Tumbulgum Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Tumbulgum? Now could not be a better time, with just 241 residential dwellings it's a highly sought after location. The average property price in this area is in the region of $919,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $152,000 to $7,228,000. Tumbulgum is located fairly close to the coast at just 7Km so as well as great views of the ocean and access to beaches, demand and valuations are likely to be a bit higher here.

Good balance between supply and demand ensures a range of affordable options within budget limits. Recent increases in listings may provide buying opportunities. Low average incomes in Tumbulgum 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 Tumbulgum 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. Low population density implies low demand and limits housing choices and price increases. Could be a good entry point for first home buyers needing to somehow get into the market. Lower than average industry presence in Tumbulgum 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 Tumbulgum a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
