Mount Kembla Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Mount Kembla? Now could not be a better time, with just 450 residential dwellings it's a highly sought after location. The average property price in this area is in the region of $1,783,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $471,000 to $8,815,000. Mount Kembla is located fairly close to the coast at just 4Km 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 Mount Kembla due to other areas being out of the price range and the trend to working from home, "gentrification" may incease price growth. A mix of professions and above average income earners in Mount Kembla provides good demand. The lower than average housing turnover of these people also means fewer regular listings leading to periodic large price increases. Lower than average population density constrains growth in Mount Kembla 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 Mount Kembla 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 Mount Kembla a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
