South Grafton Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in South Grafton? Now could not be a better time, with 4107 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $437,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $16,000 to $16,561,000. The aproximate distance to the coast is 31 Km.

In South Grafton 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 South Grafton 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 South Grafton 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 South Grafton 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 South Grafton 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 South Grafton a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
