Prices eased 3.7% over the year — strong +88% over the longer run. (thin market — too few sales to be reliable)
Tight rental market, and leasing is picking up — landlords have the upper hand.
New approvals are running below local demand — a supply gap that supports prices and rents.
Population growth is the clearest leading indicator of housing demand. Scoresby grew +14% between 2015 and 2025, and is projected +17% more by 2036.

Hard to justify for a balanced focusEvery figure on Scoresby's page comes from free, public government data — no scraped listings. Some datasets carry a reporting lag (e.g. Census is 2021, ABS releases settle a quarter behind), so read them as a considered starting point, not live quotes.
