What makes property in Queensland so unique?
Lifestyle
With the rise of work from home culture and digital work environments, many Aussies are finding that they can maintain their current career trajectory and earning power without compromising on location or lifestyle. This has led to many reconsidering where they wish to live and spend the extra time saved on the daily commute on leisure, that would normally be out of reach during the working week.
Affordability
Affordability is the other crucial factor that comes into play when considering this newfound flexibility. With many prospective buyers priced out of Sydney and Melbourne, the opportunity to migrate North to the more attainable city of Brisbane and its surroundings becomes more appealing, particularly for changeover and first home buyers.
Migration
A key factor that differentiatesQueensland from other states is how internal migration is significantly boosting demand as people realise their working and living potential. This increased demand from those migrating within Australia adds an extra layer to the limited supply levels other states are facing.
Property features
Queensland homes boast space and features considered a luxury in many other states. They offer more land, larger house sizes and key property features such as pools and sheds, adding further to the alluring pull of the Sunshine State.
Infrastructure investment
As the state commits to significant investment in infrastructure in the lead up to the Brisbane 2032 Olympics, creating jobs, improving connectivity and increasing demand for housing, it is anticipated this will drive resilience and strength in property prices.
