Barmera Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Barmera? Now could not be a better time, with 2249 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $290,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $65,000 to $1,352,000. The aproximate distance to the coast is 180 Km.

In Barmera there has been a history of lower than average prices and demand, offering opportunities for investors or first home owners, especially in the context of the growth in working from home. 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 Barmera due to other areas being out of the price range and the trend to working from home, "gentrification" may incease price growth. Low average earnings from people in Barmera leads to lower quality housing which also negatively impacts the provision of facilities. As a consequence this area is often seen as less desirable, with lower quality of housing and slower price growth. Medium density in Barmera 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 Barmera 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 Barmera a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
