SUSTAINABLE
GROWTH AND
STABILISATION
Over the first quarter of 2015, Queensland’s residential
property markets largely continued the trends established
in late 2014.
Those areas where improvements have been consistent,
continued to show solid results and the areas where the
market has been flat or struggling now look to be finding
their feet.
Integral to all regions have been major infrastructure
projects, which have provided much-needed economic
stimulation and underpinned recovery.
The Gold Coast sales activity will quieten heading into the
winter months but the lift in construction and tourism
industries provided some buoyancy in the first quarter of
2015. The same can be said for the Sunshine Coast and
Cairns, with all three regions recording continued solid
results.
Investor activity did increase across the state, however
it was not as pronounced in some regions as many had
anticipated. Australian Bureau of Statistics figures reveal
dwellings financed for investment purposes were at a
five-year high.

REIQ RESEARCH EXPLANATORY NOTES
SALES MARKET DATA
All figures for the most recent quarterly and yearly periods
are preliminary only and subject to further revision as
additional sales records become available (see Research
Methodology online at reiq.com).
As of the June quarter 2013, all sales data includes
"Recent Sales" as advised by real estate agents as
well as official records as advised by DNRM. As such
comparisons with figures published prior to the June
quarter 2013 should be done with caution.
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 (ie 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
at the time of reporting 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 ending the month prior to the
current period.
"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.
"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.
"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
in the count, the listings have to be matched to an
actual address.
"% Stock on Market" is the percentage of dwellings within
the suburb or local government area that have been listed
for sale over the past year.

STATE-WIDE
SUMMARY CONTINUED
Queensland’s
residential
property
markets
largely
continued
the trends
established in
late 2014
The downturn in regional centres hasn’t been good news for
some, however it has represented opportunity for first home
buyers.
On the Fraser Coast, where the local council offers its own
incentive scheme, first-home buyer activity is said to be
strong. Major centres such as Mackay, Rockhampton and
Gladstone are seeing a pick-up in activity where affordable
house prices combined with low interest rates are helping
many first home buyers make the decision to move from
renting to buying.
ABS figures for the March quarter also show an
improvement in first home buyer finance, however levels
still remain well below the long-term trend.
HOUSE MARKET
The metropolitan Brisbane house market continues to
lead the way with the shortest days on market and lowest
vendor discounting.
However, Toowoomba has now taken over the Greater
Brisbane region as the state’s fastest selling major
regional centre.
Toowoomba’s sales activity may be levelling off for the
moment, however, the garden city’s local economy is
likely to continue to improve thanks to a diverse range of
industries underpinning the local economy. And when the
economy does well, real estate activity does well.
With a lift in activity at the affordable end of the market,
median sale prices were down somewhat across the
Greater Brisbane region, with Brisbane’s median price
falling below $600,000. After the surge in prestige sales
over the December quarter, it came as no surprise that the
affordable market would steal the spotlight for Brisbane
this quarter.
On the Gold and Sunshine coasts sales activity was
relatively stable with steady growth in their respective
median house prices. Both regions recorded increases
of above six per cent in their annual median house price,
indicating prices are beginning to lift.
The state’s resource centres are starting to see a light at
the end of the tunnel with Gladstone, Rockhampton and
Mackay agents reporting stable conditions and hints of lift
in sales activity.

Due to low volume of sales, % changes should be used with caution.
While there is still a long way to go before the market
picks up again, local agents in each region feel a corner
has been turned.
Local council efforts in Mackay and Gladstone are also
aiming to diversify their respective industries knowing
it will help scaffold the future growth of their regions. In
Rockhampton the improving beef industry is giving the
region a much-needed confidence boost.
UNIT MARKET
While the house market took a breather in many parts
of the state, a number of unit and townhouse markets
recorded increased sales activity.
Most notably Greater Brisbane’s Logan, Moreton Bay and
Redland City recorded strengthening sales activity, as did
the Gold and Sunshine coasts.
In regional areas Townsville was a standout performer,
however, this may be more of an indication of investors off-
loading their properties and being unable to wait out the
current downturn. As a result a shift in property prices is
occurring, and a similar trend is being seen in Gladstone.
The consequence of this is that median sale prices in
a number of regional centres have eased and average
vendor discounting rates have increased.
Although the unit market in Cairns has struggled on the
back of high insurance and body corporate fees, local
agents report renewed investor interest, namely at the
affordable end of the market, which bodes well for the
region.

RENTAL MARKET
Regional Queensland’s vacancy rates are incrementally
improving, while the southeast corner - the Gold Coast,
Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast - powers on with
healthy-to-tight market ratings.
Good news for investors as at the end of March 2015
with a small drop recorded in vacancy rates in Mackay,
Gladstone and Rockhampton.
Likewise, investors on the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and
Brisbane continued to enjoy tight vacancy rates, ensuring
the best opportunity for return on investment.
On the Gold and Sunshine coasts continued tight
conditions in rentals are due to two groups of investors
at work – those who are selling to owner occupiers,
thus reducing rental stock, and those who are buying
properties which then adds to rental stock. The net effect
of this activity is that vacancy rates remain static.
In Brisbane local agents say first home buyers are
beginning to become more active, contributing to a
softening of rental demand as they leave the rental
market for their first mortgage. Investors are also
becoming increasingly more active adding to supply
and we anticipate that we will start to see a softening of
Brisbane’s rental market over the rest of the year.

BRISBANE
CITY
The biggest news in this market is the drop in Brisbane’s
median house price to below $600,000 – to $580,000 – after
a brief flirtation of just one quarter at this benchmark.
The small drop, of 3.3 per cent, is largely due to flatter
activity in the prestige market following a robust final
quarter of 2014.
The first quarter of the year is historically a quieter time for
sales activity and that held true in 2015 with total house
sales activity down eight per cent.
The long-term trend in sales volumes however remains
strong with activity up on the same time last year. This
steady growth in sales volumes bodes well for property
buyers in the state’s capital city, as price growth has
remained in check.
Brisbane’s rental market remains healthy with vacancy
rates at the end of March down since the end of 2014.
Concerns of an oversupply in the inner city rental market
may be eased with new data from the Residential Tenancies
Authority pointing toward demand keeping relatively apace
of supply.
HOUSE MARKET
Over the quarter, Brisbane’s median house price was
down 3.3 per cent on the back of a drop in activity most
notably in the upper end of the market. Sales in the
$500,000 and $1 million-plus price points recorded larger
drops in preliminary numbers than was seen in the more
affordable price points.
However, figures for the year ending March 2015 clearly
show that Brisbane’s house prices are starting to lift, with
the median house price up 7.2 per cent compared to the
previous year.
The proportion of profit-making sales also continues to
trend upwards with 92 per cent of vendors in Brisbane
over the year to February achieving a sale price higher
than what they originally paid.
Along with improving days on market and vendor
discounting rates, listing numbers have also now vastly
improved as more vendors recognise that now is the time
sell. Particularly for up-graders as any price increase
they may make on the sale of their current home will also
mean paying a higher price for their next home purchase.
In line with general trends during an upswing in the
market, it’s the inner city suburbs that are taking the lead
in terms of median price growth. The likes of Highgate
Hill, Teneriffe and Balmoral top the list with more than 30
per cent growth in the median house price compared to
five years ago.
UNIT MARKET
While the house market took a breather over the quarter,
unit and townhouse sales were up, with both inner and
outer ring suburbs performing well. Inner suburbs of
Kangaroo Point, Morningside, Indooroopilly and St Lucia
all saw an increase in buyer activity while Chermside and
Eight Mile Plains both recorded 11 more preliminary unit
sales compared with the previous quarter.
Time on market also continues to improve for Brisbane’s
unit and townhouse market. Unit listings are spending
on average two weeks fewer on the market compared
with a year ago, while vendors now only have to drop their
original list price by an average 4.7 per cent.
Buyer activity was also most prominent in the $350,000-
plus price point, up 41 sales compared to the December
quarter, as was the $500,000-plus price point. This
combined with steady sales in the prestige market saw
the overall median unit and townhouse price increase 1.4
per cent over the quarter.
RENTAL MARKET
At the end of March, Brisbane City recorded a vacancy
rate of 2.5 per cent, with both the inner and outer suburbs
recording a drop compared to the end of December.
According to local agents, the outer ring suburbs are
receiving increased tenant demand from those being
priced out of the inner suburbs or simply wanting to get
more for their money.
The continued supply of new apartments in the inner city
remains a concern however REIQ analysis of approximate
new dwelling counts from against the increase in total
bonds held by the RTA show that tenant demand is there.
Local agents in the inner Brisbane area also say that
minimising vacancy levels is paramount to the viability of
the residential letting agency business managing each
new apartment. Good relationship management with their
new landlords, coupled with offering rental incentives to
prospective tenants, is said to contribute significantly to
keeping vacancy levels low.

Confidence in the state’s capital city residential market
continues to strengthen with listing numbers up over the
year to February and continued improvement in time on
market and the level to which vendors have to discount
from their initial list price.
According to local agents Brisbane’s relative affordability
and rental returns compared to Sydney and Melbourne is
likely going to mean an increase in investor activity moving
forward.
The unit and townhouse market continues to strengthen
in the outer suburbs with the landscape set to change in
the face of new townhouse and low-rise unit developments.
Investors are being attracted to such properties given the
strong rental returns they are achieving. Local agents
across the Greater Brisbane area say there are a good
number of great buying opportunities for investors to have
a positively geared investment, particularly with current
interest rate levels.
The 2014 Brisbane City Plan, which identifies key growth
corridors and centres, has infrastructure such as public
transport and road upgrades flagged as paramount to the
future growth of the state’s capital city.
HOUSE MARKET
Over the March quarter, sales activity across the Brisbane
statistical division was down 5 per cent however this trend
was not consistent across each of the council areas,
with Ipswich bucking the trend with preliminary house
sales numbers up 7 per cent compared to the December
quarter.
Ipswich agents say the region is well-positioned for strong
capital growth in the coming years as the south-east
property market strengthens further. With the region
tipped to be the fastest growing region in SEQ, local
agents are very optimistic about the coming years for their
area.
Over the March quarter, median house sale prices
remained flat or eased somewhat on the back of an
increase in buyer activity in the $350,000 to $500,000 price
point. Over the year to March however all regions posted
an increase in median house prices.
Taking all market indicators into consideration, Moreton
Bay appears to be leading the way with the greatest
improvement in average days on market over the year, now
rivalling that of Ipswich at 71 days. Moreton Bay also now
has the lowest rate of average vendor discounting coupled
with the strongest increase in its median house sale price
compared to a year ago, up 3.9 per cent.
UNIT MARKET
Unit markets across Greater Brisbane continue to
strengthen, with sales activity up across all council areas
over the quarter. Demand for this segment of the market
is further evident in all areas except Redland, recording
double digit growth in preliminary sales numbers over the
year to March 2015.
While the upper end of the market saw an increase in
the $500,000-plus price point over the quarter, so too did
the affordable end, seeing unit and townhouse sales in
the sub-$250,000 bracket record the highest number of
preliminary sales.
This trend was strongest in Logan, which as a result saw
its median unit sale price drop 5 per cent. Sales were
up in the likes of suburbs such as Browns Plains where
investors are getting healthy rental returns with the suburb
well-placed in close proximity to Greenbank Military Camp,
Logan Central and major arterial roads.
Strengthening demand for townhouses was evident
across a number of suburbs with Kallangur, Griffin and
Petrie in Moreton Bay all recording an increase in activity.
According to local agents in Redcliffe the new rail line is a
major boost for the area and is reportedly 6 months ahead
of schedule.
RENTAL MARKET
Affordability continues to be king for the Greater Brisbane
area, with vacancy levels holding steady across most
regions. Ipswich, Logan and Moreton Bay all remained
relatively unchanged since December, while a softening in
demand was seen in Redland City.
After spending all of 2014 at a vacancy level sub-two per
cent, Redland City has returned to healthier levels of
vacancy, while Moreton Bay holds the tightest vacancy
rate with local agents reporting continued strong tenant
demand.
In Logan, vacancy rates held relatively steady at 2.1 per
cent, however local agents say tenant enquiry levels are
beginning to soften. Investor interest in the area is also
said to be picking up, which indicates further easing in
vacancy levels potentially to come.

SUNSHINE COAST & NOOSA HOUSE SALES (p)
DEC 14 MAR 15
The residential property market and local economy on the
Gold Coast continue to record solid results with local agents
saying the city is steadily improving with the tourism and
construction industries rebounding strongly.
According to local agents, the house market results for the
March quarter are typical of the time of year, with similar
steadying sales activity recorded over the March quarter
last year. They also pre-empt the June quarter will similarly
follow the trend seen last year, with the cooler season
seeing buyer demand drop off.
The construction industry is providing much needed jobs
with both residential and infrastructure projects underway.
The billion-dollar high rise development “Jewel” in Surfers
Paradise is reportedly underway with excavation works
underway. The sand dug up from the site, 113,000 cubic
metres worth, is set to be donated to help with erosion on
Surfers Paradise beach.
Tourism is also back on track providing further employment
opportunities for local residents.
Despite the improving conditions, local agents say
interstate investor activity hasn’t picked up as much as
many had anticipated it would have by now.
HOUSE MARKET
Over the March quarter this year, preliminary house sales
numbers were relatively unchanged compared to the
December quarter, but annual sales numbers were up 9
per cent. While sales activity remained unchanged there
was a shift in price point activity with a lift in sales in the
$500,000 to one million price range.
As a result the Gold Coast median house price recorded
a healthy 2.2 per cent increase over the quarter. Evidence
that the region is well on its way to better times is an
increase of 6.4 per cent in its annual median compared to
a year ago.
Indicative of solid and steady results are stable average
days on market which have improved by just 7 days over
the year to February, while average vendor discounting
now sits at 6 per cent, down from 6.3 per cent a year ago.
UNIT MARKET
Unlike the house market, the Gold Coast’s unit and
townhouse market saw a rise in preliminary sales
numbers, up 24 per cent over the March quarter.
Local agents however say the unit market still remains a
quieter than the house market, and the lift in sales activity
is likely a few developments off-loading developer stock.
Suburbs along the beach front saw the strongest sales
activity with Surfers Paradise, Labrador and Palm Beach
topping the list for the quarter.
Signs that the unit market is not too far behind the house
market on the Gold Coast is the improvement in average
days on market and average vendor discounting rates.
Over the year to February 2015, unit listings took 10 days
fewer to sell while vendors have saved a full 1 percentage
point in their discounting rates compared to a year ago.
RENTAL MARKET
The Gold Coast however, buoyed by improving local
employment conditions, saw its vacancy rate drop further,
down 0.8 percentage points since December, making the
region the tightest rental market of all major regions.
With a vacancy of just 1.3 per cent, this is the lowest the
Gold Coast has recorded in seven years and is a strong
indicator that the other sectors of the economy are
strengthening.
According to local agents, mid-range properties typically
targeted by families are moving faster than upper-end
executive style properties.

Over the March quarter the Toowoomba residential property
market, similar to Brisbane, took a moment’s pause,
with sales activity easing in the house market. Unit sales
however were up, following a sharp drop over the December
quarter.
Local agents in Toowoomba say that there is an air of
cautious optimism with well-educated buyers gaining more
confidence in the negotiation process.
A two-tiered market is also said to be present, with those
who have some uncertainty around their employment
holding back from the sales market. Investor activity is also
said to have dropped back, which is likely behind the easing
in sales activity over the quarter.
Despite the lull over the first three months of the year,
Toowoomba agents say the outlook for the region remains
very positive with local property prices remaining relatively
affordable and various industries supporting the local
economy.
HOUSE MARKET
Similar to the March quarter in 2014, preliminary house
sales numbers were down over the March quarter this
year. Toowoomba’s median house price however recorded
an increase of 1.1 per cent, the regions fourth consecutive
quarterly increase, indicating that local property prices
have begun to lift. The region’s quarterly change in
median house price has now trended in positive territory
since late 2012.
According to local agents the prestige market in
Toowoomba has picked up, with multiple sales in the one
to two million price bracket occurring, something that
hasn’t occurred in Toowoomba for some time. Over the
March quarter, preliminary numbers show four houses
were exchanged for over a million dollars, up from just two
during the corresponding March quarter last year.
The positive news is enticing more vendors to place their
properties onto the market, with total listings over the year
to February up 6 per cent compared to the previous year.
Despite an increase in available house listings, average
days on market in Toowoomba has reduced further to 63
days, and remains the fastest selling region outside of the
Brisbane council area.
UNIT MARKET
After peaking in the September quarter last year, the
March quarter sales activity in the unit and townhouse
market has picked up from the sharp drop recorded over
the December quarter.
Buyer activity was most prominent in the $250,000 to
$350,000 price point, with preliminary sales numbers up
over the March quarter.
With some new townhouse sales still occurring in suburbs
such as Kearneys Spring and East Toowoomba, the overall
median unit sale price for the Toowoomba council area
was up 8.5 per cent over the quarter.
With investor activity now said to be easing somewhat,
total unit and townhouse listings has remained relatively
unchanged compared to a year ago, however average days
on market has continued to come down which indicates
buyer demand overall remains strong.
RENTAL MARKET
In Toowoomba vacancy rates have hit an all-time high
of 3.2 per cent up 0.9 percentage points since the end
of December last year. Whilst this rate is generally
considered a “healthy” level, Toowoomba’s rental market
has historically remained under 2 per cent for more than 7
years, with December 2011 the exception when vacancies
went slightly above at 2.1 per cent.
With more new stock coming onto the market, local
agents say there is an oversupply most notably with
unit rentals. This is also said to be exacerbated by high
expectations on rental returns by interstate investors
resulting in vacancies taking longer on the market.
Local agents say that the increasing vacancy rate is
behind the easing in investor activity, which has removed
some of the unthinking heat from the Toowoomba property
market.

The Sunshine Coast continues to be one of the strongest
performing regional centres, with the housing market, unit
market and rental market all firing.
Both the unit and house sales market continue to see
activity trend upwards with preliminary sales numbers over
the year to March up 10 and 11 per cent respectively for the
Sunshine Coast council area.
Generally speaking, tourism numbers are rebounding to
the Sunshine Coast, recovering from a flat couple of years
and retailers and food precincts are reportedly doing well.
This is bringing renewed activity in the real estate market to
popular beachside areas and beyond.
HOUSE MARKET
Despite a strong year to March, the March quarter saw
preliminary house sales in the Sunshine Coast council
area ease 3 per cent. Noosa however saw sales edge
up 3 per cent compared to the December quarter, with
prestige sales contributing to Noosa’s median house price
increase of 8.7 per cent.
Over the year to March 2015 the median house price for
the Sunshine coast was up a healthy 6.1 per cent while
Noosa recorded 6.7 per cent, evidence that the market is
well and truly on the way back to solid ground.
Across the Sunshine Coast region, average days on
market, reflecting increasing buyer demand, has dropped
from 96 last year to 87 in the year to February 2015.
Average vendor discounting has likewise continued
to trend down, sitting at 5.9 per cent over the year to
February, down from 6.3 per cent a year ago.
Local agents are reporting that houses are receiving
multiple offers for the first time in many years and
many houses selling for full price, without any vendor
discounting.
Length of time on the market however, according to
local agents, depends on the quality and location of the
property. Some stock will sell within the first week, while
other listings may sit for lengthier periods.
Over the year to February 2015, total house listings for
the Sunshine Coast region were up 7 per cent indicating
growing confidence in the regions property market.
UNIT MARKET
Over the March quarter the Sunshine Coast and Noosa
unit markets recorded varying results. On the Sunshine
Coast sales numbers were up 16 per cent, while Noosa
saw sales drop 7 per cent.
Local agents contend this is a reflection of people
being forced to the unit market due to housing’s lack of
affordability. Those units that have been doing well are
those that are close to the beach in small complexes.
This market is said to be dominated by downsizers and
owner-occupiers, and features very few first-home buyers.
Local agents report a jump at the top end of the market,
with a few record sales in the two million and three million
price range, despite a drop off in overall activity in the
million-plus price point for the quarter.
One agent reported selling a $2.3 million apartment in
Maroochydore, not on the waterfront, believing it to be a
six-year record for the area.
RENTAL MARKET
On the Sunshine Coast vacancy rates were up 0.8
percentage points to 1.9 per cent at the end of March,
albeit still remaining a tight market. Caloundra continues
to hold the lowest vacancy rate, along with the Noosa
council area, at 1 per cent.
According to local agents supply of rentals is being
reduced as more investors take advantage of the
strengthening sales market, with many sold to owner-
occupiers.
Due to the ongoing demand on the Sunshine Coast and
minimal new investor stock coming onto the market,
median rents are on their way up in some areas, with
three-bedroom houses in the Noosa area recorded the
highest increase of $45 in its median weekly rent, to $440
for the March quarter 2015.

The Fraser Coast data reveals a picture of emerging
strong demand and limited supply in the housing market,
illustrated by a jump of 21 per cent in sales transactions
and a small lift in median house price.
The Fraser Coast Regional Council is focusing on measures
that continue the region’s population growth, including
attracting retirees from the southern states. The Council
recently approved a 154-bed nursing home, which will add
about 80 jobs to the community.
The council also offers discounts on infrastructure charges
for retirement-focused resort-style developments as well as
a means-tested new build boost for local first home buyers.
In addition, expansions to the Stockland shopping centre
in Hervey Bay have improved the retail offering in the
community, adding jobs and supporting population growth.
The possibility of a new convention centre development
and the Hervey Bay Boat Club redevelopment may trigger
additional confidence in the market and bring employment
prospects to the area.
Agents are confident the local market will continue to
strengthen and historical patterns suggest that the region
follows trends set by the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane,
both of which are performing well.
HOUSE MARKET
Over the March quarter preliminary house sales numbers
on the Fraser Coast jumped an impressive 21 per cent –
the largest increase of all major regional centers. With
335 transactions recorded, this is the highest level of
preliminary sales the region has seen in over five years
– indicating that the region has firmly moved into the
recovery phase.
Local agents confirm that there is increasing levels of
activity and that median prices look to be on the rise.
In a bid to further boost affordability is the Council’s
$12,000 grant for new builds for home buyers. Means-
tested, the council-grant is in addition to the current
Great Start Grant, giving those eligible first-home buyers
the extra financial boost they need and as a result
subdivisions in the region are selling steadily.

UNIT MARKET
Over the March quarter, Fraser Coast’s unit market also
recorded an increase in activity, however with a median
sale price not much more affordable than the house
median, the unit market continues to struggle to attract
the buyer demand.
Low interest rates, the housing market’s relative
affordability and the council first home buyer grant, has
possibly seen buyers stretch themselves from buying a
unit, to buying a house, which over the March quarter was
only about $43,000 more.
In addition, new stock built eight years ago is still being
absorbed. Buyer demand however is evidently there with
the significant improvement in average days on market,
down to 104 days over the year to February from 140 days
on market a year ago.
Average vendor discounting is likewise trending
downwards, with the region’s unit market recording the
highest improvement of all major regional centers over the
year.
RENTAL MARKET
On the Fraser Coast, vacancy levels increased slightly to
2.3 pre cent over the three months to March. According
to local agents, tenant enquiry levels remain strong and
with minimal investor activity, vacancies are expected to
remain at current levels.
Although median rents on the Fraser Coast are amongst
the most affordable for the major centres, gross yields for
units in particularly are amongst the highest. On the back
of an easing median sale price and increasing rents over
the quarter, the gross yield for units was up 2.2 percentage
points to 6.9 per cent.

In the December 2014 QMM, the REIQ forecast imminent
green shoots in Bundaberg and this has proven accurate.
A significant level of optimism is colouring the real estate
sector, with Council approvals up significantly and a new
raft of subdivisions springing up across the Bundaberg
region.
The local economy has improved and, anecdotally, agents
are reporting that even though there was a flat period
following the change of government in January, confidence
is returning and a good supply of product is coming to the
market.
Additionally, after a question mark hovered over the gas
pipeline project, Labor gave it the green light in March and
now pegs are in the ground, outlining the route it will take.
This will give a substantial injection of jobs and money into
the economy.
Other major projects that would provide additional boosts to
the area include the $73 million port development and the
$93 million upgrade to the Rubyanna Wastewater Treatment
Plant.
A new Bunnings outlet opened at the start of the year
and the new Masters outlet is a step closer with the
construction company lodging plans with Bundaberg
Regional Council, adding to the optimism in the
community.
HOUSE MARKET
Reflecting similar themes across much of regional
Queensland, the Bundaberg market is experiencing steady
market conditions with hints of improving sales activity
over the March quarter this year.
Preliminary house sales numbers were up by 6 per
cent compared with the previous quarter along with the
improving median house price, which was up by 2.9 per
cent, to $283,000 however still remains the most affordable
major regional center.
According to local agents, first home buyers are amongst
the most active in the Bundaberg region.
Despite the lift in sales activity across the house market,
all other market indicators show that Bundaberg is still
stabilizing, with average days on market stretching out by
a further 16 days compared to a year ago.
Average vendor discounting also increased slightly from
6.8 per cent in 2014 to 8 per cent over the year to the end
of February of 2015.
UNIT MARKET
The unit and townhouse market continues to experience
easing of conditions with all indicators suggesting that
apartment sales have been sluggish compared with
housing market data.
The median unit price for the March quarter in Bundaberg
was $231,000, down 12.6 per cent compared with
the previous quarter. However, this drop was largely
influenced by an increase in sales in the sub-$250,000
price point.
Days on market and vendor discounting also point to a
slow unit market, with days on market increasing from 109
in 2014 to 152 in 2015 and vendor discounting increasing
from 6.1 per cent to 8.5 per cent.
However, according to local agents proposed
infrastructure projects – especially the port development,
if it goes ahead – should position Bundaberg as a thriving
business centre with export and import activity delivering
increased commerce through the region.
This they say should cascade positive effects into the unit
market as young couples move to Bundaberg for new
employment opportunities and seeking to get into a very
affordable apartment market.

RENTAL MARKET
Bundaberg has some improvement vacancy levels, down
0.3 percentage points to 4.1 per cent at the end March.
According to local agents, the Bundaberg market is a
bit up and down but looks to be stabilising, with tenant
demand improving.
Weekly rents according RTA figures have remained
relatively stable with three-bedroom houses commanding
about $280 a week, down just $5 from the previous
quarter. This, along with Cairns, is the most affordable rent
of all the major regional centres.
Correspondingly, gross rental yields are up in Bundaberg,
with a house and a unit attracting gross yields that are
roughly the same, at around 5 per cent.

The March quarter 2015 saw continued steady conditions
for the Gladstone residential property market with
both house and unit sales activity remaining relatively
unchanged.
LNG construction projects continue to approach
completion, however a new $700 million oil refinery is said
to have been mooted with construction to potentially begin
in 2017.
Gladstone’s rental market continues to improve with rental
price corrections bringing local tenants who once had to
resort to share-housing or live out of town back into the
Gladstone rental market.
Whilst investor activity has declined some local investors
who know the Gladstone market well are still active. More
first home buyers are emerging given the price corrections
being seen and the current low interest rates, according to
local agents.
Confidence is said to be beginning to return after a difficult
12 months for the region. Local agents are expecting the
market to remain steady for the remainder of 2015, with the
Gladstone returning to its usual port, industrial and rural
activities that had been overshadowed by the LNG boom.
HOUSE MARKET
Gladstone’s median house price saw an increase of
6.5 per cent over the March quarter on the back of an
increase in activity in the $500,000-plus price point.
Although sales activity was down over the quarter, local
agents say activity was picking up towards the end of the
quarter, particularly at the lower end of the market. With
first home buyers becoming more active, the $280,000 to
$380,000 price range has been generating good interest.
This is likely contributing to the annual median house
price dropping 10.7 per cent. Compared to five years ago
however, Gladstone’s median house price is up 2.5 per
cent.
Average vendor discounting and average days on market
for house sales have both levelled off, further indicating
stable conditions for Gladstone’s house market.
UNIT MARKET
With next to no investor activity and owner-occupiers
typically targeting the house market, sales activity in
Gladstone’s unit and townhouse market continues to drop
off with the region now recording fewer than 13 sales over
the quarter.
According to local agents, at the peak of the market, unit
prices were nudging the $500,000 mark with a lot of new
stock on the market but they have since dropped back to
pre-boom times. This is evident in the significant drop in
the region’s annual median unit sale price which is down
26.6 per cent and 10.7 per cent compared to one and five
years ago.
On a positive note, the total number of listings for the
year ending February is down 21 per cent compared to
a year ago along with improvements in the average days
on market, which bodes well for the region’s unit and
townhouse market.
Local agents say that vendors are having to meet the
market more if they want to sell, which is behind the
increase in average vendor discounting rate, up 3.3
percentage points to 13.6 per cent over the year to
February 2015.
RENTAL MARKET
Gladstone’s rental market meanwhile continues to
improve, with its fifth consecutive drop in vacancy rates.
With median rents returning to pre-boom times, housing
affordability is now the key driver behind the recovery in
tenant demand in the region.
According to statistics from the Residential Tenancies
Authority, median rents across all property types have
fallen between $140 and $255 since rents peaked in over
the 2012-2013 financial year.
With little investor activity, the excess supply is gradually
being absorbed by tenants who had formerly resorted to
share housing or had moved out of town in search of more
affordable rentals, according to local agents.
The outlook for the region remains relatively steady with
approximately 300 properties from mining company stock
said to be released back onto the private rental market in
slow increments over the next year or so.

In Rockhampton the March quarter this year has seen
slowly but surely improvements in the market with local
agents noticing a slight pickup in sales activity
Key to this improvement is first home buyers with many
doing their sums and recognising that now is the opportune
time to buy instead of rent. Rockhampton’s affordable
house prices and the low interest rate are helping many first
home buyers make that decision.
The local rural economy is also said to be growing in
confidence with the beef industry in particularly performing
strongly. Local agents say increasing cattle prices and the
low Australian dollar are providing a much needed boost.
This confidence is expected to help underpin the
Rockhampton property market, with early signs that a
recovery may not be too far away. With the ongoing drought
however still impacting many parts of Queensland, a little
bit of rain would be the extra boost Rockhampton could do
with.
While sales activity over the year is still markedly down with
many vendors choosing to wait out the bottom of the cycle,
the March quarter results indicate that the market may
finally be about to turn the corner.
HOUSE MARKET
Over the March quarter, preliminary house sales numbers
edged up 4 per cent; while the median house price
recorded an encouraging increase of 2 per cent compared
to the previous quarter.
According to local agents first home buyers are the most
active however some interstate investors are reportedly
still keeping an interest in the region. While houses within
the sub-$350,000 price range remains the predominant
price point, preliminary numbers in the $350,000 to
$500,000 were up on the previous quarter as were sales in
the $500,000 plus.
Average days on market remain above that recorded a
year ago however they look to be stabilising; while the
average vendor discounting rate has increased slightly to
8.9 per cent. With listing numbers still 30 per cent down
on a year ago many vendors will likely continue to wait for
signs the Rockhampton sales market has improved before
we see any recovery in total listings.
UNIT MARKET
Following a dip in activity over the December quarter, unit
sales over the first three months of 2015 rebounded back
to levels seen over the September quarter. Sales within
the new developments in the Rockhampton CBD along
the river have dropped off, which has contributed to the
region’s median unit sale price fall of 11.4 per cent.

These new developments however have changed the
scope of Rockhampton’s unit market which has pushed
the annual median up 6.2 per cent compared to a year ago
and 34.6 per cent compared to five years ago.
Over the quarter the affordable end of the market was also
a contributing factor to the region’s quarterly median sale
price result, with preliminary sales numbers in the sub-
$250,000 price point more than doubling that recorded
over the December quarter.
RENTAL MARKET
Rockhampton’s vacancy rate at the end of March showed
signs of improvement, down 0.8 percentage points to 4.4
per cent. Whilst the vacancy rate has fluctuated somewhat
over recent quarters, the oversupply seen has been
trending downwards since vacancies peaked at 7 per cent
in December 2013.
Local agents say confidence is slowly returning to the
Rockhampton market however some investor activity from
interstate is continuing to add to supply.
Given the current rental market conditions, median
rents have softened with three and four bedroom houses
recording a fall of $10 compared to the March quarter last
year. Gross house yields however have held improved to
5.2 per cent on the back of easing median sale prices over
the year.

As local agents had expected, the first quarter for 2015 saw
an improvement in the Mackay market with sales activity
up across all property types. Sales numbers now appear
to be levelling out, with the trend in sales activity hovering
around the 200 preliminary house sales mark for four
consecutive quarters.
In a bid to improve Mackay’s current economic climate,
the local council is said to be helping Mackay diversify into
other industries such as tourism, education and health.
Local agents say that whilst prices have seen a correction
back to pre-boom times, the Mackay real estate looks to be
in a position of stability with the outlook for the balance of
2015 much brighter than it was this time last year.
Given the softening of property prices and an abundant
supply of listings, first home buyers are becoming more
active, as are some astute investors who are taking
advantage of the affordable prices.
HOUSE MARKET
Following a dip in activity over the December quarter, the
Mackay house market made some ground back with an
increase of 18 per cent in sales activity over the March
quarter this year. With an improvement in sales activity
in the $500,000-plus price point, Mackay’s median house
price was up 4.1 per cent.
House sales in the sub-$350,000 bracket are said to be
achieving the most positive results for vendors with the
reappearance of first home buyers in Mackay.
Indicative of the current state of the market however, the
region’s annual median is down 6.9 per cent compared to
the previous year.
House listing numbers over the year to February have
levelled out however according to local agents there still
remains in oversupply. As such current active buyers
are in no hurry to make a decision which is behind the
extended average days on market which has blown out to
103 days. Average vendor discounting likewise has pushed
out further to over 10 per cent.
UNIT AND TOWNHOUSE MARKET
Unit and townhouse sales over the March quarter also
saw an increase in activity with the most improvement
seen in the sub-$250,000 price point.
According to local agents, vendors who have held their
property for a long period of time are achieving positive
sales results. However those that bought within the last
year, particularly off-the-plan sales are hurting from the
price corrections that are currently taking place.
Over the year to February average vendor discounting has
pushed out further than house sales, up 4.4 percentage
points to 13.7 per cent – making Mackay the most
discounted of all the major regions in Queensland.
Average days on market have also increased, with units
and townhouses now taking nearly a month longer to sell
than they did a year ago. According to local agents the
ongoing costs for strata insurance and body corporate
fees is really impacting on this segment of Mackay’s
residential market.
RENTAL MARKET
Early signs of stabilisation are being seen in Mackay
at long last with the vacancy rate coming down 0.4
percentage points to 9.4 per cent at the end of March.
Median weekly rents in Mackay have also come down from
their peak in late 2012, which bodes well for local Mackay
residents, and hopefully the trend seen in Gladstone will
also play out in Mackay.
While this price correction may not bode well for investors
rental yields, this should help bring the vacancy rate back
down to much more healthier levels.
With rental and sale prices softening, the impact on
current gross yields hasn’t been as pronounced. Over the
year to February 2015, current gross yields for Mackay
house rentals were 4.3 per cent, down from 4.8 per
cent a year ago. Meanwhile gross yields for units and
townhouses has remained unchanged at 4.8 per cent over
the year with both rental prices and sale prices softening
in relatively equal proportion.

The first quarter of 2015 saw the Townsville residential
market record continued steadying conditions. Sales activity
continues to remain subdued, while time on market also
remains steady for both house and unit listings.
According to local agents the Townsville region continues
to struggle to find its feet with confidence and the current
business climate resulting in inconsistent activity overall.
Volumes are said to be there but the market is yet to see
much improvement.
Similar to what is being seen in Mackay and Gladstone
vendors who have held onto their properties for the longer
term are achieving positive results whilst those who are
selling within five years of ownership are struggling to sell
at a profit.
With minimal investor activity, first home buyers in
Townsville have some breathing space and with prices now
more affordable, many are said to be taking the plunge.
Meanwhile local agents say its only a matter of time before
upgraders recognize the current interest rate environment
and affordable house prices is a good time to make the
move.
However the balance of 2015 they say, will essentially be
continued subdued conditions as many vendors continue
to wait out the bottom of the market.
HOUSE MARKET
While Townsville looked to be on the road to recovery with
an upswing in house sales over the September quarter last
year, the following six months saw the Townsville market
return to more patchy conditions.
Over the March quarter house sales numbers dropped
further by 9 per cent, while the median house price
remained relatively steady, down just 0.7 percentage
points to $350,000. Over the year to March however,
the effect of the slower market is more evident with the
region’s annual median down 1.4 and 4.1 per cent over the
one and five years respectively.
Local agents say its not all bad news with prime, well-
positioned property are seeing consistent results, whereas
secondary stock is taking longer to sell.
Whilst average vendor discounting for house sales has
nudged down further to 8 per cent, average days on
market have remained relatively steady at around 90 days.
UNIT MARKET
Over the March quarter, Townsville’s unit and townhouse
market saw an increase in activity predominantly within
the sub-$250,000 and sub-$350,000 price points.
This improvement in activity however is largely on the back
of softening prices, according to local agents, as many
vendors have to accept a price lower than they paid. It is
likely that it is this segment of the market that is behind
the increase in average vendor discounting for unit sales,
up 0.4 percentage points to 9.4 per cent over the year to
February.
Over the year to March some suburbs such as Cranbrook
and Douglas recorded an increase in sales activity, two
of Townsville’s more affordable suburbs for units and
townhouses.
RENTAL MARKET
In Townsville, ongoing unemployment levels continue
to have a negative impact on the rental market, with the
vacancy rate up 1.2 percentage points since December, to
5.9 per cent at the end of March.
According to local agents, the region continues to have
an oversupply of rental properties, with tenant demand
remaining weak on the back of a slow local economy. In
a bid to keep vacancies to a minimum, agents are said to
be keeping their landlords informed on the current state of
the market.
While this is resulting in a softening of asking rents,
median rents according to the RTA have only come back
around $20 compared to 12 months ago.

Cairns residential property market continued to strengthen
over the March quarter with further improvements across
most market indicators. Cairns is now the fastest selling
tourism region, overtaking the Gold Coast for average days
on market for both house and unit sales.
With continued improvement in the Cairns market, more
vendors are said to be growing confident which is seeing
listing numbers increase in the house market.
Local agents say 2015 will be either an excellent year should
major projects, such as the Aquis Casino Resort, go ahead.
A number of other developments however should see the
region continue to record healthy market conditions moving
forward.
Sales activity was relatively stable over the March quarter
for house sales, however unit sales were down significantly
which local agents say is the typical seasonal trend for the
Cairns unit market.
HOUSE MARKET
Over the March quarter, preliminary house sales numbers
were relatively stable with the median house sale price
also remaining unchanged at $390,000.
According to local agents the top end of the market is
improving with some notable properties coming onto
the market. Over the March quarter the $350,000 to
$500,000 price point was up on the December quarter and
continues to be the main selling price point.
House listings over the year to February saw a strong
improvement in time on market, with houses selling nearly
two weeks quicker than they did the previous year. This
was the largest improvement of all major regional centres
including Brisbane.
UNIT MARKET
After trending upwards since the start of 2013, sales
numbers over the March quarter dropped off significantly
compared to the December quarter 2014 (down 15 per
cent in Cairns LGA and down 44 per cent in Douglas LGA).
The largest drop in activity was recorded in the sub-
$250,000 price point with 20 per cent less preliminary
sales recorded compared to the December quarter.
However with this being the predominant selling price
point, Cairns median unit and townhouse sale price was
not impacted by this drop in activity and was in fact up 5.5
per cent over the quarter.
According to local agents this trend in sales activity is
typical for this time of year. With increasing investor
interest in the region, they believe the outlook for Cairns’
unit and townhouse market looks very promising.
Similar to the house market, Cairns unit market saw an
improvement in average days on market, down 16 days
to 86 over the year to February, making Cairns’ unit and
townhouse market the second fastest selling regional
centre after Toowoomba.
RENTAL MARKET
Cairns’ rental market also continues to perform strongly
however vacancy rates were up slightly by 0.2 percentage
points to 2.4 per cent at the end of March. While still
under 2.5 per cent, this is the highest vacancy rate the
region has recorded since March 2012.
Local agents report investors still offloading properties into
the sales market, which is keeping a lid on rental supply
levels. The residential market as a whole is said to have
plateaued somewhat but demand for rental properties
remains strong.
According to the latest figures from the RTA, median
weekly rents over the March quarter remained steady
for house rentals, however three-bedroom townhouses
recorded an increase of $20 to $330 per week compared to
the March quarter last year.
