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.

It is more a matter of what can be afforded rather than what would we prefer, leading to slower price increases over time.
