Rowville Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Rowville? Now could not be a better time, with 14196 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $1,315,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $330,000 to $4,661,000. The aproximate distance to the coast is 13 Km.

Consistent high demand relative to supply is a key feature in Rowville driving regular price increases. Recent rapid price increases however may constrain future growth by limiting demand. High average incomes in Rowville ensure a focus on quality with a commensurate high entry price under constant demand. Competition for available quality housing is intense with multiple offers likely to be made in excess of asking prices. The high percentage of professional people in Rowville classifies the area as "gentrified". This implies high demand for quality housing, generally of larger than average size. Price growth is ensured even where the state affordability index is negatively impacting other areas. High density population in Rowville requires consistent turnover in housing ensuring constant demand. Housing styles may be a mix of low, medium, and high density, providing choice for well-financed buyers and value growth over time. Lower than average industry presence in Rowville 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 Rowville a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
