The numbers of house sales across Queensland peaked in the last quarter of 2013, with nearly 10,000 sales. This was the highest quarterly sales volume in several years and occurred without stimulus measures. The improving housing market and growing consumer confidence contributed to the increased sales. Median house prices also increased over the quarter in most regions of Queensland, with Brisbane prices up 6%, reflecting a jump in sales of properties between $500,000-$1 million.

HOUSE SALES
PEAK
SALES MARKET
The numbers of house sales across Queensland peaked
at the end of last year as well as recorded healthy price
growth according to the REIQ’s Queensland Market
Monitor (QMM) for the December quarter.
December quarter data shows that the volume of house
sales hit its annual peak of activity in the last three
months of 2013. The numbers of sales was also one of
the healthiest quarterly periods for a number of years.
Not only can the December quarter claim to be the third
strongest in as many years, it was also firming without
the aid of extraneous stimulus measures.
Queensland’s most recent peak was in September
2012 when the return of stamp duty concessions
underpinned the increased sales activity.

2. 2 QUEENSLAND MARKET MONITOR
However, the strength of this latest quarter is a direct
reflection of the improving market and growing
confidence levels.
The September quarter, or spring selling season,
historically records the high numbers of sales. Last
year, however, the December quarter trumped it with the
preliminary numbers of house sales peaking at just shy of
10,000 for that three-month period.
This was the case across most major regions of the State
which is a further signal that the Queensland market is
well into its next growth phase. And when we compare
2013 to the very good times of 2007, we are sitting at about
75 per cent of the sales volumes that occurred during
that year.
Not only are more properties selling, they are taking less
time to do so and with less discounting. The most recent
data shows that in Brisbane, for example, the average time
it takes to sell a home has reduced to 74 days with average
discounting from list prices sitting at about 6 per cent.
And REIQ accredited agencies are reporting that many
properties are now selling for their asking prices or above
with instances of multiple offers also increasing.
Just as the volume of sales is growing so too are median
house prices in most regions. Over the December quarter,
the Brisbane median house price increased 6 per cent to
$562,000 – the third best performer over the quarter. There
was a significant jump in sales between $500,000 and
$1 million over the period which can partly explain this
quarterly price increase.

The top major region over the period was Moreton Bay
which posted median house price growth of 7.7 per cent
to $387,750. The Greater Brisbane region is attractive
for first home buyers and investors given its relative
affordability and also it has the lion’s share of new
housing developments across the Brisbane area.
The next best performer was Toowoomba which again
posted median price growth over the quarter. Its median
house price increased 6.5 per cent to $329,000. Over the
year ending December, its median grew by an impressive
8.5 per cent. Toowoomba’s proximity to the Surat Basin
Energy Province continues to underpin its strong property
market and potential for future growth.
The median price of units and townhouses across South
East Queensland grew over the December quarter as well.
The preliminary numbers of unit sales also increased six
per cent over the year.
The unit market is 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 is located in the southeast as that is
where demand for housing is the greatest.
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.

RENTAL MARKET
The REIQ’s latest residential rental survey, carried out in
December across all REIQ accredited agencies, has found
that the majority of the State recorded higher vacancy
rates compared to the three months before.
Over a third of REIQ member agencies reported an
increase in investor activity, subsequently adding to
the rental pool. In addition to this, the end of the year is
historically a period of lower tenant demand with many
vacating over the Christmas and New Year periods,
usually in a move to another area for either work or
educational reasons.
While local agents report seeing the beginning of easing
asking rents, figures from the Residential Tenancies
Authorities figures for the December quarter, are yet to
show a decline in median weekly rents for South East
Queensland and the Central Coast. While in the mining
regions, where vacancy rates have been trending upwards
for a number of consecutive quarters now, falling median
weekly rents are becoming the norm.

5. REIQ RESEARCH EXPLANATORY NOTES
SALES DATA
All figures for the most recent quarterly and yearly periods
are to be considered preliminary and subject to further
revision as additional sales records become available (see
Research Methodology).
All sales data includes "Recent Sales" as advised by real
estate agents as well as official records as advised by
DNRM.
A median sale price is derived by arranging a set of
sale prices from lowest to highest and then selecting
the middle value within this set (representing the 50th
percentile, where half of recorded sales were less and half
were higher than the median).
Only suburbs and regions to record sufficient sales
numbers are published.
N/A
Due to insufficient sales numbers (as at the time of data
extraction) no median sale price has been calculated

ON THE MARKET INDICATORS
At the time of publication, latest information available was
for the 12 months to the end of November 2013.
"Average Vendor Discount" is the average difference
between the contract price on a property and the first
advertised price. The figure is expressed as a percentage
and is an average of all private treaty sales which sold
for less than their initial asking price during the last
12 months. Auction listings and listings without an
advertised asking price are excluded from the calculation.
"Average Days on Market" is calculated as the average
number of days it has taken to sell those properties sold
by private treaty sale during the 12 month period. The
calculation excludes auction listings and listings where
an asking price is not advertised. The days on market
calculation uses the contract date on the property
compared with the first advertised date.
"Total Listings" is the total unique number of properties
that have been advertised for sale and captured by
RP Data over the 12 month period. To be included

BRISBANE
CITY
SALES MARKETS
Over the December quarter, the Brisbane median house
price increased 6 per cent to $562,000 – the third best
performer over the quarter.
Contributing to this healthy increase in its median was a
shift in the composition of sales over the quarter.
Compared to the September quarter, house sales numbers
in the $500,000 to $1 million price point were up about 20
per cent, while sales activity in the $1 million-plus price
point was up about 15 per cent.
Recovery in prestige property sales numbers is
typically an indicator that confidence is returning to the
property market.
The top three suburbs to record the most property
sales in excess of $1 million over the December quarter
included Paddington, New Farm and Indooroopilly, all city
fringe suburbs.
Further evidence of increased activity at the top end was
the higher number of Brisbane suburbs to record an
increase in excess of 15 per cent in its median house price
over the quarter.
Of the 15 suburbs to record an increase, the majority had
a median over $650,000.
Other market indicators signalling continued improving
confidence is the time properties are spending on the
market and the amount which vendors are negotiating.
The most recent figures show that in Brisbane, the
average time it takes to sell a house has reduced to 74
days, down from 87 a year ago with average discounting
from list prices sitting at about 6 per cent compared to 7
per cent over the same period.
In the unit and townhouse market, average days on market
has also improved to 85, down from 96, while average
vendor discounting is just 5 per cent.
The Brisbane unit and townhouse price increased 2 per
cent over the quarter to $408,000 and posted 1.5 per cent
growth over the year. There was a jump in sales in the
prestige unit market with sales between $500,000 and $1
million increasing by 13 per cent over the period.
Demand for these top-end properties are reflected in the
spike in median price in suburbs such as Hamilton and
Kangaroo Point which have been impacted by the sale of
higher priced units, many with river-views.
The Brisbane CBD also recorded one of the highest
increases in sales activity, nudging back up over 100
preliminary sales numbers for the quarter, as well as
posting a steady 2.2 per cent increase in its median.
RENTAL MARKET
In the Brisbane City local government area, the vacancy
rate as at the end of December was 3.2 per cent, up
from 2.3 per cent at the end of September. Local agents
report higher than usual vacancies for this time of year as
tenants are either relocating for work or purchasing their
own property.
Across Brisbane the results are varied. Inner Brisbane,
suburbs within 5km of the CBD, recorded the highest
increase, up 1.7 percentage points to 4.1 per cent.
For Brisbane suburbs beyond 5km, the vacancy rate eased
just 0.6 percentage points to 2.8 per cent.
Over the December quarter, median weekly rents
remained relatively steady for two bedroom units and
three bedroom townhouses, while three bedroom houses
recorded an increase of $10 to $410 per week compared to
the previous quarter.

BRISBANE
11DECEMBER QUARTER 2013
BRISBANE MARKET UPDATES
SALES MARKET
All four of Brisbane’s surrounding council areas posted
median house price over the December quarter while
also recording greater numbers of sales compared to the
previous quarter.
The top major region across Queensland over the period
was Moreton Bay which posted median house price
growth of 7.7 per cent to $387,750. The region is attractive
for first home buyers and investors given its relative
affordability and also has the lion’s share of new housing
developments across the Brisbane area. Its numbers of
preliminary house sales also increased by 8 per cent over
the year.
The Ipswich City council area recorded median house
price growth of 4.4 per cent to $308,000 over the quarter.
Its preliminary numbers of house sales was also up by 4
per cent compared to the historically more voluminous
September quarter.
Redland City posted a median house price increase of
3.5 per cent to $455,500 and 8 per cent more preliminary
house sales over the quarter. Logan City recorded house
growth of 3 per cent to $345,000 with preliminary house
sales up more than 10 per cent over the year.
Of all four major regions, Redland City now has the lowest
days on market at 84 – down from 99 a year before. In
Logan and Moreton Bay, the average discounting is now 6
per cent while in Redland City and Ipswich it is 7 per cent.
When it comes to the unit and townhouse market, it was
a mixed bag for the Greater Brisbane region but this is
probably due to the size of the unit markets in each area.
Logan’s median unit and townhouse price increased
5.7 per cent to $240,000 over the quarter but this was
positively impacted by two new developments – one in
Beenleigh and one in Browns Plains – which were sold
over the period.
Moreton Bay has the largest unit market in Greater
Brisbane and recorded 184 preliminary sales over the
December quarter. Its median and unit price posted
a minimal reduction of 0.3 per cent to $299,000 over
the period.
Redland City’s median unit price grew by 3.4 per cent to
$351,000 over the quarter but this was based on less than
70 preliminary sales.
The smallest unit market is in Ipswich, which posted just
50 preliminary sales and recorded a median unit price
fall of 7.8 per cent to $219,000 over the period due to the
varying quality of stock sold.
RENTAL MARKET
For the surrounding Brisbane local government areas,
rental markets still remain tight despite a slight easing
in vacancy rates. All areas recorded vacancy rates under
2.5 per cent, with Redland City the only area to record
an increase of more than one percentage points in its
vacancy rate.
Across the Greater Brisbane area, around 40 per cent of
REIQ agents surveyed reported an increase in investor
activity; however tenant demand remains strong in most
areas, keeping vacancy rates at low levels. The increased
investor activity was most notable in the Moreton
Bay area.
Median weekly rents across the Greater Brisbane area saw
small increases for two bedroom units and three bedroom
houses, with all regions posting increases of either $5 or
$10 since September. Ipswich City continues to post the
most affordable median weekly rents across all rental
property types.

REGIONAL MARKET UPDATES
A solid performer in terms of price growth and sales
activity was Robina which recorded a median house price
increase of 10.1 per cent to $545,000 over the quarter.
It also posted an increase in sales over the quarter and
the year.
Another strong performer was Palm Beach which
recorded median price growth of 12.5 per cent to $540,000
over the quarter as well 10 per cent over the year.
The median unit and townhouse price on the Gold Coast
increased 1.5 per cent to $340,000 over the quarter
and was steady over the year. While the Gold Coast’s
preliminary number of unit sales reduced over the quarter,
over the year volumes increased by 21 per cent.
Local agents say the unit market has not bounced back
to the same degree as the house market as yet but it is
expected to follow its lead in the months ahead.
A solid performer over the quarter was Currumbin Waters
which posted median unit price growth of 10.1 per cent
to $315,000. Over the year ending December, its median
price increased by 7.3 per cent.
RENTAL MARKET
In our tourism centres, residential vacancy rates remain
at healthy levels. The Gold Coasts recorded a tighter
vacancy rate, down 0.4 percentage points to 1.9 per cent
since September.
Median weekly rents on the Gold Coast have been steadily
increasing since the start of 2013, with three bedroom
houses up $20 to $420 per week between December 2012
and December last year – the highest increase in over four
years where median rents have hovered around the $400
mark.
The median rent of a two-bedroom unit on the Gold Coast
increased $15 per week to $355 over the same period.
SALES MARKET
The median house price on the Gold Coast increased
1.7 per cent to $480,000. The preliminary numbers of
house sales increased 10 per cent compared to the
September quarter.
According to local REIQ accredited agencies, sales activity
is strengthening however stock is becoming an issue.
Well-priced properties are selling close to list price –
especially in the under $500,000 price bracket.
There is currently a lot of pent-up demand which is being
released due to the improving conditions, low interest
rates, and media commentary on the strengthening Gold
Coast market.
According to local agents, there are instances of more
demand than supply which is helping price growth, while
good stock is becoming increasingly difficult to source.
First home buyers are more active in the market after a
prolonged period on the sidelines.
First-time buyers have worked out that it can be more
affordable to buy than rent in some areas and they are
making their move into the market.
Local agents say the outlook for this year is extremely
positive with the potential for continued moderate price
growth as well as improvements in the region’s tourism
and construction sectors.
Sellers’ expectations are beginning to trend up with many
now expecting to sell their properties at or above list price.
Investors are more active in the market given the strength
of the region’s rental market which is providing some
good returns.

REGIONAL MARKET UPDATES
DECEMBER QUARTER 2013
The approval of the 2nd range crossing is also said to be
a boost for not only the local economy but also for local
amenity as large trucks will no longer be driving through
the city centre.
RENTAL MARKET
Investor activity is reportedly up, predominantly within
close proximity to the Toowoomba metropolitan area, as
is tenant demand with one agency reporting very high
numbers of applicants recently.
With increased demand being matched with increased
investment activity, Toowoomba’s vacancy rate remained
unchanged since September, at 1.3 per cent.
Median weekly rents from the RTA correspondingly
continue to record steady growth. Compared to the
December quarter 2012, three bedroom townhouses
recorded the highest increase, up $48 to $330 per week.
Given the number of new bond lodgements are low,
the higher median rent was no doubt influenced by the
increasing number of higher quality townhouses available
for rent.
Meanwhile, three bedroom houses were up $10 to $290
per week and two bedroom flats were up $15 to $240
per week over the same period. Three bedroom flats still
remain the most popular investment property with over
600 new bonds lodged over the December quarter 2013
SALES MARKET
The Toowoomba property market continues to go from
strength to strength, with the December quarter seeing
preliminary sales volumes increase by around 10 per cent.
The Toowoomba Regional median house price was up a
strong 6.5 per cent to $329,000.
According to local agents, the Toowoomba property
market has continued to show robust confidence levels.
Sales in the sub-$500,000 bracket are reportedly strong,
with some properties taking less than a week to sell.
Local agents say both owner-occupiers and investors
are very active in the market, with increasing numbers
at open for inspections. First home buyers however
are unfortunately still low in numbers due to minimal
affordably-priced properties available on the market.
Investor demand is said to be particularly strong for
properties that are priced well relative to their rental
return, with such properties spending little time on
the market.
Another indicator that the Toowoomba property market is
strengthening is increased sales activity in the premium
end of the market, with up-graders and owner-occupiers
making the step up into a higher price range.
In the unit and townhouse market, the Toowoomba
median sale price increased 6.5 per cent to $263,000 with
an increase in preliminary sales numbers also recorded
over the quarter.
The Toowoomba unit market is seeing small townhouse
developments pop up across the metropolitan area,
such as Newtown and Kearneys Spring. While higher-
end sales in East Toowoomba and Rangeville have also
contributed to the increase in the region’s median price
over the quarter.
Over the coming year, local agents expect to see continued
quiet confidence, with confident capital growth expected.
Local agents say the region is set to vastly benefit from the
opening of the Brisbane West Wellcamp in October, which
is a privately owned and funded airport.
The airport is to have the fourth largest landing strip in
Australia which will open up Toowoomba to domestic
flights and have the potential to see the region become a
residential hub for fly-in-fly-out workers.
