Darlington Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Darlington? Now could not be a better time, with just 258 residential dwellings it's a highly sought after location. The average property price in this area is in the region of $486,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $96,000 to $1,342,000. The aproximate distance to the coast is 64 Km.

In Darlington 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 Darlington due to other areas being out of the price range and the trend to working from home, "gentrification" may incease price growth. The high percentage of professional people in Darlington 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. Lower than average population density constrains growth in Darlington 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 Darlington 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 Darlington a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
