10 QLD suburbs that smashed records in 2017/18
They are the state’s high achievers.
The suburbs that have outperformed their peers in the residential property stakes; breaking records for sale price, number of sales, days on market or for smashing through the million-dollar median price ceiling.
Benchmarks have been beaten in blue-chip areas like Ascot, Sunshine Beach and
Surfers Paradise, as well as suburbs on the rise, including Kalinga and
Underwood.
Records were smashed in at least 10 suburbs across the state in the past 12 months— an indicator of a shortage of stock and increase in demand in a number of competitive markets.
Here's one of Queensland’s benchmark busters of 2017/18:
The working class suburb in Brisbane’s south experienced the highest capital growth in Queensland in the past 12 months.
The Logan suburb’s median house price climbed nearly 25 per cent to $601,345 in the past financial year.
Underwood’s median house price also jumped a massive 65.6 per cent between May 2008 and May this year — the highest growth of any Brisbane suburb in the past decade.
CoreLogic senior research analyst Cameron Kusher told The Courier-Mail it was “a bit surprising” given the suburb’s location, 17km from Brisbane’s CBD, but its affordability and access to the highway and Gold Coast made it attractive.
“But its median (house) price is now up over $600,000, so it’s not really that cheap anymore,” Mr Kusher said. Source
