About the Thornlie Property Market

In recent times, house prices in Thornlie have steadily grown while prices for units and apartments have tended to be more stagnant. Rental prices across the board have increased. Overall, the number of homes available for rent is lower than the state average, with more residents choosing to own their home. This suggests there could be some competition among potential tenants, as well as a general desire from people moving into the suburb to buy.

The residents of Thornlie are well spread among the age groups meaning there are people there from all stages of life including young families, families with older children, empty nesters and retirees. Based on data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, many residents work blue collar or administrative jobs, with the median rent and mortgage being below the state average. This demographic may provide good opportunities for investors in the early stages of developing a property portfolio or people looking for a suburb that could be ripe for redevelopment.

As was mentioned earlier, development in Thornlie started in the 1950’s. Construction work on housing estates continued all the way through to the 2000’s, with large parcels of land being developed one at a time. This means that there are a range of house ages and block sizes in Thornlie, with everything from newer units to older homes on 700 m² to 900 m² blocks. This provides a range of opportunities for investors, including the potential to subdivide a larger block, renovate an older home for profit or buy a newer property to rent out.
