Sales of units and townhouses across Queensland have strengthened further over the last year,
according to the latest Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) data report. Over the March quarter, the preliminary numbers of unit sales in Queensland increased by 2 per cent
compared to the same period last year.
But it is sales in our major tourism centres of Cairns and the Gold and Sunshine coasts that are the real story with sales sky-rocketing over the past year in these areas.
“The popularity of units and townhouses in our major tourist precincts has returned,” REIQ CEO Anton Kardash said. “These areas have experienced the highs and lows of the GFC, and the strength of the Aussie dollar, more than most over the past four years so it is heartening to see them stepping back into the light. Many of these areas have also become more affordable, even those with unique seaside locations, so this is no doubt spurring buyers into action before the tide has turned to the positive completely.”
