• The market has shown positive longer-term growth, with three-year capital gains at 6.0% and annualised growth at 1.9%.

• Short-term capital growth has changed by -2.6%, indicating some recent price pressure.

Whiteley is likely to remain attractive to families and professionals, given its demographic profile and strong owner-occupation. The combination of stable demand from these groups and a reasonable price-to-income ratio provides a degree of resilience even if short-term capital growth has changed by -2.6%.

Rental investors may continue to find appealing yields, especially in the top-performing districts. However, the local market’s tendency toward negotiated discounts and the recent change in capital growth suggest investors should be prepared for moderate price movement in the near term. Over the next year, Whiteley should offer a balance of income stability and steady, if unspectacular, capital performance.
