Principal of @Real Estate, Natalie Gesler, said the Capricorn Coast property market was set to jump to new heights this Easter, with real estate agents gearing up for the biggest Easter they have experienced so far.
“Traditionally Easter sees a rise in buyer activity and sales as holiday makers and those attending events such as Rockynats and the Emu Park Festival of the Wind fall in love with the beautiful Capricorn Coast and often decide to stay, invest or purchase a holiday home, thanks to the abundance of natural beauty, relaxed beach lifestyle and idealistic climate,” Ms Gesler said.
“The traditional increase in Easter property buyers combined with the already buoyant Capricorn Coast real estate market and low stock levels is sure to result in increased buyer activity and competition.
“Interestingly over the last six months 60 per cent of all @ Real Estate buyers have been from out of town.
“Furthermore, in March 2022 the average sale price on the Capricorn Coast was around $581,000 and is now $683,000, that’s a massive 14 per cent increase over the last 12 months.
“As the housing shortage continues and the popularity of Yeppoon and surrounding areas continues to explode, it is expected that this growth will continue.”
