The average property price in this area is in the region of $951,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $188,000 to $7,567,000. Scarborough 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

Prices are above market average and increase steadily under persistent demand. A more sustainable rate of price growth is anticipated in the short to medium term. Incomes in Scarborough are above average indicating a preference for good quality housing and lifestyle. That ensures consistent price growth. A mix of professions and above average income earners in Scarborough provides good demand. The lower than average housing turnover of these people also means fewer regular listings leading to periodic large price increases.

Higher than average industry presence in the wider area offering local employment yet with not a large negative impact on local amenity, provides good demand and price growth.
