Loftus Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Loftus? Now could not be a better time, with 1746 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $1,491,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $557,000 to $6,842,000. Loftus is located fairly close to the coast at just 2Km so as well as great views of the ocean and access to beaches, demand and valuations are likely to be a bit higher here.

Prices are above market average and increase steadily under persistent demand. A more sustainable rate of price growth is anticipated in the short to medium term. Incomes in Loftus are above average indicating a preference for good quality housing and lifestyle. That ensures consistent price growth. The slightly lower than average earnings from occupations in Loftus 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 Loftus 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 Loftus a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
