ROOTS N’ Real estate: EASTERN HEIGHTS
Ipswich! Did you know well maintained trees can boost your property value?
Eastern Heights is enjoying a notable property boom. As of mid-2025, the median house price sits at $690,000, marking an impressive 20% growth in the past 12 months, with homes typically selling in just 15 days. Other data sources report a median house price of $698,500, corroborating the suburb’s rapid appreciation (realestate.com). In such a hot market, well-maintained trees aren't just green adornments — they’re real assets that can make a significant difference in perceived and actual property value.
Across numerous studies, healthy, well-placed trees have been shown to increase property values by 3% to 20%. For instance, the University of Washington found that well-maintained trees can boost value by up to 20%. This shows that mature trees not only provide shade, privacy, aesthetic appeal, energy savings, and environmental benefits, they put more money in your pocket.
Why Eastern Heights Literally Sells for Its Trees
Eastern Heights appeals to buyers who want charm, leafy streets, and quick access to Ipswich’s urban hub. Well-cared-for trees elevate that appeal in seven powerful ways:
Instant Curb Appeal: Trees frame character homes beautifully, giving an inviting first impression.
Privacy and Screening: Strategically placed canopy shields homes from neighbours and roads.
Emotional Resonance: Mature trees evoke sense of a stable, cared-for home.
Pro Tips: Smart Tree Care for Eastern Heights Homes
Annual Arborist Check-Up – Especially ahead of storms when preemptive health checks pay off.
Plant Wisely – Choose low-maintenance, non-invasive natives like Water Gum or Queensland Brush Box.
No DIY Pruning – Incorrect cuts weaken trees and risk long-term damage.
Mulch and Deep Water – Protect roots during dry spells.
Remove Wisely – Take out dying or root-invasive trees early to avoid costly damage or safety risks.
