Gembrook Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Gembrook? Now could not be a better time, with 1159 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $1,144,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $326,000 to $3,122,000. The aproximate distance to the coast is 25 Km.

Prices are above market average and increase steadily under persistent demand. A more sustainable rate of price growth is anticipated in the short to medium term. High average incomes in Gembrook ensure a focus on quality with a commensurate high entry price under constant demand. Competition for available quality housing is intense with multiple offers likely to be made in excess of asking prices. The high percentage of professional people in Gembrook 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. High density population in Gembrook requires consistent turnover in housing ensuring constant demand. Housing styles may be a mix of low, medium, and high density, providing choice for well-financed buyers and value growth over time. Lower than average industry presence in Gembrook 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 Gembrook a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
