Armidale property market trends

Overview

The Armidale property market has seen a significant shift in demand, with interest in units and apartments increasing by more than 120 percent in the year leading up to July.

Real estate professionals suggest this surge is driven by an aging population seeking proximity to the central business district, as well as the development of a renewable energy zone. This new energy sector is attracting first-home buyers and out-of-town investors who are being priced out of larger coastal cities. Data indicates that approximately 40 percent of buyers in the region were not local residents last year.
