Gerringong Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Gerringong? Now could not be a better time, with 2684 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $1,416,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $135,000 to $15,929,000. Gerringong is located very near to the coast so expect stunning views of the ocean and access to beaches. Demand is likely to be very strong in this location which will support higher prices

Good balance between supply and demand ensures a range of affordable options within budget limits. Recent increases in listings may provide buying opportunities. 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 Gerringong 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 Gerringong 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. Low population density implies low demand and limits housing choices and price increases. Could be a good entry point for first home buyers needing to somehow get into the market. Lower than average industry presence in Gerringong 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 Gerringong a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
