In the next 12 months, Brixham's property market is likely to remain steady, driven by its appeal to retirees and couples rather than younger buyers or renters. The price-to-income and rent-to-income ratios of 6.3 and 23.6% suggest that affordability will continue to anchor demand at current levels.
While recent capital growth has changed by -7.1%, the 3-year annualised growth rate of 2.9% points to a market that has been quietly resilient over a longer period. Investors should expect ongoing stability rather than rapid gains, especially given the high owner-occupation and older demographic. The rental market will likely remain consistent, supported by the private rented housing percentile of 67 and average yields of 4.2%. Overall, Brixham offers a measured, predictable environment for property investment, with few surprises likely in the short term.
