“All of these council areas have a strong economic base, which means that if you choose to move into these areas, you’re even more likely to get a job, and when you combine it with what’s going on in the region from an investment perspective, it shows that these areas should continue to grow in value,” she said.

“The growth in all these areas has doubled, and that’s positive.

“Currently, we are dealing with a period of higher interest rates – despite the growth in value, there are possibilities that we may continue to encounter, but if we get three to four cash rates, you’ll see a stronger growth in growth.”

Renmark Paringa Mayor Peter Hunter said the property market was strong and the outlook for the region was positive.

“We have developed a growth plan that identifies areas where we think we need to release housing, with three to four of them going to open up a large number of lots in the near future,” he said.

“One of them is a major project – Jane Eliza Development – ​​the project will have over 800 houses with medium to long-term prospects, and our growth is very reasonable compared to other towns.

“It’s been a long way and we believe we have a strong future.”
