Consistent high demand relative to supply is a key feature in Woolloomooloo driving regular price increases. Recent rapid price increases however may constrain future growth by limiting demand. High average incomes in Woolloomooloo 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. The high percentage of professional people in Woolloomooloo 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.
