Property prices in this area tend to be more affordable when compared to larger urban centers, making it an attractive option for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The real estate market mainly features spacious blocks of land, often accompanied by character-filled country homes and cottages. This provides ample opportunity for gardening, small-scale farming, or simply enjoying the great outdoors. Properties in Lake Bathurst may not feature the modern amenities of city homes, but the charm of living in a historic area, combined with the surrounding natural beauty, is a significant draw for potential buyers.

Living in Lake Bathurst is largely defined by the serene environment and the sense of community. Residents often enjoy a slower pace of life, with the opportunity to engage in outdoor activities such as hiking, bird watching, or exploring the nearby lakes and reserves.

Thinking about buying in Lake Bathurst? Now could not be a better time, with just 225 residential dwellings it's a highly sought after location. The average property price in this area is in the region of $719,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $140,000 to $1,827,000. The aproximate distance to the coast is 67 Km.

In Lake Bathurst 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. Low average incomes in Lake Bathurst 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 Lake Bathurst 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. Lower than average population density constrains growth in Lake Bathurst to an extent. However, where buyers are willing to compromise on housing and lifestyle choice, there are affordable options. Lower than average industry presence in Lake Bathurst 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 Lake Bathurst a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
