  • Interest rate and lending sensitivity — like all property markets, local prices and buyer activity can be affected by changes in interest rates and lending conditions.
  • Low-lying coastal location — Bonbeach sits within an area addressed by the City of Kingston's Coastal and Marine Management Plan, which considers coastal hazards such as storm tide inundation over the longer term; buyers should review current council and state coastal hazard mapping for any specific property.
