Lovely Banks Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Lovely Banks? Now could not be a better time, with 1399 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $729,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $318,000 to $2,618,000. Lovely Banks is located fairly close to the coast at just 3Km 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. In this area of average incomes, there is a mix of housing size and quality. While this may present buying opportunities, growth may be constrained. As buyers begin to examine Lovely Banks due to other areas being out of the price range and the trend to working from home, "gentrification" may incease price growth. Low average earnings from people in Lovely Banks leads to lower quality housing which also negatively impacts the provision of facilities. As a consequence this area is often seen as less desirable, with lower quality of housing and slower price growth. High density population in Lovely Banks requires consistent turnover in housing ensuring constant demand. Housing styles may be a mix of low, medium, and high density, providing choice for well-financed buyers and value growth over time. Lower than average industry presence in Lovely Banks 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 Lovely Banks a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
