Coral Sea Real Estate Market Outlook
Thinking about buying in Coral Sea? Now could not be a better time, with just 290 residential dwellings it's a highly sought after location. The average property price in this area is in the region of $488,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $279,000 to $748,000. Coral Sea 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 Coral Sea 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 Coral Sea 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 Coral Sea 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 Coral Sea 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 Coral Sea 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 Coral Sea a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
