Marden’s tight supply, strong professional demographic and close-in location keep buyers circling well-held homes; only a handful of houses change hands each month yet they still move quickly, so demand stays elevated. Families and investors chase renovated periods and new duplexes for the schools, shops and transport links, and prices have continued to climb, with mid-single-digit appreciation over the past six months following last year’s double-digit jump. Risks include stretched affordability, sub-3% yields and sensitivity to any interest-rate or credit shift, but scarcity and steady population growth keep the upside intact.
