Waitara Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Waitara? Now could not be a better time, with 5228 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $1,017,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $16,000 to $17,935,000. The aproximate distance to the coast is 15 Km.

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. 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 Waitara 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 Waitara provides good demand. The lower than average housing turnover of these people also means fewer regular listings leading to periodic large price increases. Lower than average population density constrains growth in Waitara to an extent. However, where buyers are willing to compromise on housing and lifestyle choice, there are affordable options. 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.
