QMM STATE-WIDE COMMENTARY
Proudly supported by
Sales activity across Queensland over the June quarter was up across all property types with increases in preliminary sales for house, units and townhouses; and an impressive 37 per cent in vacant land sales.
This increase in sales activity was predominantly recorded in the southeastern corner of the state. The Brisbane Local Government Area led the charge with an increase of 19 per cent, closely followed by Logan, which was up 18 per cent.
Key sales market indicators also point to Brisbane’s unusually robust winter sales being replicated in a number of real estate markets throughout the State amid increasing demand, sales volumes and prices.
SEQ HOUSE MARKET TAKES THE LEAD
2 QUEENSLAND MARKET MONITOR
HOUSE MARKET
The strongest performing sectors of the Brisbane house market were at opposite ends of the spectrum, with increases in the sub-$350,000 and $1 million price brackets helping the city to its fifth consecutive quarter of growth.
On the Gold and Sunshine Coasts, sales activity remained relatively stable over the quarter amid rebounding confidence in both markets. The Gold Coast median house price rose three per cent to $515,000 over the June quarter, with median prices on the Sunshine Coast up 0.2 per cent to $468,000.
The Gold Coast’s prestige acreage market also had a strong June quarter, while the new smaller council area of Noosa recorded very strong growth, with house sales up 22 per cent.
Toowoomba continued its five year trajectory of growth, with sales activity in the Garden City up five per cent for the June quarter on the back of a thriving local economy and strong buyer activity.
Sales in Queensland’s other two major tourism centres - the Fraser Coast and Cairns - also fared well in the June quarter, with house sales up seven per cent and four per cent respectively.
While the state’s total house sales were up across all price points, the upper end of the market continued to perform strongest. Sales in the million dollar plus price point were up 28 per cent across Queensland, along with an increase of 20 per cent in the $500,000-plus range.
Million dollar sales in the unit market also strengthened, with preliminary sales numbers across Queensland up around 10 per cent.
Some of the best news to emerge is that we are beginning to see markets stabilising in Rockhampton, Gladstone and Mackay.
These three regional centres saw their house markets peak between late 2011 and early 2012. However, sales activity has been slowly decreasing ever since - except for a brief spike in sales when the stamp duty exemption for principal places of residence was reinstated in July 2012.
Rockhampton is faring best of these three regional centres, with some particularly encouraging signs beginning to emerge at the lower end of its house market. Sales volumes in Gladstone recovered in the June quarter, posting a seven per cent increase.
Mackay’s house market recorded the largest decline in sales activity, down 24 per cent compared to the March quarter, while the median house price eased just 2.5 per cent.

STATE-WIDE SUMMARY
SEE PAGE 38 FOR FULL RENTAL MARKET STATISTICS BY LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA
UNIT MARKET
Brisbane unit and townhouse sales are rising strongly, with a steady pipeline of townhouse developments contributing to a 20 per cent rise in sales in the June quarter.
The Gold Coast saw a strong increase in sales, which rose 10 per cent in the June quarter. The Sunshine Coast market is also on an upward spiral, with sales up 39 per cent in the last 12 months. Noosa posted strong growth, with unit and townhouse sales up 31 per cent.
The two standout regions for unit and townhouse sales were Ipswich and Townsville, with sales up 40 per cent and 37 per cent respectively.
Unit and townhouse sales rose on the Fraser Coast, with most activity occurring in the $250,000 to $350,000 price bracket, fuelled by strong demand for waterfront properties.
Bundaberg’s unit and townhouse market eased in the June quarter, with conditions also subdued in Gladstone and Mackay. However, sales in Rockhampton rose two per cent, spurred by sales in the $250,000 to $350,000 price bracket.
Toowoomba unit sales rose three per cent in the June quarter, with Cairns recording healthy sales growth of 17 per cent.
RENTAL MARKET
While SEQ and the tourism centres continue to exhibit tight rental conditions with vacancy rates remaining below the healthy market level of 3.5 per cent, these markets are beginning to show increasing vacancies.
Our regional centres continue to struggle, particularly those in the mining areas where FIFO employees have become an increasing trend, meaning significantly reduced demand for local rental properties. Median rents from the RTA continue to soften in the likes of Gladstone, Rockhampton and Mackay.
Toowoomba however continues record strong property market conditions both in sales and rentals, with increased investor activity reported.
Our tourism centres continue to go from strength to strength and despite increasing activity in their sales markets, their rental markets still remain some of the tightest across the state
Gross yields for a number of regions were down in the June quarter on the back of easing median rents. In Brisbane, strong median house price growth relative to stable median rents, saw the overall gross yield fall to 3.7 per cent.

REIQ RESEARCH EXPLANATORY NOTESSALES 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 are published.
N/ADue 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.

BRISBANE CITYOver the June quarter 2014, the Brisbane residential property market recorded a strong increase in sales activity for a second year running.
With June quarter sales numbers typically declining and buyer and vendor activity at its lowest during the cooler months of the year, these results are strong indicators of continued growth in Brisbane’s housing market.
Increasing median prices along with lower days on market and reduced average vendor discounting are further signs that the Brisbane market is into recovery phase.
HOUSE MARKET
In Brisbane’s house market, it was the sub-$350,000 price bracket that was the star performer, up 48 per cent, with the million-dollar-plus price bracket coming second, up 43 per cent. In sales volumes terms however, the $500,000-plus bracket continues to account for the majority of sales (about 60 per cent) and was up 30 per cent compared to the March quarter.
Brisbane’s overall median house sale price was up 2.7 per cent to $575,000. Since holding steady over the previous few years, Brisbane’s median house price has been trending upwards for five consecutive quarters now, with this June quarter being the second strongest increase to date.
Days on market for houses are down from an average 90 twelve months ago to 59 for the year ending May, making the Brisbane house market the fastest selling of all major regions.
Top performing suburbs were mixed with the likes of Camp Hill, Paddington and Inala topping the list with over 20 extra house sales compared to the March quarter.
Demand for prestige property isn’t limited to the riverside suburbs, with acreage sales seeing the suburbs of Burbank and Chandler break the million dollar mark. Only five suburbs in Brisbane recorded a median over $1 million for the year ending June.
UNIT MARKET
Brisbane’s unit and townhouse market, which typically lags the house market by around six months, has now joined the rising market with preliminary sales numbers up 20 per cent over the June quarter.
Strong sales activity was recorded in the $350,000-plus and sub-$250,000 price points, which were both up around 30 per cent, while the million-dollar-plus market saw 45 preliminary sales recorded, up from 30 during the March quarter.
While the inner city apartment market has attracted a lot of attention, top sales activity over the year to June was largely found outside of inner Brisbane with eight out of the ten top performing suburbs located in the middle to outer ring suburbs.
The high-rise unit market in Chermside continues to grow in popularity while new townhouse complexes at Wynnum West, Carina and Nundah have contributed to strong sales volumes.
Meanwhile the acreage suburb of Ellen Grove recorded strong sales in a new townhouse development, a sign that infill development is likely to become an increasing trend as developable land close to the CBD becomes scarce.
RENTAL MARKET
At the end of June Brisbane’s rental market recorded a vacancy rate or 2.4 per cent, up slightly from the end of March.
Inner Brisbane’s vacancy rate was up 0.3 percentage points to 3.4 per cent, with listings spending more than 4 weeks on the market and less than 2 applicants per rental listing. Meanwhile Brisbane’s middle to outer suburbs tightened slightly to 1.7 per cent, with time on market largely 2 to 4 weeks and 2 to 5 applicants per listing.
Demand for rental properties outside of the inner city is said to be largely driven by affordability issues which are seeing more tenants move further out, which on top of the increased investor activity is adding to the available rental stock in the inner suburbs.

Increasing median prices along with lower days on market and reduced average vendor discounting are further signs that the Brisbane market is into recovery phase
11 JUNE QUARTER 2014
BRISBANE MARKET UPDATES
Heading into Spring, the greater Brisbane area looks set to build on the strong sales momentum of the June quarter. There were increases in both house and unit sales volumes in greater Brisbane, with shorter days on market compared to a year ago.
Median sales price growth varied across the region, with some sectors of the market recording growth. Others recorded easing median sale prices on the back of increased activity at the affordable end of the market.
HOUSE MARKET
Over the June quarter 2014 the Brisbane statistical division recorded 2.2 per cent growth in its median house price to $470,000, driven by strong sales on the city’s outskirts.
Ipswich, Logan and Moreton Bay all recorded increased sales activity, with Redland also posting healthy sales activity.
Redland recorded a solid increase in the median house price, with median sale price growth in the remaining areas of greater Brisbane subdued. However, increased buyer confidence is resulting in stock that had been sitting on the market for some time starting to be taken up.
First home buyer and investor activity has reportedly been improving in Moreton Bay as progress continues on the new Rail Line, amid ongoing development of the North Lakes residential and commercial precincts.
Five of the top ten increases in preliminary sales for the June quarter were posted in Moreton Bay: in North Lakes, Kallangur, Deception Bay, Morayfield and Redland Bay.
In Ipswich many agents are experiencing large sale volumes, creating a shortage of stock. However local agents expect sales to increase heading towards 2015, buoyed by demand from interstate investors in search of higher rental yields.
Eagleby in Logan recorded a strong rise in sales and solid price growth in the June Quarter.
UNIT MARKET
Unit and townhouse sales in Greater Brisbane picked up from where they left off in the March Quarter, rising 18 per cent to the end of the June quarter. Ipswich and Redland recorded the strongest increases in unit and townhouse sales in the quarter, up 40 per cent and 19 per cent respectively.
Over the quarter, Brendale and Beenleigh recorded double digit sales growth, with Cleveland, Birkdale and Ormiston in Redlands also recording healthy increases. Bundamba in Ipswich also recorded solid sales volumes.
New townhouse complexes at Goodna have contributed to the overall median sale price for the Ipswich council area, which was up 26 per cent over the quarter.
The greatest volume of sales activity occurred in the $250,000 to $350,000 price bracket during the June quarter, with more buyers also entering the market at the sub-$250,000 mark.
RENTAL MARKET
The vacancy rate for the Brisbane Statistical Division eased to 2.3 per cent at the end of June, compared to 1.9 per cent at the end of March.
In the outer-lying suburbs of Greater Brisbane, vacancy rates have also softened in Ipswich and Logan, to more healthy market conditions. Moreton Bay and Redland City, however, continue to record tight vacancy levels, with agents in these areas reporting more demand than supply. Agents in the Moreton Bay area are seeing increased investor activity, with some NRAS developments being in strong demand.
The latest figures from the Residential Tenancies Authority (RTA) also show a decline in the total number of bonds lodged during the June quarter across three bedroom houses, two bedroom units and three bedroom townhouses compared to the previous quarter.
Steady pipelines of new developments, which are said to be attracting renewed interest from interstate investors, are expected to increase the supply of rental stock over the coming months.

16 QUEENSLAND MARKET MONITOR
REGIONAL MARKET UPDATES
Average vendor discounting on the Gold Coast is down to 6.1 per cent, compared to 12.9 per cent in June 2013. Over the same period, average days on market on the Gold Coast fell from 109 to 74.
UNIT MARKET
The Gold Coast unit and townhouse market performed strongly in the June quarter, with preliminary sales figures up 10 per cent. While there was a dip in prestige unit sales priced above $1 million, all other sectors of the unit market performed strongly.
Unit sales increases up to $500,000 were strongest, with the $500,000 to $1 million price bracket also recording healthy growth. The median unit and townhouse price on the Gold Coast at the end of the June quarter was $352,000 – up 3.5 per cent over the last 12 months.
Coolangatta, Palm Beach, Burleigh Heads on the southern end of the Coast recorded strong sales increases, with canal suburbs Mermaid Waters and Burleigh Waters also performing well.
Sales were also strong in suburbs on the northern edge of the Gold Coast such as Coomera, Helensvale and Upper Coomera.
RENTAL MARKET
The Gold Coast recorded a drop in its vacancy rate in the June quarter, down 0.5 percentage points to 1.7 per cent – a result not seen since December 2012.
Local agents report the tight vacancy rate is driven by strong economic development which is increasing competition for rental properties. They report that vacancies are being snapped up quickly by tenants, which is making rental properties more attractive to investors.
Gold Coast real estate continues to gain momentum with investors returning to the market as a result of low interest rates, low vacancy rates and improvements in the local economy. Local agents report that investors see the Gold Coast as a good value alternative to interstate markets, which have been recording double digit price growth.
Demand continues to be strong for properties in suburbs surrounding the Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct. The new Gold Coast light rail system is also delivering an important economic boost, as investors grow more confident about the city’s long term prospects.
Local agents report the 2018 Commonwealth Games is driving renewed interest in the market from local, interstate and overseas investors, with a number of Asian airlines also increasing the number of direct flights to the Gold Coast.
HOUSE MARKET
The housing market in all price brackets is performing well, with stock remaining tight and demand solid. Sale volumes have increased across most areas of the market with the medium price of houses increasing by 7.5 per cent in the year to June 2014.
Gold Coast housing picked up where it left off in the March quarter, recording consistent sales activity and solid price growth. Preliminary sales activity in Surfers Paradise were up nine per cent over the June quarter.
Hinterland suburbs Nerang and Mudgeeraba were among the other star performers to post healthy sales increases, along with Molendinar and Robina. Jacob’s Well, Yatala and Upper Coomera on the northern tip of the Gold Coast also recorded steady sales increases in the June quarter.
The strongest sales activity occurred in the $500,000-plus price bracket, with the prestige end of the market priced upwards of $1 million also performing strongly.
Auctions are also said to be getting more competitive, with many properties selling above their reserve price in another sign that confidence is returning to the marketplace.
The acreage sector is also on the rise, with preliminary sales for the June quarter up seven per cent on the back of strong prestige sales.
Agents report that buyers in all sectors remain price sensitive but they remain confident of steady price growth going forward, without any large upward spikes.

REGIONAL MARKET UPDATES
JUNE QUARTER 2014
UNIT MARKET
Preliminary data shows sales activity in Toowoomba’s unit and townhouse market increased by three per cent over the June quarter.
Local agents report a Toowoomba Regional Council incentive in 2013 to halve application fees for strata titled units has resulted in hundreds of new apartments being built and sold.
Unit sales up to $350,000 remained steady, with higher prices units and townhouses recorded solid increases in sales. Demand, prices and sales activity are expected to remain firm throughout the Spring selling period and heading into 2015.
RENTAL MARKET
Toowoomba’s rental market remained very tight at the end of June, recording a vacancy rate of 1.5 per cent.
This was up marginally from the end of March, but the thriving regional city’s vacancy rate has not gone above the two per cent mark since December 2011.
Local agents report a steady demand for well maintained and presented properties. They also report that landlords are taking the opportunity to increase rental returns to reflect the higher market value of their properties.
Strong interstate investment continues to add to the supply of rental stock, which is being absorbed by a growing workforce as the city undergoes a new wave of economic development
Toowoomba continues to be one of Queensland’s strongest performing real estate regions, with median sale prices rising by more than 20 per cent over the last five years.
This trajectory of growth continued in the June quarter amid rising sales volumes and higher house prices. The Toowoomba economy is performing strongly, with its agricultural and resource sectors going from strength to strength.
New infrastructure projects including the recently opened Wellcamp Airport and proposed Second Range Crossing are also generating economic development and jobs, which is driving growth in the housing sector.
Local agents are optimistic these trends will persist into the Spring before continuing in 2015.
HOUSE MARKET
Preliminary house sales figures show a five per cent rise in Toowoomba in the June quarter, with acreage properties also recording a strong increase of nine per cent.
Toowoomba’s median house price was up 3.4 per cent in the June quarter to $336,000.
East Toowoomba, South Toowoomba and Wilsonton all recorded double digit sales growth in the June quarter, with Rangeville and Toowoomba City also recording sales increases.
In the wider Toowoomba region Oakey and Highfields also saw an increase in sales in the June quarter.
Local agents report the housing market performed well in all price brackets, with stock remaining tight and demand solid. Sale volumes have increased across most areas of the market with the medium price of houses increasing by 7.5 per cent in the year to June 2014.
Preliminary data shows a strong increase in the $350,000 to $500,000 price bracket. Prestige house sales above $500,000 also increase by more than 50 per cent in the June quarter, with 60 properties changing hands.
Agents are reporting increased competition for new listings from both listing agents and buyers alike.
Average vendor discounting in Toowoomba is down to 4.6 per cent, compared to 7.3 per cent in June 2013, and continues to be the lowest across all major regions.

REGIONAL MARKET UPDATES
JUNE QUARTER 2014
UNIT MARKET
In the unit and townhouse market, Noosa once again was the star performer, with sales activity up 31 per cent, compared to just three per cent for the Sunshine Coast council area. Top performing suburbs include Kings Beach and Sunrise Beach, while in Nambour and Buderim sales were also up over the quarter.
With close proximity to beaches in high demand, the top sales increases over the year to June were recorded in Mooloolaba, Maroochydore and Kings Beach.
Across the Sunshine Coast region, including Noosa, sales activity was up across most price points, with the affordable end of the market performing strongest. Unit sales in the sub-$250,000 bracket were up 33 per cent compared to the March quarter, followed by the $250,000-plus bracket, up 9 per cent.
RENTAL MARKET
While investor activity is on the increase, tenant demand remains strong given the employment opportunities surrounding the multiple infrastructure and commercial developments in the region.
According to the REIQ’s latest rental survey, vacancy levels at the end of June tightened to 1.1 per cent for the Sunshine Coast council area, with Caloundra and Maroochy coastal suburbs recording 0.9 per cent and the hinterland two per cent. The Noosa Council area saw its vacancy rate ease to 2 per cent on the back of strong investor activity.
Tight vacancy rates for well over a year now are now converting to higher asking rents. Over the June quarter, median weekly rents for three bedroom house and two bedroom flats across the two council areas recorded minimal increases of $20.
The Sunshine Coast residential property market continues to go from strength to strength, with average time on market and vendor discounting one of the most improved over the last 12 months.
Over the year to June 2013, the region posted average days on market of 112 for houses and 125 for units, and average vendor discounting of 7.8 and 8.5 per cent respectively.
A year later, houses are now selling on average after 91 days and units 107 days. Average vendor discounting has also improved, with discounting six per cent for houses and 6.5 per cent for units, effectively putting nearly $8,500 more in vendors’ pockets for a median priced house.
Overall, market conditions are said to be varied from location to location, with coastal suburbs outperforming those located inland.
HOUSE MARKET
Over the June quarter, sales activity was varied across the region, with Noosa posting an increase of 22 per cent, while the Sunshine Coast Regional council area eased slightly. According to local agents, however this was short-lived, with sales over the months to September reportedly ramping up once again.
According to local agents, activity has been up across the board, with sales occurring as low as the $200,000s to upwards of $1.5 million. Most activity, however, is occurring at the affordable end of the market up to $600,000.
REIQ’S price point data confirms this, with the highest number of preliminary sales numbers recorded in the $350,000-plus bracket. Increased sales activity, however, was most prominent in the $500,000-plus bracket with an additional 35 preliminary sales recorded on the March quarter, which local agents say is dominated by home buyers.
Investors in this segment of the market are said to be active but many are missing out due to competition from premium home owner buyers.
Top performing suburbs were predominantly with medians in the mid-$400,000s, including Little Mountain, Maleny and Sippy Downs.

REGIONAL MARKET UPDATES
JUNE QUARTER 2014
RENTAL MARKET - 3 BED TOWNHOUSES
FRASER COASTThe Fraser Coast property market appears to be on the move, spurred by growing buyer confidence and economic development in the region.
With the recent completion of the much-awaited extension to the existing Stockland Shopping Centre and the completion of the new St Stephens Private Hospital expected shortly, confidence is up and property sales are increasing. Local agents expect this economic development to bolster buyer confidence heading into 2015.
Hervey Bay continues to experience tight rental market conditions and construction activity is said to have increased, with more people moving to the area.
Maryborough remains an affordable place to buy property and has continued to experience steady demand. These trends are expected to continue for the remainder of the year.
HOUSE MARKET
Overall, the Fraser Coast saw a solid increase of seven per cent in preliminary sales activity over the June quarter, with a number of affordable end sales bringing the median price down five per cent.
Over the year to June however, the median house price was up 3.5 per cent.
As a result of reducing affordable stock levels and consistent demand, agents are reporting slight price improvements in the sub-$350,000 market, and an increase in demand for properties in the $350,000 to $500,000 price bracket.
Standout suburbs in the June quarter include Urangan, Scarness and Glenwood, which all recorded strong sales activity. Maryborough, Wondunna and Eli Waters also posted healthy sales increases.
Maryborough remains an affordable place to buy property and has continued to experience steady demand. Over the June quarter, the town recorded 45 preliminary sales – the highest on the Fraser Coast.

Average vendor discounting on the Fraser Coast is down to 7.5 per cent, compared to 12.8 per cent last year. Over the same period, average days on market on the Fraser Coast have fallen from 124 to 110.
Agents are reporting increased activity on the part of first home buyers as the market enters a new era of growth.
UNIT MARKET
Over the June quarter, sales activity was also up in the unit and townhouse market, most notably in the $250,000 to $350,000 price bracket. The increases are the result of strong demand for waterfront properties in the waterfront suburbs of Scarness and Urangan.
Over the year to June, unit sales were up in the suburb of Pialba, along with its annual median unit price which increased by 21.4 per cent. Unit sales were dominated by resales in a unit complex on the Esplanade, with a top sale of $600,000 - the highest sale for the suburb over the year along with another unit sold on Torquay Rd.
RENTAL MARKET
Fraser Coast continues to enjoy healthy market conditions with the vacancy rate remaining unchanged from the March quarter at 2.5 per cent. Local agents are reporting healthy tenant demand, with the growing population counteracting the oversupply of rental properties experienced in recent years.
While Hervey Bay is experiencing a relatively tight rental market, local agents say construction activity has increased as more people are moving to the area, which should see the rental market return to healthier market conditions.

REGIONAL MARKET UPDATES
JUNE QUARTER 2014
RENTAL MARKET - 3 BED TOWNHOUSES
BUNDABERGThe Bundaberg real estate market is recording solid activity in its housing sector, while there has been an easing in unit and townhouse sales. This is producing something of a two-tier effect, with local agents saying interstate investors are becoming increasingly active in the unit and townhouse category.
Confidence is returning to the market, as evidenced by lower average days on market and relatively steady vendor discounting.
Buyer competition is said to be increasing and there’s a growing sense of optimism that the market is on the verge of an upswing heading into the spring selling season.
The local economy is also set to benefit from important new infrastructure including a new natural gas pipeline expected to create around 100 new full-time jobs, a boost in tourism for Lady Musgrave Island with a new plan allowing for extra tour operators and an upgrade to tourist facilities at Mon Repos Turtle Centre.
HOUSE MARKET
Bundaberg’s median house price recorded a 5.4 per cent increase in the June quarter to $284,000, despite a small drop in sales activity. There was a strong increase in sales in the $350,000 to $500,000 price bracket, with preliminary sales numbers nearly double that recorded during the March quarter.
Sales volumes were down around 10 per cent in the sub-$350,000 price point, however it still accounted for the majority of house sales for the region.
Top performing suburbs include Norville, Bargara, Millbank and Kalkie, which recorded increases in quarterly sales activity, along with steady results in Bundaberg North, Walkervale and Elliot Heads.
Average vendor discounting over the year in Bundaberg was down to seven per cent, compared to 9.7 per cent a year ago. Over the same period, average days on market in Bundaberg fell from 96 to 83.
UNIT MARKET
Bundaberg’s unit and townhouse market saw a drop in sales activity in the June quarter, however the median sale price for units saw a strong increase of 14.1 per cent to $267,000, driven by some upper end sales.
Sales volumes in the $250,000 to $350,000 sector were relatively steady, with local agents reporting increasing interest from interstate investors seeking higher yields. Meanwhile sales volumes in the sub-$250,000 segment of the market were down significantly, contributing to the overall increase in the region’s median sale price.
While average vendor discounting has improved over the year, average days on market have increased to 125 days over the year to May.
RENTAL MARKET
In Bundaberg, the three months to June saw vacancy rates improve slightly, although market conditions are still weak. Vacancy levels are at four per cent, local agents reporting faltering tenant demand. According to local agents, investors are still active with the strongest interest reportedly for NRAS properties.
Median weekly rents from the RTA for three bedroom houses remained unchanged at $285 compared to a year ago, while two bedroom flats were down $5 to $225 per week over the same period.

REGIONAL MARKET UPDATES
JUNE QUARTER 2014
Local agents are reporting market conditions returning to those experienced prior to the mining boom, with sales volumes currently around 50 to 60 per cent of those recorded at the height of the cycle.
In essence, they say the Gladstone real estate market is returning to “normal” conditions, with “investor hype” no longer flooding the market.
Similar to other resource centres, stabilising average vendor discounting and days on market are positive signs that the market may have reached its bottom.
HOUSE MARKET
Over the June quarter, sales volumes in Gladstone recovered slightly, up seven per cent compared to the March quarter. According to local agents, the local property market has stabilised during the last quarter however sales volumes remain low and investor interest has fallen.
Average days on market are marginally up on the same period last year, however at 117 days for the year ending May, time on market has remained relatively unchanged over the past nine months.
Local agents say there is perceived to be good value in the economically important port city, with astute buyers - many local - once again starting to look for opportunities.
Home buyer interest is reportedly still increasing given the softening in the market over the last twelve months and the increased affordability on offer.
Over the quarter, the median house price was down 6.6 per cent, largely due to higher levels of activity at the affordable end of the market. Price point data has shown a doubling of volumes in the sub-$350,000 price range.
Suburbs to perform strongest over the quarter were Calliope and West Gladstone. Despite a fall in respective medians over the last year, these two suburbs ranked within the top four for median price growth over the past five years.
GLADSTONEUNIT MARKET
Gladstone’s unit market continues to make up a small portion of the local residential sales market, with just 21 preliminary sales records recorded over the June quarter. This was slightly up on the March quarter, amounting to an extra eight sales compared to the June quarter last year.
Sales volumes are tracking at around a third of that recorded at the height of the property cycle in late 2011.
Gladstone Central was the only suburb to record more than 25 preliminary sales over the year to June. With a drop off in new unit sales, the median sale pricehas come back significantly to be more reflective of established stock.
RENTAL MARKET
Gladstone’s rental market remains in oversupply, however according to local agents the level of tenant and investor activity has returned to “normal” rental market conditions. The oversupply of rentals is reportedly most conspicuous in the unit market and with tenants spoilt for choice, rents have remained low.
Local agents also say quality homes are still sought after and demand from middle and higher level management tenants are strong.
According to the RTA’s latest figures, the median weekly rents compared to 12 months ago have come down significantly with three bedroom houses down $150, two bedroom flats down $140 and three bedroom townhouses down $160.

28 QUEENSLAND MARKET MONITOR
REGIONAL MARKET UPDATES
Agents are reporting that the softening of prices has made properties more attractive to first home buyers who are very active at the moment. While there is some investment activity, owner occupiers are the main buyers and more upgraders are beginning to enter the market.
Average vendor discounting over the year in Rockhampton was down to 7.7 per cent, compared to 9.8 per cent a year ago. Over the same period, average days on market in Rockhampton have fallen from 98 to 91.
UNIT MARKET
The Rockhampton unit and townhouse market continues to show signs of recovery, with preliminary sales figures up two per cent at the end of the June quarter. Sales activity was strongest in the $250,000 to $350,000 price bracket, with steady activity in the $350,000-plus price bracket also.
Like other Queensland resource centres, the Rockhampton property market over the June quarter saw stabilising conditions.
The recent announcement of the Adani mine acquisition north of Clermont is bringing much needed confidence to the region, with local agents reporting the Rockhampton property market has finally found its feet.
Over the June quarter there was steady sales activity at the lower end of the market and with improving vacancy rates, the outlook going into 2015 is becoming more positive.
Average vendor discounting is down and properties are selling quicker, reflected by improving average days on market figures.
HOUSE MARKET
House sales in Rockhampton declined over the June quarter, however there are positive signs beginning to emerge at the lower end of the market.
There was a solid increase in sales in the sub-$350,000 price bracket, with 153 properties changing hands, seeing the overall median sale price remaining relatively steady at $316,500.
Allenstown and West Rockhampton were the best performers, with both suburbs recording an increase in sales volumes over the June quarter.
Despite an easing in sales activity over the quarter, median sale prices remained sturdy for the likes of Frenchville, the Range and Wandal, indicating stable conditions across the various price points.

REGIONAL MARKET UPDATES
JUNE QUARTER 2014
Agents report that while there is some investment activity, owner occupiers are the main buyers, with more upgraders also starting to enter the market.
Premium sale prices achieved within a number of new unit complexes along the river in the Rockhampton CBD have contributed to the significant increase in the region’s median unit and townhouse sale price, up 45.2 per cent on the March quarter.
This change to the unit and townhouse market in Rockhampton has contributed to the strong result over the year to June and compared to five years ago.
RENTAL MARKET
Rockhampton’s rental market is facing challenging conditions, with most vacancies on the market for more than four weeks.
However, the overall vacancy rate for the new Rockhampton council area has seen an improvement since the end of March, down 0.8 percentage points to 4.8 per cent at the end of June.
Local agents expect investment in units and townhouses to increase amid the prospect of tightening vacancy rates.
With the high vacancy levels experienced for a year now, median weekly rents have come down significantly with three bedrooms down $50 to $300 per week and two bedroom flats down $30 to $240 per week, compared to the June quarter last year.

30 QUEENSLAND MARKET MONITOR
REGIONAL MARKET UPDATES
A drop off in new unit developments has also contributed to the easing of the overall median sale price over the year, which was down 9.9 per cent.
Sales volumes in the upper end of the market were down on the previous quarter, while numbers held steady in the sub-$350,000 price range.
Market conditions in Mackay look to have stabilized with average vendor discounting and days on market levelling off over the three months to June.
According to local agents, the market is still quite subdued, however there is evidence that confidence is returning. Enquiry levels are up from both buyers and tenants, which local agents believe are encouraging signs.
Sales volumes are still markedly low however local agents are positive about the rest of the year and 2015, believing the market has finally hit its bottom.
Confidence is said to be slowly returning to the local property market and agents anticipate a marked improvement over the next 12 months.
HOUSE MARKET
Over the June quarter, Mackay’s house market recorded the largest decline in sales activity of all major regions, down 24 per cent compared to the March quarter, while the median house price eased just 2.5 per cent.
Local agents confirm that sales volumes have come down significantly compared to a year ago, however prices have held relatively steady, and many believe the bottom of the cycle has arrived.
Agents also say that people are beginning to relocate to the area, both from out of town and from other metropolitan areas, which is said to be a good sign of improving confidence in the local property market and economy.
There are also reports of increased mining activity in nearby Isaac council area, which will further add to overall market confidence due to improved employment opportunities.
UNIT MARKET
Like Gladstone, Mackay’s unit and townhouse market makes up a small percentage of the residential sales market, however over the June quarter sales volumes remained relatively unchanged, while the median unit sale price eased 3.5 per cent.

RENTAL MARKET
In Mackay similar conditions to Gladstone exist in its rental market, however median rents have only come back around $80 across the three main rental property types.
Vacancy rates at the end of June on the other hand have improved, down 0.7 percentage points to 6.8 per cent – however this remains the highest level for all major regional centres.
With employment levels down significantly in the Bowen Basin, local agents say the rental market has been impacted. Similar to Gladstone, investor activity has reportedly dropped off.
Building approvals are reportedly down, which is said to be good news for the rental market. With limited new stock set to come onto the market, it’s expected the existing supply will be slowly absorbed over time.

REGIONAL MARKET UPDATES
The prestige end of the market however is said to still be struggling, with units in the inner city towers bought off the plan five years ago reportedly seeing a softening in sale prices.
RENTAL MARKET
According to the REIQ’s latest rental survey, Townsville’s vacancy rate had increased 0.7 percentage points over the three months to June to 5.4 per cent – the highest vacancy the region has recorded in the REIQ’s survey history.
The market continues to be in oversupply, with NRAS developments still coming onto the market. A number of vendors are also said to be delaying the sale of their properties and renting them out until market conditions are more in their favour.
Local agents say investors are now less active, deterred by the historically high vacancy rates. Tenant enquiry levels are expected to slowly absorb the current oversupply in the coming months.
With these two factors combined, agents expect to see the vacancy rate improved come the end of September.
Over the June quarter the Townsville residential market recorded sales activity typical for the cooler months of the year, with a drop house sales compared to the previous quarter.
The unit and townhouse market bucked the trend, however, with an increase in activity. Given the oversupply of stock, this is good news for the region.
Days on market and average vendor discounting continue to trend downwards, indicating the Townsville residential market is well positioned to follow the growth seen in the south eastern corner of the state.
Local agents say that Townsville’s property market continues to be well supported by the Defence and public sector personnel, with people relocating to and from the area around the Christmas-New Year period.
HOUSE MARKET
Despite the drop in sales volumes over the quarter, the Townsville house market is said to be well positioned for the coming months leading into the Christmas period.
Average days on market have continue to slowly trend downwards, with houses taking 89 days to sell compared to 98 days a year ago. Average vendor discounting has likewise vastly improved over the year and looks to have stabilised at 7.4 per cent, down from 9.7 per cent a year ago.
These two indicators along with slowly increasing trend sales activity augur well for the region. Local agents say the established market is set to see an increase in activity over the September quarter and onto Christmas.
Despite a drop in overall activity for the region, a number of suburbs in Townsville posted healthy results over the quarter. Wulguru, Burdell and Bushland Beach in particular recorded an increase in activity.
Being two of the most expensive suburbs in Townsville, Burdell and Bushland Beach also posted an increase in their median house price, a sign that confidence is returning to the market.
UNIT MARKET
In the unit and townhouse market, local agents report continued oversupply, which is giving buyers and renters plenty of choice with the cheaper stock being most popular.
This was reflected in the price point data which showed the strongest increase in activity recorded in the sub-$250,000 price point over the quarter.
Sales activity was up across all price points, which saw the region post a strong increase in overall activity of 33 per cent.
The surge in activity was largely due to the on-sale of units in a large complex in Cranbrook, formerly owned by one family; along with the acquisition of a number of units by Defence Housing in Douglas.

REGIONAL MARKET UPDATES
The Cairns real estate market continued to perform strongly in the June quarter, with house and unit sales volumes both rising. House and unit prices are also on an upward trend as confidence in the tourism centre’s economy continues to rebound.
Overall confidence in the Cairns market is on the increase, with the negativity surrounding the Federal budget release largely forgotten by buyers and vendors.
The tourism market in Cairns is also strengthening with the recently launched new “Dreamliner” planes by Jetstar starting flights direct to Tokyo and the proposed Aquis resort fuelling renewed interest from investors in the city’s economy.

Preliminary house sales numbers in Cairns were up slightly in the June quarter, with the median sale price relatively steady at $381,000. However, the median house sale price in Cairns has gone up 4.2 per cent in the 12 months to June 2014.
Agents are reporting there is renewed investor interest, particularly in the unit market, which is performing strongly as a result. Investors are said to be active in all price brackets, in particular the $1 million-plus segment, with unit sales also strong in the $150,000 to $200,000 range.
Overall house sales activity for the quarter was strongest in the $350,000 to $500,000 price point, up 14 per cent on the March quarter.
Strong performing suburbs include Trinity Park and Holloways Beach, which both recorded double digit increases in sales volumes. Smithfield, Bentley Park and Whitfield also recorded healthy increases in sales activity.
Average vendor discounting over the year in Cairns was down to 6.1 per cent, compared to 11.6 per cent a year ago. Over the same period, average days on market in Cairns have fallen from 98 to 75.
UNIT MARKET
Cairns unit sales in the June quarter rose strongly, with preliminary volumes up 17 per cent – among the highest in regional Queensland.
The sub-$250,000 price bracket saw the strongest volume in sales with 137 properties changing hands. There was also a solid increase in sales in the $250,000 to $350,000 price bracket driven by investors seeking to take advantage of strong local rental yields.
Cairns City and Cairns North recorded strong unit sales in the June quarter, with investors seeing the city as a good long term bet as the local tourism market rebounds.
Confidence in the local economy is also rising on the back of the proposed Aquis development, fuelling demand for the prestige market sector.
RENTAL MARKET
The REIQ’s latest residential rental survey shows the Cairns vacancy rate remained tight at the end of June at two per cent. Local agents are reporting strong tenant demand, which is generating higher asking rents.
While median rents remained steady over the three months to June, Cairns recorded an increase of $20 and $10 in its weekly median rent for three bedroom houses and two bedroom units respectively, compared to the June quarter last year.
Local agents say demand for house rentals remains buoyant and investors continue to find much appeal in Cairns’ gross rental yields which averaged 4.8 and 6.4 per cent over the June quarter for houses and units respectively.
