The Noosa property market by the numbers
National real estate headlines might be subdued, but in the Noosa region, the property market still continues to tick along steadily, with recent data indicating solid price growth and consistent sales throughout the area in the past 12 months.
Further analysis also highlights the fact buyer inquiry is on the rise as people look to the local lifestyle after a turbulent global start to 2020.
So, let’s take a look at the Noosa property market in detail, breaking it down by the numbers…
Why the appeal?
It’s no secret Noosa has national appeal. A laidback lifestyle combined with great weather, excellent amenities, and a true community feel sees the region top of the list for many looking to make a seachange or treechange.
Importantly, recent months have highlighted the livability of the Noosa region as a safe haven from the COVID-19 challenges of city living.
In Noosa, remote working and self-employed freedom tend to come naturally, offering an ideal destination for families raising children and retirees alike.
Over recent months that means there’s been very little downward pressure on house prices in contrast to other areas. Although housing stock has been slightly reduced, properties that hit the market are highly sought after, prices remain steady and days on market remain relatively low.
