Supply vs. buyer demand 

Buyer demand is rising in areas offering lifestyle appeal and relative affordability.

Suburbs close to nature or the coast continue to attract interest, while limited stock and tight rental vacancies are keeping pressure on supply across much of the state. 

“We're seeing strong buyer interest across Tasmania, and it's driven by a mix of factors like lifestyle appeal, affordability, investment potential, and access to nearby cities. Suburbs offering that balance are standing out in today's market.” - Leigh Nosworthy, Aussie Franchisee, Kingston
