Market Holds Early Momentum The Gold Coast prestige property market is off to a positive start in 2022 with ongoing demand driving steady growth across all sectors.

T

he first couple of months in any new year provide something of a barometer for what’s to come.

Following a year of record property price growth on the Gold Coast, just how much momentum carries through into this year has been the subject of much speculation.

While the rate of price growth may have peaked, locally we continue to see exceptional demand across the residential, commercial, new project and executive leasing sectors.

Regional residential markets outperformed capital cities over the past year and that trend continued in January when open borders enabled those southerners with sea or tree change plans to make their move.

Housing values in regional Queensland grew by 2% in January, compared with an

215-217 Jefferson Lane, Palm Beach

0.8% rise across the combined capital cities over the same month.

In the year to January, Gold Coast housing values recorded 36.3% growth – the second highest regional rate of growth Australia-wide.

Further south, the Byron Shire had the highest median house value of any regional LGA at $1,838,286 (up 30.2% year on year).

Houses on the Gold Coast have also been among the fastest to sell, averaging just 16 days on the market, according to CoreLogic’s year-to-date data.

Limited supply is likely to be a consistent theme in 2022 with many property homeowners - particularly those sitting on blue chip assets - simply not willing to sell.

Kollosche has an increasing line of cashedup buyers eager to get into the market, but even unconditional offers well above market value are not enough to entice.

It’s not surprising then that those premium properties that do come to market are attracting an impressive volume of enquiry via our social media channels, digital and print marketing.

Solid enquiry is coming through on a rare site at 215-217 Jefferson Lane, Palm Beach which is jointly listed by Kollosche Commercial’s Adam Grbcic and Tony Grbcic, and residential agent Troy Dowker.

The rare 817.4m2 double block fronts the sand and surf on a corner position with dual street frontage to prestigious Jefferson Lane and Thirteenth Avenue with approval in place for a nine-storey tower plus pool and basement parking.

31 Beaconsfield Drive, Burleigh Waters

This prime site was scheduled for auction on-site on Friday, 4 March at 3pm.

A fully rendered residence at 31 Beaconsfield Drive, Burleigh Waters has been the subject of widespread intrigue and interest since it launched in mid-February.

Marketed by Eoghan Murphy and myself, the one-of-a-kind creation features arched entries and soaring curved ceilings finished entirely in Venetian plaster and textured render.

Having featured on realestate.com.au, The Gold Coast Bulletin and Channel 9 news, that auction is shaping up to be eventful on Sunday, 13 March at 11am.

NEW APARTMENTS AND PREMIUM RENTALS It’s not just the residential housing market that’s hit the ground running in 2022.

The prestige property rental sector remains tight, with Kollosche’s Executive Leasing team reporting premium pricing for properties presented to a high standard in key locations.

Kollosche recently achieved $920 per week for a two-bedroom apartment in Palm Beach while a $1,650 per week tenant signed on for a five-bedroom waterfront residence in Sorrento.

Apartment stock is sliding off the plan at Aspire on Garfield Terrace, Surfers Paradise where Kollosche’s New Projects

Infinity, Broadbeach

team took Expressions of Interest on half of the stock within four weeks of the project’s late December launch.

The team has also sold out Infinity Broadbeach, White Main Beach and stage one of 'The Lanes' Residences in Mermaid Waters where construction is now underway.

Now is the time to reach out for advice on the value of your asset, particularly those whose expectations have not been met elsewhere.

We are seeing enough buyer depth in our database to achieve premium results for properties that are presented, positioned and priced correctly.

January and February results reflect a level of confidence that puts the Gold Coast property market in a positive position as 2022 unfolds.

Comparative affordability, ongoing migration trends, low stock levels and a lust for lifestyle continue to fuel demand and steady price growth.

As we move through March, Kollosche invites homeowners to take advantage of the current momentum in the market.

living and dining area a natural extension of the outdoors.

Clean lines and contemporary finishes give the house a modern edge while dedicated zones in which to relax or gather with guests creates an inviting charm.

“We wanted a really functional home – that was the biggest thing,” says Angela.

“Plus, we wanted to let the winter sun in and keep the summer sun out.

“Entertaining was important too so we used materials that required limited maintenance so we could just enjoy being here.”

And when the mood shifts into party mode the recreation room – a self-contained entertaining pavilion – is the ultimate destination, with a full bar, kitchen, bathroom and deck.

Guests can also enjoy woodfire pizza from a quaint garden courtyard or serve up teppanyaki in the expansive all-weather alfresco terrace.

The rear outlook encompasses a 14-metre pool, spa and an expansive eyeful of Main

River and the Gold Coast Botanic Gardens – a view which can never be built out.

A 12-metre pontoon, championship tennis court, media room, executive office and CBUS home automation round out the reasons you won’t want to leave.

“It’s just so peaceful,” says Angela.

“It’s lovely to sit here with my morning coffee and look down the river.

“People come here and say they feel like they’ve escaped. They joke they couldn’t get to Bali, but they come here and are transported.”

While the private entertainer might feel like a world away, the location could not be more central nor convenient for all members of the family.

The Carrara estate is minutes from Emmanuel College and the shops, golfing and parklands of Emerald Lakes while AFL fans are set with Metricon Stadium just down the road.
