Gray is one of Palmerston's original suburbs and, for many people, the first step onto the property ladder. It offers a mix of established houses and unit complexes within easy reach of Palmerston's city centre, schools and sporting facilities.

Who buys in Gray

Gray attracts first-home buyers, downsizers who want a low-maintenance unit close to everything, and investors who value the rental demand that comes with a central Palmerston location. Well-kept units with two car spaces and houses with a shed or a pool are the quickest to sell.

Selling in Gray

In Gray the competition is often other units in the same complex or similar houses on the same street, so buyers compare closely. Fresh paint, working air conditioning, tidy common areas and clear body corporate information for units all help a Gray property stand out. We price every Gray campaign against the suburb's most recent comparable sales and present each home properly, whatever the price point.
