Strathfieldsaye Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Strathfieldsaye? Now could not be a better time, with 3376 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from.

Consistent high demand relative to supply is a key feature in Strathfieldsaye driving regular price increases. Recent rapid price increases however may constrain future growth by limiting demand. High average incomes in Strathfieldsaye 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. A mix of professions and above average income earners in Strathfieldsaye provides good demand. The lower than average housing turnover of these people also means fewer regular listings leading to periodic large price increases. Medium density in Strathfieldsaye necessitates a mix of lifestyle options for housing, shops, open areas, and facilties. Where this is available, demand is high and growth ensured. Lower than average industry presence in Strathfieldsaye 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 Strathfieldsaye a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
