Redhead Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Redhead? Now could not be a better time, with 2441 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $1,395,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $14,000 to $4,690,000. Redhead 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

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 Redhead due to other areas being out of the price range and the trend to working from home, "gentrification" may incease price growth. Low average earnings from people in Redhead 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. With very low industrial sector presence in Redhead 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.
