What could go wrong
Prices rose 11.9% over the year — strong +132% over the longer run. (thin market — too few sales to be reliable)
Tight rental market — 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. Wattle Glen grew +5% between 2015 and 2025, and is projected +11% more by 2036.
