Could a New Costco in Middle Sackville Boost Property Values?

Rumors are swirling about a new Costco potentially opening at Highway 1-1, Exit 2A, Margeson Drive in Middle Sackville, right next to the popular Indigo Shores community. This possible development has raised a key question: What impact could a Costco have on nearby property values?

What the Research Says

Recent research from the U.S. by Silas Kwok found that Costco openings can have mixed effects on property values, depending on factors like population density and household income. While the average impact of a Costco opening across all areas showed no significant change, property values within 5 miles increased by 7.9% in areas with above-average population density and 5.2% in areas with above-average household income.

What Does This Mean for Middle Sackville?

If the Costco rumor proves true, Middle Sackville’s property market could see some notable changes. The Indigo Shores area, known for its suburban appeal and growing population, might fit the demographic profiles that saw property value increases in Kwok’s study.

Here’s what could happen:

  • Potential for higher property values within 5 miles of the new Costco, especially given the steady growth in population and income levels in this area.

  • Increased demand for homes in nearby communities like Indigo Shores, as Costco’s convenience becomes a selling point for buyers.

Why Middle Sackville Could Be Prime for Growth

Costco typically opens in suburban areas where income levels and population are slightly higher than average. With Middle Sackville already seeing development, a major retailer like Costco could attract even more homebuyers, further driving up demand and potentially property values.
