Mountain Creek Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Mountain Creek? Now could not be a better time, with 5292 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $944,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $281,000 to $11,113,000. Mountain Creek 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.

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 Mountain Creek 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 Mountain Creek 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 Mountain Creek 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.
