Hallett Cove’s coastal setting, access to the headland reserve and established shopping/education hubs is keeping buyers coming, especially families and sea-change seekers chasing lifestyle and stability. House demand rose sharply in the past year and, even with listings taking a bit longer to sell, prices have stayed positive – houses are roughly 7–8% higher than a year ago and the trend over the last six months has been steady-to-moderate uplift. The 12-hectare Roche family oceanfront release with approved allotments points to new development and rental upside, though that pipeline plus the muted unit market are the main supply risks to monitor.
