In Dunoon 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 Dunoon 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 Dunoon provides good demand. The lower than average housing turnover of these people also means fewer regular listings leading to periodic large price increases. Medium density in Dunoon 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 Dunoon 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 Dunoon a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
