AreaSearch assessment of residential development drivers sees a low level of activity in Endeavour Hills - North, placing the area among the bottom 25% of areas assessed nationally

Endeavour Hills - North has granted around 34 residential property approvals per year. Between FY-21 and FY-25, it approved a total of 172 homes, with an additional 7 approved so far in FY-26. The area's population decline suggests that the new supply has likely been keeping pace with demand, offering buyers good choice.

New properties are constructed at an average value of $244,000, which is under regional levels, indicating more accessible housing choices for buyers. This financial year, $6.2 million in commercial approvals have been registered, indicating limited focus on commercial development. Compared to Greater Melbourne, Endeavour Hills - North has significantly less development activity, at 54.0% below the regional average per person. This scarcity of new dwellings typically strengthens demand and prices for existing properties. Recent construction comprises 70.0% standalone homes and 30.0% medium and high-density housing, with a growing mix of townhouses and apartments providing options across different price points. This represents a notable shift from the area's existing housing composition, which is currently 89.0% houses.

The estimated count of 868 people per dwelling approval reflects its quiet, low activity development environment. Future projections show Endeavour Hills - North adding 283 residents by 2041. With current construction levels, housing supply should adequately meet demand, creating favourable conditions for buyers while potentially enabling growth that exceeds current forecasts.
