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.

The lower than average housing turnover of these people also means fewer regular listings leading to periodic large price increases. Medium density in Fernhill necessitates a mix of lifestyle options for housing, shops, open areas, and facilties. Where this is available, demand is high and growth ensured. Higher than average industry presence in the wider area offering local employment yet with not a large negative impact on local amenity, provides good demand and price growth.
