Low average incomes in Cumbalum 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. A mix of professions and above average income earners in Cumbalum provides good demand. The lower than average housing turnover of these people also means fewer regular listings leading to periodic large price increases.

Lower than average industry presence in Cumbalum we believe will be less of a negative impact than it has in the past.
