All About Strahan, West Coast, TAS, 7468
Strahan, located on the west coast of Tasmania, is a quaint and picturesque town, known for its stunning natural beauty and historical significance. The housing market in Strahan has been relatively stable, characterized by a modest selection of properties ranging from charming heritage homes to more modern residences. Due to its remote location and smaller population, real estate in Strahan tends to be more affordable compared to larger Tasmanian cities like Hobart or Launceston. However, there's been a growing interest in properties as people seek quieter, scenic locations for vacation homes, retirement, or even remote work, which has gradually increased demand.
Living in Strahan offers a unique blend of tranquility and adventure. The town is surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, including the renowned World Heritage Wilderness Area and Macquarie Harbour. Residents enjoy a relaxed lifestyle enriched by a strong sense of community. Strahan’s economy is primarily driven by tourism, which provides both business opportunities and job prospects. The pace of life is slower, fostering a close-knit community atmosphere where neighbors often know one another. With local amenities such as small shops, cafes, and outdoor activities like fishing, hiking, and exploring the nearby national parks, Strahan promises a serene and enriching life away from the hustle and bustle of urban centers.

Strahan Real Estate Market Outlook
Thinking about buying in Strahan? Now could not be a better time, with 764 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $277,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $13,000 to $1,977,000. Strahan 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 Strahan 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. 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 Strahan due to other areas being out of the price range and the trend to working from home, "gentrification" may incease price growth. The slightly lower than average earnings from occupations in Strahan changes the housing and lifestyle preference. It is more a matter of what can be afforded rather than what would we prefer, leading to slower price increases over time. Medium density in Strahan 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 Strahan 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 Strahan a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
