact lifestyle perception.
