Kensington Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Kensington? Now could not be a better time, with 1404 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $885,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $324,000 to $8,501,000. The aproximate distance to the coast is 12 Km.

Consistent high demand relative to supply is a key feature in Kensington driving regular price increases. Recent rapid price increases however may constrain future growth by limiting demand. High average incomes in Kensington 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 Kensington provides good demand. The lower than average housing turnover of these people also means fewer regular listings leading to periodic large price increases. Medium density in Kensington necessitates a mix of lifestyle options for housing, shops, open areas, and facilties. Where this is available, demand is high and growth ensured. Higher than average industry presence in the wider area offering local employment yet with not a large negative impact on local amenity, provides good demand and price growth.
