Olinda Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Olinda? Now could not be a better time, with 1123 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $1,428,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $462,000 to $3,886,000. The aproximate distance to the coast is 28 Km.

Consistent high demand relative to supply is a key feature in Olinda driving regular price increases. Recent rapid price increases however may constrain future growth by limiting demand. High average incomes in Olinda 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. A mix of professions and above average income earners in Olinda provides good demand. The lower than average housing turnover of these people also means fewer regular listings leading to periodic large price increases. Medium density in Olinda 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 Olinda 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 Olinda a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
