The director of Sanctuary Lakes and Point Cook Real Estate, Fadi Saad, said he believed that one of the reasons behind Point Cook’s high sales total was its location in Wyndham, one of the fast-growing municipalities in Australia.
“There would be a higher volume of transactions there, equating to more value,” he said.
“I could say that in Point Cook, demand has almost outweighed supply in the past 12 months,” he said.
“People are branching out from the inner west to the outer west, realising they can get more value for money.”
