Tighes Hill Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Tighes Hill? Now could not be a better time, with 1136 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $1,033,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $175,000 to $3,947,000. Tighes Hill is located fairly close to the coast at just 0Km so as well as great views of the ocean and access to beaches, demand and valuations are likely to be a bit higher here.

In Tighes Hill 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 Tighes Hill due to other areas being out of the price range and the trend to working from home, "gentrification" may incease price growth. A mix of professions and above average income earners in Tighes Hill provides good demand. The lower than average housing turnover of these people also means fewer regular listings leading to periodic large price increases. 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 Tighes Hill 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 Tighes Hill a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
