Kellevie is a smaller community of 185 — about 5% of the Tasmania suburb median (3,902) — so investors should factor in the narrower buyer pool and longer average time-on-market. Households here earn $81,224/year on average — 10% above the TAS suburb median of $73,944 — a modest premium that supports resilient owner-occupier demand. At 40 km from Hobart, Kellevie is an outer-metro location where buyers are typically trading commute time for floor space and a lower entry price.
