Looking ahead, the market in Kearsley seems poised for continued activity, given the brisk sales pace of 34 days and the fact that properties are achieving their asking prices. The combination of strong rental yields and notable capital growth, especially with annualised returns of 7.6%, suggests that both income-focused and growth-oriented investors have reasons to be optimistic.
Affordability metrics remain attractive, which should help maintain a steady flow of buyers and tenants. While the local workforce is less dominated by professionals and graduates, the broad appeal to families and single occupiers supports ongoing demand. Overall, the next 12 months look promising for those seeking a balanced mix of income and potential for further price growth.
