Port Arthur Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Port Arthur? Now could not be a better time, with just 476 residential dwellings it's a highly sought after location. The average property price in this area is in the region of $347,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $28,000 to $925,000. Port Arthur 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

In Port Arthur there has been a history of lower than average prices and demand, offering opportunities for investors or first home owners, especially in the context of the growth in working from home. Low average incomes in Port Arthur is reflected in smaller and lower quality accommodation. Over time this may change providsing long-term returns but in the short to medium term, prices are likely to be less than state averages. Low average earnings from people in Port Arthur leads to lower quality housing which also negatively impacts the provision of facilities. As a consequence this area is often seen as less desirable, with lower quality of housing and slower price growth. 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. Lower than average industry presence in Port Arthur 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 Port Arthur a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
