Tannum Sands Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Tannum Sands? Now could not be a better time, with 2731 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $635,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $71,000 to $3,132,000. Tannum Sands 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

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. High average incomes in Tannum Sands ensure a focus on quality with a commensurate high entry price under constant demand. Competition for available quality housing is intense with multiple offers likely to be made in excess of asking prices. The slightly lower than average earnings from occupations in Tannum Sands 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. High density population in Tannum Sands requires consistent turnover in housing ensuring constant demand. Housing styles may be a mix of low, medium, and high density, providing choice for well-financed buyers and value growth over time. Lower than average industry presence in Tannum Sands 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 Tannum Sands a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
