Narara Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Narara? Now could not be a better time, with 3936 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $949,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $28,000 to $7,536,000. Narara is located fairly close to the coast at just 9Km 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 Narara 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 Narara 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. 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 Narara 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 Narara a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
