All About Gormanston, West Coast, TAS, 7466

Gormanston, located on the West Coast of Tasmania, presents a unique perspective on the housing market, reflective of its remote and historic character. As a former mining town, Gormanston's housing scene is defined by its affordability, with properties often priced much lower than in urban centers. The market primarily consists of older homes, some of which offer a quaint charm reminiscent of the town's early 20th-century origins. Buyers interested in Gormanston can find opportunities for investment, as the area holds potential for development, especially with the increasing interest in Tasmania's untouched landscapes. However, the limited availability of properties means the market can be quite competitive despite its small size, attracting those looking to escape the bustling city life for a quieter, more rural setting.

Living in Gormanston offers a stark contrast to urban living, with its tranquil environment and scenic vistas of mountains and forests. The town is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, given its proximity to the rugged wilderness of the West Coast, which provides opportunities for hiking, fishing, and exploring Tasmania's natural beauty. Community life in Gormanston is closely knit, with residents often engaging in local events and traditions, fostering a sense of camaraderie. However, due to its remote location, amenities such as shopping, dining, and healthcare are limited, requiring residents to travel to nearby towns like Queenstown for more comprehensive services. Despite these challenges, the slower pace and tight-knit community appeal to those yearning for simplicity and a connection to nature.

In Gormanston 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. 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 Gormanston 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 Gormanston 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. Medium density in Gormanston 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 Gormanston 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 Gormanston a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
