Thinking about buying in Risdon Park? Now could not be a better time, with 2322 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $288,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $29,000 to $1,527,000.

In Risdon Park 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. 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 Risdon Park 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 Risdon Park 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. With very low industrial sector presence in Risdon Park the focus is on lifestyle, driving specific demand around facilities, services, and open space. Most people are employed in service sectors with a higher than average proportion being able to work from home. This may incease demand over the medium term.
