Rollingstone Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Rollingstone? Now could not be a better time, with just 119 residential dwellings it's a highly sought after location. The average property price in this area is in the region of $494,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $167,000 to $2,720,000. Rollingstone 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

Good balance between supply and demand ensures a range of affordable options within budget limits. Recent increases in listings may provide buying opportunities. Low average incomes in Rollingstone is reflected in smaller and lower quality accommodation. Over time this may change providsing long-term returns but in the short to medium term, prices are likely to be less than state averages. The slightly lower than average earnings from occupations in Rollingstone 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 Rollingstone 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 Rollingstone 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 Rollingstone a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
