All About Laverton, WA, 6440

Laverton, located in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia, offers a unique and intriguing housing market characterized by its remote and resource-driven economy. The housing market in Laverton is largely influenced by the mining industry, as the town serves as a hub for the surrounding mineral-rich areas. As a result, housing demand can fluctuate with the cycles of the mining industry. Generally, housing is more affordable compared to larger urban centers, with a mixture of modest older homes and newer builds catering to both permanent residents and transient mining workers. Investment in rental properties is common, driven by the influx of temporary workers who require short- to medium-term accommodations.

Living in Laverton offers a distinct experience, marked by its sense of community and the rugged beauty of the Australian outback. Daily life is deeply connected to the rhythms of the mining sector, and residents are accustomed to the town's fluctuating population. Despite its remote location, Laverton provides essential services and amenities, including schools, a hospital, and recreational facilities. The community is close-knit, often coming together for local events and activities, which fosters a strong sense of camaraderie. Residents enjoy the vast open spaces and natural landscapes that surround the town, with opportunities for outdoor pursuits such as hiking and exploring nearby national parks. Overall, Laverton offers a serene and grounded lifestyle for those who appreciate the tranquility and challenges of living in a remote part of Australia.

Laverton Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Laverton? Now could not be a better time, with 619 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $131,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $61,000 to $249,000. The aproximate distance to the coast is 439 Km.

Consistent high demand relative to supply is a key feature in Laverton driving regular price increases. Recent rapid price increases however may constrain future growth by limiting demand. Incomes in Laverton 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 Laverton 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 Laverton to an extent. However, where buyers are willing to compromise on housing and lifestyle choice, there are affordable options. Lower than average industry presence in Laverton 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 Laverton a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
