Situated by the Tamar River, this area often attracts buyers looking for a peaceful escape with beautiful natural surroundings. The housing market in Kelso is relatively modest compared to urban areas, with a mix of traditional homes and modern developments. Properties here tend to be more affordable, making it an attractive option for first-time buyers and retirees seeking a tranquil lifestyle. The demand for homes in Kelso is gradually increasing, as more people discover the area's scenic beauty and relaxed atmosphere, although it remains a quiet market compared to larger cities.

Residents appreciate the close-knit community feel, where neighbors often know each other and community events are well-attended.

Overall, living in Kelso offers a unique and fulfilling lifestyle that balances the charm of the Tasmanian countryside with the practical benefits of a supportive community.

Kelso Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Kelso? Now could not be a better time, with just 167 residential dwellings it's a highly sought after location. The average property price in this area is in the region of $325,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $17,000 to $899,000. Kelso 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. Low average incomes in Kelso is reflected in smaller and lower quality accommodation. Over time this may change providsing long-term returns but in the short to medium term, prices are likely to be less than state averages. The slightly lower than average earnings from occupations in Kelso 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 Kelso 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 Kelso a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
