The area is predominantly residential, with an array of property types ranging from cozy beachside cottages to modern, upscale homes with breathtaking ocean views. In recent years, demand for properties has increased, partially due to the pandemic-driven shift towards remote work, allowing more people to consider locations like Blue Bay for permanent residence. Despite the rising demand, Blue Bay still offers relatively more affordable options compared to the oceanfront suburbs closer to Sydney, making it an attractive choice for families and retirees.

Living in Blue Bay is characterized by a relaxed, laid-back lifestyle centered around its natural beauty and close-knit community.

Blue Bay Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Blue Bay? Now could not be a better time, with 909 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $1,696,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $298,000 to $11,087,000. Blue Bay 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

In Blue Bay 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. Low average incomes in Blue Bay 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 Blue Bay 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. Lower than average population density constrains growth in Blue Bay 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 Blue Bay 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 Blue Bay a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
