Sandgate Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Sandgate? Now could not be a better time, with 3231 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $1,105,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $352,000 to $6,074,000. Sandgate 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 Sandgate 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 Sandgate 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 Sandgate 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 Sandgate 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 Sandgate a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
