Median prices have grown solidly, up 11.7% on the year to $620,000, the highest level in five years.

Buyers include local professionals and health and education staff drawn to Launceston's employment base, along with sea-changers and retirees seeking lifestyle properties in Tamar Valley; renovators are active around Longford and Evandale, and suburbs close to the University of Tasmania campus and the hospital precinct attract investor interest and short-term rental demand.
