Your Property News September 2023

Spring has certainly sprung in Brisbane with the first of the Jacaranda trees blooming. With the pending school holidays, searches for beach holidays has increased tenfold. A beach stay washes away the stresses and busyness of term 3 for many families.

As a family, one of our favourite escapes is to the crisp white sands of Moreton Island. Year in and year out we make the relatively quick trip to Moreton to escape and regroup. Situated only 59km from Brisbane or a 75- minute boat ride, Moreton Island is a hidden gem.

If you are looking for your sea change on a more regular basis, a rare opportunity is now available to own – the first time offered in 21 years. 131 North Pass is one of only 10 beachfront homes at the north end of Tangalooma Resort. It is ideally positioned to take full advantage of its uninterrupted views of the wide white sand beach and sparkling Bay.

Built in 2002, the design takes full advantage of its unique position. Large living spaces across the 2 levels are complimented by expansive decks – ideal for watching the numerous outdoor water activities, spotting dolphins playing or enjoying an evening dinner with the twinkling lights of the mainland in the distance. The home has been a much-loved holiday home as well as an excellent investment property with short term holiday rentals. This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity when location and tranquility matter.

Our market is still performing strongly with stock levels tight – who hasn’t had a phone call from a real estate agent in the last month? Turning our focus on Ascot, the median house price is $2,250,000 which is up 14.5% in the last 12 months with 43 homes sold according to realestate.com.au. Average days on market has increased to 84 days demonstrating that buyers are waiting to make the right purchase – the general sense has shifted from Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) to Fear of OverPaying (FOOP). With the hold on interest rates over the last 3 months, the market is firming and finding its normal level.
