Nelsons Plains Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Nelsons Plains? Now could not be a better time, with just 157 residential dwellings it's a highly sought after location. The average property price in this area is in the region of $1,823,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $159,000 to $4,882,000. Nelsons Plains is located fairly close to the coast at just 8Km so as well as great views of the ocean and access to beaches, demand and valuations are likely to be a bit higher here.

Good balance between supply and demand ensures a range of affordable options within budget limits. Recent increases in listings may provide buying opportunities. 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 Nelsons Plains due to other areas being out of the price range and the trend to working from home, "gentrification" may incease price growth. The slightly lower than average earnings from occupations in Nelsons Plains 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. Low population density implies low demand and limits housing choices and price increases. Could be a good entry point for first home buyers needing to somehow get into the market. With very low industrial sector presence in Nelsons Plains the focus is on lifestyle, driving specific demand around facilities, services, and open space. Most people are employed in service sectors with a higher than average proportion being able to work from home. This may incease demand over the medium term.
