Palmers Island Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Palmers Island? Now could not be a better time, with just 295 residential dwellings it's a highly sought after location. The average property price in this area is in the region of $1,283,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $47,000 to $6,134,000. Palmers Island is located fairly close to the coast at just 3Km so as well as great views of the ocean and access to beaches, demand and valuations are likely to be a bit higher here.

In Palmers Island there has been a history of lower than average prices and demand, offering opportunities for investors or first home owners, especially in the context of the growth in working from home. Low average incomes in Palmers Island is reflected in smaller and lower quality accommodation. Over time this may change providsing long-term returns but in the short to medium term, prices are likely to be less than state averages. The slightly lower than average earnings from occupations in Palmers Island 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. Lower than average population density constrains growth in Palmers Island 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 Palmers Island 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 Palmers Island a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
