Upwey Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Upwey? Now could not be a better time, with 3043 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $1,152,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $342,000 to $3,800,000. The aproximate distance to the coast is 22 Km.

Consistent high demand relative to supply is a key feature in Upwey driving regular price increases. Recent rapid price increases however may constrain future growth by limiting demand. High average incomes in Upwey 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 Upwey provides good demand. The lower than average housing turnover of these people also means fewer regular listings leading to periodic large price increases. High density population in Upwey 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 Upwey 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 Upwey a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
