The Ballina Shire real estate market has made significant gains since the
price declines in 2011 & 2012.
Some areas have performed better than others but overall the increase
in the median house price over the last 2 years has been in the vicinity of
14%.
There is no doubt that a sustained period of record low interest rates has seen a renewal in buyer confidence which is evidenced by the fact that the volume of residential sales in the Ballina Shire has increased by some 32% over a 12 month
period.
Another positive factor is that over the last 2 years the number of investors buying in the Ballina market has increased
from 29% to 38% of all residential sales.
Below are the details on how various suburbs have performed over the past 2 years.
