Looking ahead, Galleywood’s property market is likely to remain stable, supported by a mature resident base and a high rate of owner-occupation. Price growth is expected to continue at a moderate pace, given the 8.8% change over three years and the steady annualised rate of 2.8%.
Rental yields in the top postcode district are attractive at 5.8%, but the limited number of private renters may cap future rental growth. Investors should expect a slow-moving market, with homes typically taking 67 days to sell.
