MORE than a dozen homes in Cairns broke the million dollar mark in the first quarter of 2022 – and the top prices were spread across some surprising suburbs.
The northern beaches somewhat dominated the elite end of the market in 2021, but homes in Bayview Heights, Edmonton, Stratford and Holloway’s Beach were among those to make the list for 2022 thus far.
A common theme is stellar prices for homes on expansive land or small acreage.
