<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/chermside-qld-4032">Chermside</a> is better known for bus interchanges and Westfield than for high-end apartment towers. Kabbalah, on Playfield Street, is a deliberate push against that reputation.

Developed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/playfield-developments">Playfield Developments</a>, the building holds 64 apartments, all three and four bedrooms, across its 13 storeys. The apartments are generous by any measure: lower-floor three-bedrooms start at 164 sqm, each with a multi-purpose room and private balcony, while the north-facing penthouse stretches to 382 sqm. Every residence comes with two car spaces.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ana-architects">ANA Architects</a>, the Brisbane firm behind the 25-storey Willahra Tower on Queen Street and the 45-storey Mantra on Mary in the CBD, shaped the building around curved forms drawn from the natural landscape. Balcony gardens run throughout, with planter boxes worked into the private outdoor spaces of each apartment, giving residents greenery at the threshold rather than just at the rooftop.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149578 project_image_fid=354319]

That rooftop carries its own weight: a pool, landscaped gardens, and outdoor entertaining areas sit above the city, designed as much for quiet evenings as for hosting. The wellness offering continues at ground level, where a centre with pool, sauna, and communal lounge zones anchors the building's other end. Together they give the building a rhythm, somewhere to arrive at the top and somewhere to retreat to below.

The site itself is part of the pitch. "One of the last available sites to develop in an established precinct," is how Playfield Developments describes the Playfield Street address, and the surrounding context backs that up. Westfield Chermside, the second largest Westfield in Australia, is within a few minutes on foot, along with its dining precinct and cinema complex.&nbsp;

The Chermside bus interchange connects directly to the Brisbane CBD and across the northern suburbs via more than 20 Translink routes, with the CBD roughly 15 minutes away by road. The Prince Charles Hospital, one of Queensland's major teaching hospitals and the state's leading cardiac centre, is roughly a kilometre up the road on Rode Road.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149578 project_image_fid=354321]

Place Projects is handling sales, bringing a track record across some of Queensland's largest residential developments. Early buyer response has centred on the finishes and scale, "buyers consistently comment on the high-quality finishes throughout the apartments," the sales team notes, pointing to craftsmanship and considered design as the recurring draw.&nbsp;

"They're looking for generously sized apartments that offer both space and functionality, combined with a strong lifestyle offering," Place Projects says.

Construction has been awarded to Clearcon, with completion slated for late 2027. Pricing runs from $1.5 million for a lower-floor three-bedroom up to $3.65 million for the penthouse.

Playfield Developments brings 64 apartments to Chermside with Kabbalah

More than 3,000 dwellings are currently selling or gearing up to launch across Surfers Paradise, the suburb’s most concentrated apartment pipeline in years. At least eight projects are already in market, with more moving through registration and presale, creating a meaningful wave of new supply.

This isn’t happening in a vacuum. Strong interstate migration into Queensland, particularly the Gold Coast, continues to underpin demand, with the local population expected to push past 800,000 in the early 2030s.

We’re also seeing solid early-stage buyer activity. As usual, the earliest phases tend to offer the best mix of pricing and choice, before the more popular layouts get snapped up.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/exhale-surfers-paradise-8-enderley-avenue-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Exhale</a> is the newest apartment development to launch in Surfers Paradise.

Exhale, being developed by SIERA, comprises just 54 apartments, a density not often seen in Surfers. It sits on the corner of Enderley Avenue and Garfield Terrace, just off Northcliffe Beach. SIERA Founder and Managing Director Brent Thompson spent over a year trying to secure the rare beachside site.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=359603]

SIERA engaged BDA Architecture to design the building, with a striking glass curtain wall&nbsp;façade.

Offering two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments, Exhale will also offer its residents a two-level wellness podium with a heated magnesium pool, spa, sauna, Nordic&nbsp;cold shower, and biophilic designed landscaped gardens.

There's also a dedicated Pilates and yoga studio, library and reading retreat, cinema lounge, and private dining room with a private bar and wine cellar.

Paradiso Place is the largest project currently in market in Surfers Paradise. Developer SPG Land recently begun construction on its 845-unit development they are bringing to 103 Ferny Avenue.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106566 project_image_fid=185858]

At this scale, it’s effectively its own sub-market, offering a wide mix of configurations across multiple price points, from entry-level investor stock through to larger owner-occupier product. Amenities include a pool, gym, and outdoor spaces.

With projects of this size, early buyers typically benefit most from the broader selection before key layouts are taken up.

26 Vista has benefitted from the boom in Surfers Paradise over the last few years. Over 70 per cent of the 280 apartments have sold, with the remaining priced from $1.86 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=365605]

26 Vista, being developed by MRCB, is scheduled to complete in late 2030 and has attracted strong interest from locals and interstate buyers, Matt George, from project marketer Urban Activation, says.

“The diverse mix of buyers we’ve seen investing in this development stands as a testament to the superior product that is being offered. 26 Vista is truly the gold standard for coastal living, with its thoughtfully considered design and its commitment to providing residents with five-star luxury in sub-tropical surrounds.”

Away from the beach and closer to the Budds Beach area of Surfers Paradise is Homecorp's new tower, Florence Residences.

There's a lot more to come in Surfers Paradise in the coming years. The most interest is likely the two-tower beachfront project proposed by Winx billionaire John Camilleri. The two towers, which will comprise 275 apartments, are to be connected by a 45-storey skybridge.

On the more boutique end, Cavella, by SEYAH, will have <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/qld/first-look-seyah-to-launch-cavella-in-emerging-sunrise-boulevard-surfers-paradise-pocket-following-density-rethink">just 18 residences</a> across a more modestly-sized 12-level building, also nearer the river than the beach.

<h2 data-end="5234" data-section-id="1kp72fk" data-start="5187">What Buyers Should Weigh Up Before Enquiring</h2>

Where a project sits in the development cycle matters just as much, if not more than, the price.

An off-the-plan apartment at registration stage may offer the lowest entry point, but it typically comes with a 24–36 month settlement timeline.

Later-stage projects trade some of that upside for greater certainty, so the right choice ultimately depends on your timeframe, risk appetite, and what you’re prioritising: price, selection, or delivery.

The 3,000 apartments to reshape Surfers Paradise skyline

An $8 million penthouse has sold at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/pomeroy-pacific-quattro-corp">PQD</a>’s <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kooyongkoot-hawthorn-1-kooyongkoot-road-hawthorn-vic-3122">Kooyongkoot</a> development in Hawthorn, marking one of the highest apartment sales ever recorded in the suburb and across the wider City of Boroondara.&nbsp;

The three-bedroom penthouse, featuring two living areas, a study and expansive outdoor living across two levels, including a rooftop pool, spans 577 sqm, with nearly 300 sqm of internal living space and a further 281 sqm externally.

The penthouse was purchased by a Melbourne-based CEO, who is downsizing from a large family home nearby, and will move into the apartment with his two adult children.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355297]

“Our family is entering a new phase, and apartment living offered an opportunity to embrace a different lifestyle while still having the space we’re used to,” the buyer said.&nbsp;

“Kooyongkoot immediately gave us confidence in the developer. Every detail feels deliberate, from the overall design down to the smallest touches. The level of quality and refinement is exceptional, but what really sold it was how liveable it felt. My wife and I loved features like the dog wash, oversized storage rooms and private garages because they showed genuine thought for everyday life. It felt like a place where everything had been considered, not just a luxury building.”&nbsp;

Designed by award-winning architecture studio <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>, Kooyongkoot comprises just 18 luxury residences within <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hawthorn-vic-3122">Hawthorn</a>’s tightly held Scotch Hill precinct.&nbsp;

The development incorporates a curated suite of lifestyle amenities, including a private wellness centre featuring infrared and traditional saunas, massage and therapy rooms, a yoga and pilates studio, a gymnasium and cold therapy shower, alongside a residents’ retreat, a golf simulator and other convenience features.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355303]

The buyer said the penthouse’s scale and design were key factors in the decision.&nbsp;

“The layout offers the same core living spaces you would expect in a large family home, which makes multi-generational living comfortable, but without the ongoing maintenance of a freestanding house.

“The wellness facilities and rooftop space were also compelling. They’re rare in a building of this size and add another dimension to the lifestyle the development offers,” he said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355262]

Mark Pomeroy, Director of PDQ, said the purchase reflects a broader shift in Melbourne’s prestige apartment market, where downsizers are increasingly seeking larger residences that allow adult children to remain at home longer while maintaining independence.&nbsp;

“We’re seeing more families choose apartment living without sacrificing space. For many downsizers, the reality is that adult children are staying at home longer, so buyers are looking for large apartments that allow everyone to live comfortably.”&nbsp;

Research conducted by the University of Melbourne in 2024 found that just over half of young men (54%) and 47% of young women aged 18 to 29 years old are still living under the same roof as their parents.&nbsp;

The penthouse sale places the transaction among the highest apartment sales ever recorded in the City of Boroondara, with only a handful of comparable penthouse deals including Victoria Hill in Camberwell (around $15 million) and Rondure House in Kew (around $6.5 million).&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355304]

Located on prestigious Kooyongkoot Road in Hawthorn, the development sits within walking distance of parklands, private schools, Auburn Village and Camberwell Junction, and offers direct tram access to Melbourne’s CBD. Kooyongkoot’s main building structure was completed in March 2026, with residents expected to move in from November 2026.&nbsp;

A limited selection of residences remains available, offering penthouse scale living without traditional penthouse pricing. Options range from oversized two-bedroom apartments to corner three-bedroom residences with private three-car garages and generous storage. Pricing starts from $1.9m, rising to the mid-to-high $4 million range. The final penthouse is available for private viewing upon request.&nbsp;

Kooyongkoot is being delivered by PQD (Pomeroy Quattro Developments), a Melbourne-based development partnership focused on creating boutique, design-led residential projects in premium locations across the city.&nbsp;

Kooyongkoot records $8m penthouse sale as multi-gen leads the way

Excited buyers in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen">Abadeen</a>'s debut Gold Coast apartment development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/villea-palm-beach-26-mawarra-street-palm-beach-qld-4221">Villea</a> at Palm Beach, are almost ready to walk through their brand new apartments.

The Mawarra Street project is entering its final construction phase, with interiors now taking shape ahead of completion in the coming months. The 69-residence development, located just 400 metres from the beachfront, introduces a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments to a part of the Gold Coast where demand has steadily shifted toward larger, owner-occupier-focused layouts.

Abadeen, alongside selling agents <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/srq-projects">SRQ Projects</a>, has held back a selection of its most premium residences until the final release. The remaining three-bedroom apartments, each spanning more than 150 sqm of combined internal and outdoor space, are positioned toward the upper levels of the low-rise building.

Corner positioning is a defining feature in many of the three-bedroom residences, particularly those with north-east orientation. This brings natural light throughout the day and enables cross-ventilation across the main living spaces. Full-height glazing reinforces the connection between indoors and outdoors, with the living zone and adjoining balcony functioning as a continuous space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106840 project_image_fid=336449]

The kitchen is integrated into the central living area, anchored by stone benchtops, European appliances, and bespoke joinery. Engineered oak flooring runs throughout the main living spaces, creating a consistent material palette.

Bedrooms are arranged to separate the primary suite from the secondary rooms. The master typically includes a walk-in robe and ensuite with double vanity, while the additional bedrooms are positioned for privacy from the main living areas. Several layouts also incorporate a dedicated study zone, reflecting the increasing need for flexible work-from-home arrangements.

Outdoor space has been treated as an extension of the apartment rather than an afterthought. Balconies are proportioned to accommodate both dining and seating, allowing for everyday use rather than occasional entertaining. In upper-level residences, these spaces also capture broader coastal views, including sightlines toward Burleigh Headland and Snapper Rocks.

SRQ Projects Director Nick Clydsdale said the ability for buyers to soon walk through the apartments and experience their scale and aspect firsthand is expected to drive strong final demand.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106840 project_image_fid=336450]

Abadeen’s approach to Villea reflects a deliberate focus on owner-occupiers, particularly downsizers and local buyers seeking larger homes near the beach. Founder Justin Brown said the project aligns with the group’s emphasis on “design-led living, premium quality, and the convenience we are bringing for residents to feel part of a perfect beachside community.”

"It is a particularly special project for us, being our first with spectacular ocean views, just metres from the water and with the addition of ground-floor retail."

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=106840]

Inside the three-bedroom apartments at Villea Palm Beach

For more than 170 years, the Buckingham Arms Hotel stood as a cornerstone of Gilberton’s social life. First opened in 1849, the hotel quickly became a gathering place for locals, evolving alongside the suburb as Adelaide expanded north of the CBD.

Generations of families passed through its doors, with the Simpson family stewarding the venue for decades before the Matthews family introduced its famous smorgasbord in 1955, an offering that became a local institution.

When the hotel closed in 2022, it marked the end of a remarkable chapter in Gilberton’s history while setting the stage for a new era at the site.

Local builder-developer Citify secured the property and plans to fully restore the hospitality venue, returning it to its former grandeur. The project will also expand the broader precinct, incorporating a new apartment building designed to complement the heritage character of the longstanding pub.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149055 project_image_fid=363676]

Citify Founder and Managing Director Joel Wilkinson says the opportunity to acquire such a unique site was a no-brainer.

“Gilberton is among the top five blue-chip suburbs in Adelaide,” Wilkinson says. “It’s incredibly desirable, and very few opportunities exist to develop in such a small, prestige suburb.”

Only 22 houses in the suburb sold last year, and 2021 Census data shows just over 130 apartments in the area, making it difficult to enter the tightly held property market. “It’s incredibly competitive to get into Gilberton,” Wilkinson adds.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149055 project_image_fid=363677]

The Buckingham will almost double the number of apartments in the suburb. It will comprise 173 new one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, which are already proving popular with a mix of young professionals, local rightsizers, and downsizers. The development will also include 13 expansive two-storey homes with private courtyard gardens.

Future residents at The Buckingham will have private access to a significant amount of amenity, including a swimming pool, accompanied by a full pool deck with day beds and alfresco spaces, as well as a gym and sauna.

Construction has commenced, with completion expected in 2028.

From iconic Pub to landmark precinct: Citify to revive The Buckingham Arms Hotel in Gilberton

I think there’s a strong argument that the strongest property market in Australia right now is not Sydney, nor Melbourne, but the Queensland regional city of Toowoomba.
This is the market which has not only delivered outstanding growth in the past year but has the credentials to keep on doing it. It has one of the nation’s most vibrant local economies, it has the lowest unemployment in the land, it’s affordable, it has above-average rental yields and there is a massive infrastructure spend under way.
That’s an investment cake with lots of tasty ingredients. And the icing on the cake is the resources activity in the nearby Surat Basin.
A question I always ask when a location is being boosted by exceptional circumstances is this: if all that activity suddenly stopped, would the location still be a good investment?
In the case of Toowoomba, this means: would the cake still be tasty without the icing? If all the coal seam gas and related activity stopped tomorrow, would Toowoomba still be a good buy?
The answer, unequivocally, is yes.
Toowoomba has long been an important regional centre. It’s Queensland’s largest inland city and it has that most important of ingredients, economic diversity – including agriculture, tourism, manufacturing, health &amp; community services, construction and government administration.
I’ve been shouting about Toowoomba for several years now and recently the city has been widely recognised for its many qualities.
A 2012 report by the Queensland Chamber of Commerce and Industry rated the <a href="/news">Toowoomba</a> region as the backbone of the state economy. The chamber’s Queensland Pulse Report ranked the south-west region, centred on Toowoomba, as the leader in all key criteria except one. The region led the state on business confidence, general business conditions, sales and revenue, employment levels and capital spending.
A 2013 report by Suncorp Bank rated Toowoomba as the employment capital of Australia. It had the lowest unemployment rate at 1.9%, ahead of Darwin 2.1% and Canberra 2.9%. This was reinforced in a September 2013 report which found Toowoomba’s unemployment rate was 1.5 percentage points below the national average. Toowoomba was also rated the third most “family friendly” of Australia’s 30 largest cities.
Affordability and strong rental returns are a big part of the Toowoomba appeal for invesetors. The standard house purchase is something in the high $200,000s or low $300,000s, with apartments in the mid to high $200,000s. It’s fairly easy to find 6% gross yields on houses and 6.5% on units. Vacancies are consistently low.
According to Australian Property Monitors, there has been exceptional capital growth in the past 12 months. Most suburbs have had double-digit growth in their median prices, with several recording 15% to 18%.
Prospects for ongoing performance are strong. The infrastructure spend is considerable and there is the bonus of resources activity via the coal seam gas which is feeding the new processing plants at Gladstone.
The Wellcamp Airport is well advanced in construction, there is massive investment in roads (including the $1.6 billion second range crossing, which has state and federal funding), there are plans for two major new rail links to serve the resources sector, a $300 million convention centre is in the offing and there are upgrades to medical facilities including Toowoomba Hospital.
Property developers are active, with projects that include a $350 million re-development of inner-city retail facilities, major industrial estates and an array of housing and apartment projects.
In terms of what many investors would see as the ideal investment venue – affordable prices, strong rental returns and great future prospects, underpinned by a vibrant local economy – it doesn’t get much better than Toowoomba.

Strongest property market right now isn't where you think

<html><body>
The Toowoomba residential property market remained steady throughout the first half of 2019 following a general decline since the peak of activity at the end of 2013, according to the latest Herron Todd White (HTW) residential report. 
The report suggests that although sales activity has been steady across the board, the market has continued to be multi-speed and property specific.
"There has been little consistency with variations in sale prices and buyer interest across the established suburbs," the valuation firm stated.
"The prestige market however, has been performing strongly, particularly in the eastern suburbs as has the upper end of the rural residential lifestyle market."
A recent over $1 million sale was five bedroom architect designed home in Middle Ridge.
Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac, the house at<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-qld-middle+ridge-131307442" target="_blank"> 8 Daniells Close </a>comprises master suite with walk in robe, four additional built-in bedrooms, open plan living area, and kitchen with designer cabinetry.
It's located close to Gabbinbar Homestead, Middle Ridge Golf Course, Middle Ridge Primary School, Gabbinbar Primary School, parks, restaurants, cafes, boutiques and day-to-day services.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/7/1/middle%20ridge%20.jpg" alt="">
The median sale price for houses across the Toowoomba Regional Council LGA has displayed little growth over the past four years, sitting at approximately $380,000 at the end of 2018, up from $375,000 in June 2015.
According to the HTW report, another key indicator of the steady property market is the volume of property sales.
In the six months ending December 2018, there were approximately 1,320 transactions across the Toowoomba Regional Council LGA.
This is slightly less than the same period one year earlier, when approximately 1,375 sales were recorded and further highlights the steady residential property market.
"The unit market has followed a declining trend, with low sales volumes following the oversupply of unit products that became apparent throughout 2016.
"Land sale volumes have continued to decline since a peak in mid 2015," the valuation firm noted. 
Toowoomba has seen an explosion of retirement village developments in recent years, ranging from medium density multi-level projects to low density detached dwellings.
These projects are spread right across the city, from Glenvale in the west to Highfields in the north, with more projects being planned.
The report suggests that this retirement living boom could be a driving factor in the low volume of land sales and sluggish level of housing transactions.
"The surprising factor is that residential vacancy rates continue to decline," the valuation firm said. 
In postcode 4350, the vacancy rate was just 2% as at April 2019.
A circa 1950 house in postcode 4350 has recently been sold for $350,700.
Set on a 908 square metre block, the brick house at<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-qld-east+toowoomba-129059814" target="_blank"> 10 Eton Street, East Toowoomba </a>comes with three bedrooms, spacious kitchen, open brick fireplace, and double hung windows.
It's just moments from the city centre, Queen's Park, cafes and restaurants.

"This is considered tight and well below the balanced market level of 3%.
"Should this low level be sustained or continue to decline further, rental rates are likely to come under pressure.
"The steady market conditions currently being experienced in the residential property market across Toowoomba are expected to continue throughout the remainder of 2019."

Toowoomba mortgagee house sold at auction for $210,000

Toowoomba's residential property market is stable but lacking consistency.
The Toowoomba residential property market has continued to remain steady throughout the first half of 2018 following a general decline since the peak of activity at the end of 2013, and although sales activity has been steady across the board, the market has continued to be multispeed and property specific, according to the June report form valuation firm Herron Todd White.
There has been little consistency with variations in sale prices and buyer interest across the established suburbs.
The report suggests that, the prestige market however, has been performing strongly, particularly in the eastern suburbs as has the upper end of the rural residential lifestyle market.
The median sale price has displayed some growth over the past 3 years, currently sitting at approximately $390,000 up from $375,000 in June 2015, the report noted.
"As of April 2018, there were approximately 1,740 houses and units listed for sale in postcode 4350 and with this is being near a 6 year high, it does not bode well for price growth in the short term." stated the HTW valuers
"The unit market has followed a similar trend to the housing market, with low sales volumes following the oversupply of unit product that became apparent throughout 2016."
Land sales volumes steadily increased in the 3 years between 2012 and 2015; peaking at 1,063 sales in 2015, while in 2016, 681 sales were recorded and then 677 in 2017.
"In contrast, vacancy rates across Toowoomba are approximately 2.3% as at April 2018, which is considered tight and below the balanced market level of 3%", noted the valuers at HTW.
"The Toowoomba Second Range Crossing project under construction appears to have assisted in maintaining low vacancy rates, with many workers residing in the region."
The valuing firm forecasts that the low vacancy rate and substantial infrastructure projects in the pipeline may reignite interest in Toowoomba residential property from investors although the steady market conditions currently being experienced in the residential property market are expected to continue throughout the remainder of 2018.

Toowoomba's residential property market stable but lacking consistency: HTW

Quest Apartment Hotels has reopened its doors in Toowoomba, following nine months of restoration work.
The hotel was damaged by fire last June, after a blaze broke out at an adjacent property. 
Building owner FKG commenced the $5 million restoration works after the blaze, replacing soft furnishings, broken windows and glass, electrical, plumbing and wiring along with fresh paint and carpet throughout, after smoke and heat ravaged the entire eastern face of the hotel.
Quest Toowoomba franchisee, Cynthia Rice has been with Quest since 2003.
“The former Church of Christ building is of significant cultural value to the local community, representing part of Toowoomba’s history, while having a wonderful aesthetic. We couldn’t be happier to have restored the property back to its former glory,” she said.
Located at 133 Margaret Street, the property features 74 apartments in total – a combination of studio apartments with kitchenettes, along with one, two and three bedroom apartments with kitchen and laundry facilities and a separate living/dining area.

Being one of the more affordable regional locations in Australia, Toowoomba and surrounding suburbs offer an opportunity for many different types of home owners.
With various industry and job opportunities, a central hub location, a diverse property market and varying segments, there are many different home owners whether FIrst home owners, families, or empty nesters, the valuation firm, Herron Todd White recently noted.
While lending has tightened and property ownership has become more difficult for the next generation, there are still good opportunities in the Toowoomba region to become a home owner, HTW suggested.
Strategies such as joint ownership can also bring affordability to young people getting their foot in the ownership door and out of the rental market. 
<div title="Page 43">

The typical product attractive to first home buyers tends to be in the sub $450,000 segment, being new 2- and 3-bedroom units as well as 3- and 4-bedroom houses located in active investor areas in the western suburbs of Toowoomba and satellite suburbs such as Cambooya and Wyreema. 
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Non-locals account for the majority of investors in Toowoomba, according to Herron Todd White’s recent report.
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The property investment firm says that locals mostly purchase to occupy.
“Investors have generally been attracted to low maintenance properties such as near new 4-bedroom 2-bathroom 2-car houses and 6-bedroom 4-bathroom 2-car duplex pairs.
“Majority of the investor market at present appears to be non-local investors with most locals purchasing to occupy.
“The majority of the investor market tends to operate in the sub $400,000 segment for houses and sub $550,000 for duplex pairs.
“In the current market it’s unknown whether investors are favouring strategies to seek higher yields or focusing on capital gains.
“With a slow moving market at present, investors are possibly looking to use a mixture of the two strategies,” the report stated.
Suburbs such as Glenvale and Cranley are hotspots for investors over the past few years Herron Todd White advises.
“Some of the western suburbs such as Glenvale and Cranley, and nearby neighbouring suburbs including Wyreema and Cambooya have tended to be hot spots for investor activity over the past few years.
“This is most likely a result of vacant space able to be developed; with other suburbs to capacity and unable to spread.
“The investor market has been strong in the Toowoomba area over the past few years with the contributing boost in infrastructure and developments recently completed and still underway.
“These projects have brought workers to the area requiring accommodation.
“It could be argued that the high investor activity recently experienced in the Toowoomba area had a negative impact on the region with an apparent oversupply situation, rise in vacancy rates and a reduction in rents.
“On the other hand this has also helped bring jobs, housing and affordability,” the report advised.
A 600 sqm block of land at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-residential+land-qld-glenvale-201838674" target="_blank">591 Greenwattle Street</a>, Glenvale (above) has sold for $160,000.

Interest in Toowoomba and surrounding areas, however, has slowed Herron Todd White warns.
“Investor interest in Toowoomba and surrounding areas has significantly slowed in the past two years, resulting in a gradual correction of the market with vacancy rates and rents stabilising.
“People looking to invest in the Toowoomba area could consider purchasing in older suburbs closer to the CBD, shops and services such as Centenary Heights, Darling Heights, Kearneys Spring, Newtown, North and South Toowoomba.
“These areas could see higher yields with proximity for convenience and have greater potential for capital growth as these suburbs have nowhere to spread,” the report warned.

Vacant land in Toowoomba's west attracting investors: HTW

Toowoomba’s property market continues to perform strongly, according to REIQ's latest Queensland Market Monitor’s quarterly report.
Over the medium term, Toowoomba has been a strong regional performer with the annual median sale price growing 21.1% for houses and 25.7% for units.
This ranks Toowoomba as the third-strongest performing regional market for housing and the best performing regional market for units in the state.
In a climate where regional residential markets have been severely challenged, this is a noteworthy result.
The March quarter delivered positive results with the median house price growing 1.3% to $355,000 and the median unit price grew a solid 2% to $309,500.
Toowoomba is one of the few regions in Queensland favoured with large infrastructure investment.
The $1.6 billion Toowoomba Second Range Crossing, the Gore Highway Interchange construction, the Murphys Creek Road and Postmans Ridge Road realignment, commencing this year.
Toowoomba is a steady market for both houses and units with a solid pipeline of projects in the region.
However, there is an increase in the supply of houses and units to this market which could affect the equilibrium of the market and its positive outlook over the coming months.
Toowoomba’s house market slipped of 0.8% over the past 12 months, to an annual median house price of $350,000 for March.
Over the medium term (five years), the housing market increased 21.1% or the equivalent of 3.9% per annum, from the annual median of $289,000 in March 2012.
There are some signs that demand is slowing.
The number of quarterly sales fell 2.4% from 551 in September to 538 in December.
Preliminary data shows a reduction to 426 transactions for the March quarter.
The most-active sale price for houses sits in transactions below $350,000.
Toowoomba is the second-most affordable local government area in the southeast corner, following Ipswich.
<a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/images/2017/06/16/Screen%20Shot%202017-06-16%20at%2010.22.41%20am.jpg" target="_blank">Click to enlarge</a>
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2017/06/16/Screen%20Shot%202017-06-16%20at%2010.22.41%20am.jpg" alt="">
The median days on market increased 10 days from 44 days in February 2016 to 54 days in February 2017.
The median vendor discounting, on the other hand, remained steady at 4.8%.
The number of listings increased significantly by 31.9% from 3906 listings in February 2016 to 5151 in February 2017.
This increase is just a reflect on of the growing supply of housing in the region.
The impact of the increasing supply on the market dynamics and median sale price will be monitored.
The unit market performed well this quarter reaching a quarterly growth of 2% to a median price of $309,500.
This growth partially compensated previous quarterly losses and helped control the dip on the annual median sale price of 0.6% with the annual median sale price falling to $308,000 for March 2017 from $310,000 for March 2016.
Over the medium term, Toowoomba remains the star performer for the unit market with the annual median sale price increasing from $245,000 in March 2012 to $308,000 in March 2017.
The size of the Toowoomba unit market is small, only about 500-600 sales per year. A comparison between the volume of sales in September and December 2016 demonstrates that demand remains steady with quarterly sales.
The most active price range for units is for transactions between $250,000 and $350,000, which aligns with the median sale price range.
<a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/images/2017/06/16/Screen%20Shot%202017-06-16%20at%2010.22.50%20am.jpg" target="_blank">Click to enlarge</a>

Market trend indicators for the 12 months to February 2017 show a slower market for units with the median days on market increasing to 80 days and the median vendor discounting reaching 5.1% for February 2017.
The number of listings reported a significant increase of 36.5% from 619 listings for February 2016 to 845 listings for February 2017.
The impact on the market equilibrium and pricing is still unknown and will be assessed when data for the June quarter is available.

Toowoomba ranked third-strongest performing regional housing market in Queensland

<html><body>
The residential housing market in South East Queensland has experienced stellar growth, with hotspots within the state popping up ahead of the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, Stage 2 of Gold Coast Light Rail, and the refurbishment of Coomera Town Centre according to Choice Homes.
Areas such as Ipswich, Beaudesert and Logan are coming on strong, according to their latest Urban Appeal report.
Troy Knight, company director, Choice Homes, said the Ipswich market is warming up and there’s plenty of data to prove it.
“The city has one of the fastest growing populations in Australia, increasing by 700 percent in the last decade," he said
“The region is hugely popular with families due to its retail and family amenities, local employment opportunities and great educational and transport infrastructure.
“The Queensland Government has earmarked Ipswich and its surrounding suburbs as a major growth corridor.
“Private and government investment in the area, including the hotly anticipated $200 million upgrade of the Ipswich motorway, RAAF Amberley base, $190 million railway maintenance centre and $1 billion Ipswich CBD revitalisation program, is further driving demand.
“A vast array of new roads, transport links and accessible residential communities are starting an important new chapter in the development of Queensland’s fastest-growing city.
“These infrastructure initiatives, also a catalyst for job creation and commercial development, will add value to property in the surrounding areas.”
The report notes Beaudesert will continue to grow and attract more people in the area with low vacancy rates, affordable housing and easy access to the metropolitan areas of the Gold Coast and Brisbane.
It said local population is forecast by the Scenic Rim Council to triple by 2036 as the region emerges as a significant satellite of Brisbane and the Gold Coast, both less than an hour away.
“Much of the city’s growth is underpinned by the Bromelton State Development Area, a 15,000ha area less than 6km from Beaudesert,” the report said.
“Included in the SDA is the Bromelton State Industrial Park, an 1,800ha parcel that will deliver an estimated 18,000 new jobs to the region.”
Troy Knight said Logan, situated between Brisbane to the north and Gold Coast to the south, is ideally placed for continued growth due to its central geographical location and available young workforce.
“The Logan area is about to embark on a major growth phase due to land availability,” he said.
“Median rental yields are showing market momentum, with 6.3 percent returns for houses.
“High-level growth is a result of affordable properties with above-average rental yields, widespread transport links, a diverse mix of industries providing employment and a growing economy.
“Many of the city’s older suburbs have been revitalised through urban renewal projects, with a new emphasis on social elements – such as dining, entertainment, recreation and cultural diversity – rounding out the city’s new image.”

Hotspots in South East Queensland residential property market

<html><body>
Pimpama in Queensland has been pinpointed as Australia's number one housing hotspot, based on its performance during 2015/16.
It is a suburb in the northern part of the City of Gold Coast, located on the Pacific Motorway 30 kilometres north of Surfers Paradise.
In second place was Sydney's Cobbitty-Leppington area, followed by Palmerston-South in the Northern Territory, according to HIA's latest Population &amp; Residential Building Hotspots 2017 report released on Sunday.
<a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/images/2017/05/28/Screen%20Shot%202017-05-29%20at%208.47.43%20AM.png" target="_blank">Click to enlarge</a>
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2017/05/28/Screen%20Shot%202017-05-29%20at%208.47.43%20AM.png" alt="">
Population in these areas grew by more than the 1.4 percent national average during 2015/16 and had at least $150 million worth of residential building approved, HIA said. 
Palmerston-South in the NT in third place in the national Top 20. Nine of the top 20 hotspots are located in New South Wales. 
“With 2016 representing a record year for new home building activity across Australia, the housing industry has been supporting economic activity in localities up and down the country. The good news on housing is not confined to the major capital cities – today’s report shows that regional Australia is also peppered with housing Hotspots,” commented HIA Senior Economist Shane Garrett. 
“In terms of its economic contribution, the housing industry is truly unique. Today’s report identifies 86 separate areas in every state and territory across Australia where residential building activity is acting as the engine of economic activity, employment and development. Small businesses are particular beneficiaries of housing activity,” concluded Shane Garrett. 
Nationally, an area qualifies as a Hotspot if its population grew by more than the 1.4 percent national average during 2015/16 and at least $150 million worth of residential building was approved during the year.
Pimpama's latest residential development is Halcyon Greens, a $300 million masterplanned community for over 50s.

Gold Coast's Pimpama pinpointed as Australia's home building hotspot by HIA 

<html><body>
Century 21 Australasia chairman Charles Tarbey believes property investment in Sydney's Rouse Hill, the Sunshine Coast, Melbourne and Perth may hold good prospects for future investment.
Writing on Peter Switzer's Switzer Daily, Tarbey said Melbourne apartments and homes in Perth will be areas to watch.
He said more and more Australians are turning to property as their preferred asset class and taking advantage of the current low interest rate environment to invest in the relative security of bricks and mortar.
"A question I am often asked concerns the best places to invest as people eagerly seek to discover the hotspots for their next property purchase. 
The nature of the real estate cycle means that markets are consistently changing and it is difficult to predict movements with certainty.
"Prudent property investors will be researching, looking at data, engaging with professionals and putting all of this together to make the most informed decision possible for their personal circumstances. 
"Here are a few of my thoughts on locations in Australia that may hold good prospects for property purchases moving forward."
Melbourne
"According to CoreLogic, Melbourne experienced a 1.5 eprcent lift in prices over the month of February, and a 13.1 percent increase for year-on-year," he said.
"The state of Victoria as a whole is a strong market, however Melbourne in particular holds good prospects over the long term as a place for investment due to the strength of the economy and the prices of properties compared to similar property brackets in its northern neighbour, NSW. 
"Apartments are steadily coming on to the market, but at a slightly greater rate than demand. Unit approvals have risen 32.2 percent compared to a year ago according to ABS data from January 2017, so investors should remain wary of unit purchases that don’t meet their strict investment rules. 
"I believe that Melbourne remains a place where property exists in a good price range for such an iconic city, which may mean it endures as an attractive and relatively safe investment destination when taking a long-term view."
Rouse Hill and Surrounding Areas
"Rouse Hill sits around 42 kilometres north-west of Sydney and has quickly emerged as an area with good prospects for property investment," he said.
"CoreLogic data shows the median sale price of houses has increased 53.6 percent over the past five year, equating to a compound annual growth rate of around 9 percent. 
"Infrastructure is often a valuable indication of a suburb with good investment prospects as accessibility is enhanced. With construction of the Sydney Metro North West rail project well underway, we have seen many new developments of both houses and apartments emerging in the area. 
"Homes selling with million dollar price tags have become more frequent as people are attracted by qualities such as the family-friendly lifestyle found in Rouse Hill and surrounding areas, as well its location that is in relatively close proximity to the city. 
"With such a rapid growth in prices of late many might be wondering whether they have missed the boat on Rouse Hill and surrounding areas. I believe there are still suburbs around Rouse Hill that hold value for investors and it is hard not to believe that Rouse Hill itself won’t continue to enjoy growth over the long term as the train line begins operation and this micro economy, fuelled by the North West commercial district, comes into its own."
Sunshine Coast
"Stretching from Caloundra up to Noosa Heads, the Sunshine Coast region has been on the radars of many Australians," he said.  
"The area offers a great coastal lifestyle, which makes it an attractive destination that can satisfy the needs of those looking for a new home, rental property or holiday home. 
"According to CoreLogic’s regional report for the September 2016 quarter, the Sunshine Coast was one of the top performers in Queensland, along with the Gold Coast, and experienced lifts in both house and unit values. 
"Median values across Queensland’s Sunshine Coast rose by 4.1 percent for houses and 3.0 percent for units over the year ending September 2016.
"The region may hold good opportunities for investors as properties are still relatively cheap compared to other markets, the region is fairly iconic for both Australians and international visitors, and the area’s relatively close proximity to Brisbane should see it be a desirable location for Queenslanders for many years to come. 
"However, if the market encounters an influx of interest, there runs the risk that it can result in an oversupply of rental stock. Investors should remain cautious of this and ensure they are borrowing within a predetermined budget to avoid any financial shock should they encounter difficulty in attracting and keeping a good tenant."
Perth
"The Western Australian market has been struggling for a while now as it encountered the effects of a downturn in mining activity. This has been particularly prominent in comparison to other state markets that have been experiencing continuously strong growth," he said.
"CoreLogic data showed that Perth home values have fallen by -0.9 percent over the three months to February 2017. While prices are still experiencing downward movement in many areas, this trend may begin to attract the interest of investors looking for value laden purchases. 
"Investors may be able to secure property at a fair price, and should be watching areas in and around Perth as its potential to stabilise is good and any large increase in mining activity can see that property market explode very quickly."
