All About Matcham, Central Coast (NSW), NSW, 2250

Matcham, located in the Central Coast region of New South Wales, is renowned for its peaceful and picturesque setting, making it a desirable spot for those seeking a tranquil lifestyle away from the hustle of city life. The housing market in Matcham predominantly features spacious properties, often encompassing large blocks of land with lush greenery, gardens, and sometimes even horse stables, reflecting its semi-rural character. Over the past few years, the area has experienced steady demand, driven by buyers looking for expansive homes that offer privacy and a serene environment. This demand has maintained a competitive market, although it remains relatively more affordable compared to Sydney's property prices, attracting families and retirees alike who are interested in a more leisurely pace of living.

Living in Matcham offers residents a unique combination of rural tranquility and accessibility to modern amenities. The community is tight-knit, with a focus on outdoor activities, given the area's natural beauty and open spaces. Residents enjoy easy access to the nearby beaches of Terrigal and Avoca, providing plenty of opportunities for water sports and relaxation by the sea. Despite its rural feel, Matcham is conveniently located near Gosford and Erina, where residents can find shopping centers, schools, and healthcare facilities. This makes it an ideal location for those wanting the best of both worlds—peaceful country living with the conveniences of suburban life within reach. The area's sense of community, combined with its natural charm and accessibility, makes Matcham a highly sought-after location for homebuyers wanting a balanced lifestyle.

Matcham Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Matcham? Now could not be a better time, with 527 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $2,960,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $353,000 to $8,853,000. Matcham is located fairly close to the coast at just 1Km so as well as great views of the ocean and access to beaches, demand and valuations are likely to be a bit higher here.

Good balance between supply and demand ensures a range of affordable options within budget limits. Recent increases in listings may provide buying opportunities. 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 Matcham due to other areas being out of the price range and the trend to working from home, "gentrification" may incease price growth. The slightly lower than average earnings from occupations in Matcham 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 Matcham 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 Matcham a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
