Median house prices in Corinella rose 40.4% in 2015 and thus far 12.61% in 2016 but note that it is a relatively thin market with approximately 80 properties sold over that period.

Heritage Bay will become a thriving, welcoming community of fulltime residents, young families, commuters, holidaymakers and retirees nestled within Corinella. Its proximity to other wonderful coastal and rural towns as well as Melbourne makes it extremely attractive to those seeking life by the sea.

The Housing Industry Association alerted in its most recent report that new housing supply has fallen short of demand for many years, making affordability an ongoing problem.  With Australia’s population forecasted to reach somewhere between 34 million and 42 million by 2050, the situation is set to become critical. Shane Blackwood, Finance Manager at LandGipps, says that LandGipps sees itself as part of the solution. “By sourcing the best parcels of land in the most liveable places in Gippsland, we are creating new opportunities for homes to be built.  In many cases, we are releasing land where there has been none available for significant periods of time. We are in a position to continue sourcing large land parcels and cover the […]
