A word from Mark ...
“Victor Harbor and the Fleurieu Peninsula have been identified as being among Australia’s hottest real estate markets and strongest population growth centres between now and 2050 so it’s a very exciting time for the region. The National Sea Change Task Force suggests our local population will swell from 40,000 currently to about 150,000 by 2050 and projects worth more than half a billion dollars are currently proposed to support that growth.
“I am very excited by the potential of the region, the real estate market across the Fleurieu Peninsula and the team we have at Brock Harcourts Victor Harbor. Together, we look forward to sharing this exciting future with our clients and the wider community.” |
