Rockdale Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Rockdale? Now could not be a better time, with 10863 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $3,217,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $47,000 to $197,873,000. Rockdale is located fairly close to the coast at just 0Km 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. Low average incomes in Rockdale 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 Rockdale 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 Rockdale to an extent. However, where buyers are willing to compromise on housing and lifestyle choice, there are affordable options. Higher than average industry presence in the wider area offering local employment yet with not a large negative impact on local amenity, provides good demand and price growth.
