Looking ahead, Highworth’s property market appears stable, underpinned by a solid owner-occupier base and reasonable affordability. The three-year capital growth of 13.3% and annualised rate of 4.2% suggest that, despite recent short-term changes, the market has potential for medium-term appreciation.
Liquidity should remain healthy, given the current median days on market of 47 days and the annual sales volume of 107. Investors should be aware of the area’s demographic skew towards older residents, which may shape both demand and tenant profiles in the coming year. Overall, Highworth offers a measured investment environment with pockets of opportunity for those seeking stable, long-term returns.
