GREAT FOR INVESTOR - GREAT FOR TAX - GREAT FOR MINERS
Page 22 - Shift Miner Magazine, 13th September 2010
THE price of houses in key mining towns has recovered any losses incurred during the global financial crisis, according to the Real Estate Institute of Queensland. The median price for a house in Moranbah is now $460,000 up nearly five per cent from last year. At Blackwater, prices are up by nearly six and a half per cent to $303,000, reflecting the strong outlook for the mining industry. Despite the strong result in mining towns, the trend is changing elsewhere in the region. In Biloela and Proserpine, the three months to June were very difficult in the real estate industry - with falls in the median house price of nearly 24 per cent. The fall suggests there was either an end of financial year fire sale or, alternatively, the peak in house prices for those centres has past. Recent political uncertainty and the unresolved mining tax has put a
brake on local business. A number of local real estate agents said enquiry virtually dried up when the mining tax was announced, and didn’t pick up when the election was called shortly after. REIQ Rockhampton zone chair Noel Livingston said it’s been an unsettled time. “The ambiguity of the proposed miners’ tax during the June quarter also had a major impact on investors entering the Rockhampton property market,� he said. “The miners are a big part of the [real estate] industry, although we’re hoping once the election is over, this will help bring them back.� In Mackay, the median house price was up nearly four per cent for the year, but down nearly two percent in the last quarter. In Rockhampton, the median house price was up more than five per cent over 12 months but down one and a half percent in the last three months. In Gladstone, there has been no change for the 12 month period,
