According to Herron Todd White’s Month in Review for November 2022, the Capricorn Coast had been a standout for prestige sales of $1 million-plus post-Covid.
Valuer Steve McDonald said in the report the prestige market in the Rockhampton and Capricorn Coast region pre-Covid was limited with sales numbers of $1 million plus properties tending to be in the single digits.
Mr McDonald said the Capricorn Coast market post-Covid had gone “gangbusters” for prestige property of $1 million-plus sales.
He said pre-Covid the numbers for the Capricorn Coast were fewer than 10 sales a year.
He said this was “absolutely smashed” both last year, with about 35 sales, and even more so this year, with about 50 sales with a further handful of properties also under contract.
“The prestige market had traditionally been beachfront property or modern elevated property with extensive views,” he said.
“We have seen this trend continue however there has also been significant interest in rural lifestyle property.
“There have also been a number of units to achieve the $1 million-plus price tag, something we haven’t seen for a while
“A modern unit with harbour frontage to Rosslyn Bay Boat Harbour and its own private mooring recently sold for $1.9 million.”
He said the numbers for Rockhampton were about five sales per year prior to Covid, which had increased in 2021 with Rockhampton showing eight sales.
He said this year was trending a little better with seven settled sales to date.
“One of these sales set a new record for a residence in Rockhampton,” he said.
“The property is a fully renovated Queenslander set on over 3000 square metres in the south side suburb of The Range.
“We do know of a further six sales currently under contract at the time of publication which will see the Rockhampton market break ten sales for $1 million plus residential sales for the year.
“Of the under contract sales, there will also be another record set for the North Rockhampton suburb of Parkhurst in a modern rural residential estate.
“We are aware of a property under contract that had an asking price of offers over $1.4 million.
“The agent advises that there were three offers made within a couple of weeks of listing, all above the list price.”
He said over the course of the past two years, the market improvement had been led from the top down which goes against the previous market cycles when market activity traditionally improved from the bottom up and eventually forced prices up in the prestige sector.
“We consider this to be a result of post-pandemic influences, low interest rates, sky rocketing renovation and building costs, labour shortages, southern buyers moving to the area and major infrastructure works in the region all combining to attract the market to better quality, established housing,” he said.
These are the 22 real estate agents in Rockhampton and the Capricorn Coast that are performing at the top of their agencies.
