As buyers begin to examine Summerhill due to other areas being out of the price range and the trend to working from home, "gentrification" may incease price growth. The high percentage of professional people in Summerhill 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. Medium density in Summerhill necessitates a mix of lifestyle options for housing, shops, open areas, and facilties. Where this is available, demand is high and growth ensured.

Demand from first home buyers and investors however ensures good price growth.
