Illawong Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Illawong? Now could not be a better time, with 2876 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $1,879,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $75,000 to $50,689,000. Illawong 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 Illawong driving regular price increases. Recent rapid price increases however may constrain future growth by limiting demand. Incomes in Illawong are above average indicating a preference for good quality housing and lifestyle. That ensures consistent price growth. A mix of professions and above average income earners in Illawong provides good demand. The lower than average housing turnover of these people also means fewer regular listings leading to periodic large price increases. 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 Illawong 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 Illawong a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
