The median price of units and townhouses across South East Queensland grew over the December quarter, according to the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ).
The REIQ’s latest Queensland Market Monitor (QMM), released 28 February 2014, also found the preliminary numbers of unit sales increased six per cent over the year.
REIQ CEO Anton Kardash said the unit market was continuing to improve in-line with the house sales market – albeit centred around the southeast corner.
“A key difference between the Queensland house and unit markets is that predominantly the lion’s share of these types of properties are located in the southeast as that is where demand for housing is the greatest,’ he said.
“In fact, demand for units in Brisbane has resulted in record numbers of off-the-plan sales lately. According to recently-released research, more than 1,000 new apartment sales were transacted in the December quarter – the highest level since 2002.”
