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 Fernbank due to other areas being out of the price range and the trend to working from home, "gentrification" may incease price growth. The slightly lower than average earnings from occupations in Fernbank 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 Fernbank to an extent. However, where buyers are willing to compromise on housing and lifestyle choice, there are affordable options.

Most people are employed in service sectors with a higher than average proportion being able to work from home. This may incease demand over the medium term.
