Queensland – The Property Investment Hotspots
With all the talk once again of flattening markets in Australian cities astute property investors are looking to regional Australia, Queensland in particular, and with good reason.
There are plenty of opportunities to be found in regional Australia particularly in the resource rich state of Queensland where the mining boom is being re-born in towns where property values are still affordable.
I seriously think we might be staring at another Karratha in the Darling Downs and around service ports like Gladstone. Karratha is a mining town in northern WA wher the property market soared almost overnight due to the intense mining boom of the last decade. Average properties became million dollar hotspots and rents went from average to exorbitant in a short space of time.
The best part of the Darling Downs and Surat Basin area is that property prices are still reasonable and the large projects for the region are starting .It is a case of strike while the iron is hot and this one is hot.
The government and private sector have committed to investing over $10bn in infrastructure which will on its own create significant demand for housing and rental accommodation.
We mentioned in the last newsletter that the largest company to company deal Australia has ever seen has been signed between a Chinese resource company and an British mining company based in Queensland that will see Liquid Natural Gas exported from the Surat Basin to China over the next 20 years.
Putting the Darling Downs aside there’s Gladstone, and surrounding local region, already a strong infrastructure hub set to receive billions of dollars of investment on top of that invested in the last few years in new industry, mining and infrastructure.
Coming back to something more predictable are the growth spots in SE Brisbane. Brisbane and the Gold Coast is the fastest growing population centre in Australia. Areas such as Coomera north west on the Gold Coast Hinterland is a great investment.
Portfolios has property available in all these areas, ask us about places like Chinchilla, Dalby, Kingaroy or Gladstone, Calliope or Coomera. Properties like these ones present a great investment opportunity to enhance any portfolio. We already have clients snapping up these properties sometimes multiples of them.
You can see some of these properties in our Featured Properties section or ask us about other opportunities for you.
The team look forward to working with you to… Make it Happen
