The property market in EX32 0TY is characterised by a high rate of home ownership (66%) and a focus on houses rather than flats or apartments. This suggests a market where long-term residency is the norm, with limited rental activity. The small size of the area means the housing stock is finite, and buyers should consider the limited scope for new developments.
