Competition for available quality housing is intense with multiple offers likely to be made in excess of asking prices. The high percentage of professional people in Balgowlah Heights classifies the area as "gentrified". This implies high demand for quality housing, generally of larger than average size. Price growth is ensured even where the state affordability index is negatively impacting other areas.
