Southern Tablelands property market attracting Sydney investors: HTW

As with the Highlands, there is now a mix of property types in the Southern Tablelands, Goulburn region, according to Herron Todd White’s (HTW) latest monthly market report.

The property advisory firm says that the traditional well located older homes are still sought after, however, there has also been a push for modern family homes.

Land releases are continuing in North and West Goulburn and land sales are increasing in the new and modern residential estates including Belmore Estate, Merino Country Estate and Mistful Park Estate.

The most active market is the $200,000 to $600,000 sector, median $350,000 (up 5% in 2015). There is also good activity in construction of new homes.

Goulburn is rich in heritage architecture and there is good renovation construction activity in these older character homes. An example would be a three bedroom home at 18 Elizabeth Street (pictured above) that is for sale for $385,000.

The main buyer profile is Sydney based investors tapping into their equity as well as tree change purchasers from Canberra.

"In general the region is enjoying a strong level of sales activity, although the top end properties ($1 million plus) are trading at a slower pace then the sub $750,000 market," the report says.
