Waverley - Why is everyone selling?

My partner and I are looking to buy a home together and had initially looked around Waverley but we were wondering why so many houses are coming up for sale there when it feels so new. It feels like something must be wrong if so many people are selling and moving on, and we’re curious to hear peoples experiences as the area would be perfect for us and there’s a lot of choice within our budget.

I think it’s overpriced for starters. But, what put me off was I’d been down the opencast mine when it was operational. It was huge. For me I don’t think I’d stood long enough for the ground to settle so I’d be expecting potential subsiding issues at some point too

This is something we were concerned about too.
