Located between the Pacific Highway and the Hunter River, Raymond Terrace is a township that was almost destroyed by floods in 1955.
Named after one of the members of Lieutenant John Shortland’s expedition party who explored the area in 1797, and the terraced appearance of the trees, the township now boasts a population of 13,000.
It is home to several quaint historical cottages as well as a number of land developments.
Raymond Terrace was named one of the top 10 locations in regional NSW to purchase property in 2023 according to Canstar’s Rising Stars report.
The report provides a glimpse into the markets poised for property price growth in the year ahead.
It was identified as a promising property location thanks to its sales volumes, price growth, vacancy rates and rental growth, plus infrastructure spending and amenities.
MEDIAN HOUSE PRICE $615,000
HOUSE PRICE GROWTH (LAST 12 MONTHS) 18.96%
MEDIAN RENTAL PRICE $520 per week
Raymond Terrace is a hive of activity most days, with the suburb’s main shopping precinct offering an expanding number of retail and dining options, as well as services and schools.
Its future also looks promising, with rumours swirling of infrastructure developments that would emphasise the town’s relationship with the river.
“It’s a suburb that represents value for money,” says Curtis and Blair Real Estate managing director Jane Blair.
“It has subdivisions like Potters Lane and Chisholm at its surrounds that will draw a new community and better infrastructure, it has accessibility to the Bay and Newcastle CBD, the airport and other regional towns, as well as a variety of eateries and shops.”
