l Low land supply is set to drive prices higher in this northern suburb of Adelaide, according to Margaret Lomas. Salisbury also has strong rental yields, and investors could secure themselves solid returns if they buy in the mid-$200,000s, she says. Ongoing gentrification in the area will also boost its appeal and property prices.
