Gunn Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Gunn? Now could not be a better time, with 1085 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. Gunn is located fairly close to the coast at just 4Km so as well as great views of the ocean and access to beaches, demand and valuations are likely to be a bit higher here.

Consistent high demand relative to supply is a key feature in Gunn driving regular price increases. Recent rapid price increases however may constrain future growth by limiting demand. High average incomes in Gunn 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. A mix of professions and above average income earners in Gunn provides good demand. The lower than average housing turnover of these people also means fewer regular listings leading to periodic large price increases. High density population in Gunn 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. High industry presence in the wider area is a double-edged sword. While local employment options are high, the presence of industrial buildings may negatively impact lifestyle perception. Demand from first home buyers and investors however ensures good price growth.
