In Valentine 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. In this area of average incomes, there is a mix of housing size and quality. While this may present buying opportunities, growth may be constrained. As buyers begin to examine Valentine due to other areas being out of the price range and the trend to working from home, "gentrification" may incease price growth.
