Jingili’s up there with most in-demand Aussie suburbs
NEW data has revealed Jingili, Stuart Park, Anula, Girraween, Virginia and McMinns Lagoon are some of the nation’s most indemand suburbs.
The team at realestate.com.au has crunched the numbers and found the up-and-coming areas to watch, based on the surge in demand demonstrated by views per listing over the past quarter.
“These are suburbs that have been relatively unpopular but which have become far more popular over the last quarter,” realestate.com.au chief economist Nerida Conisbee explained.
Ms Conisbee said the suburb that had the highest jump last year was Margate in Tasmania, which simultaneously recorded a 20 per cent price growth in the same period – more than double the growth experienced in Hobart, which was already growing at a significant rate.
Realestate.com.au’s latest Property Outlook report, released in October, showed demand for property in the Territory’s capital had risen by a significant 11.8 per cent over the past year, with demand rising 10.7 per cent and 10.8 per cent for houses and apartments respectively. The report revealed the most in-demand suburb for all property types in Darwin was Jingili. Nightcliff topped the list for houses, followed by Fannie Bay, Tiwi, Jingili and Alawa.
The most popular suburb for apartment hunters was Fannie Bay, followed by Bayview, Stuart Park, Leanyer and Rapid Creek.
“Although it is looking promising, it is a little too early to call that the market is taking off but it certainly is a positive sign that more people are interested in the Darwin market and things are starting to turn around,” Ms Conisbee said.
