Mount Pleasant Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Mount Pleasant? Now could not be a better time, with 560 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $1,549,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $375,000 to $5,612,000.

Consistent high demand relative to supply is a key feature in Mount Pleasant driving regular price increases. Recent rapid price increases however may constrain future growth by limiting demand. High average incomes in Mount Pleasant ensure a focus on quality with a commensurate high entry price under constant demand. Competition for available quality housing is intense with multiple offers likely to be made in excess of asking prices. A mix of professions and above average income earners in Mount Pleasant provides good demand. The lower than average housing turnover of these people also means fewer regular listings leading to periodic large price increases. High density population in Mount Pleasant 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. High industry presence in the wider area is a double-edged sword. While local employment options are high, the presence of industrial buildings may negatively impact lifestyle perception. Demand from first home buyers and investors however ensures good price growth.
