Real estate boom continues

By Jo Kennett

KINGSCLIFF HAS come in at number five in the nation for growth in real estate according to the latest PropTrack data, which has revealed the areas with the largest percentage increase in median house and unit prices in the ten-year period to March 2023.

PropTrack senior economist Paul Ryan said it had been an “eventful” past 10 years for Australian property, with prices at a national level increasing by an

enormous 83 per cent.

“But this new data pinpoints the suburbs where prices have grown by even more – and in some cases substantially more.”

Mr Ryan said the biggest winners have been houses in lifestyle and holiday destinations and it was no surprise that Tweed and Byron Bay led the charge with Byron prices exploding from $650,000 in 2013 to a median of $3 million this March, a jump of 361.5 per cent.

Our own beach side jewel Kingscliff came in at number five

in the nation’s top growth suburbs. House prices in the Tweed Coast town jumped an astronomical 237 per cent from $595,000 in March 2013 to a median of $2,005,000 this year. Lucky you Kingscliff homeowners; I’m jealous. Kingscliff was also number four in the nation with the largest percentage increase in median unit prices to March 2023, with median unit prices jumping from $332,500 in 2013 to $862,500 — a pretty good increase on your investment of 159.4 per cent.

Casuarina also made the NSW price growth list with data showing beach side locations along the New South Wales coast have seen “incredible growth”, according to Mr Ryan. While Kingscliff came in at number four in the state for price growth in homes and number two for units over the past ten years, Casuarina units slipped into the top ten at number nine.

Casuarina unit prices went from a median of $382,500 in 2013 to $946,750 — a return of 147.5 per cent.

According to local real estate agents the market is still going great.

Tate Brownlee Real Estate

principal Tate Brownlee said they have noticed a pick up in sales.

“At our March auctions we sold eight out of 11 under the hammer and we have sold seven out of 13 under the hammer already in April,” he said.

“We have three others under offer at the moment and we have run 35 auctions for the year so far.

“Our numbers at open homes are between 90 and 100 on average over a weekend so we are really making strong numbers.”

Tate said they were still seeing a lot of interest from interstate and city buyers.

“There is a lot of interstate interest from Melbourne, Canberra and Brisbane, and a little bit from Western Australia as well, and there is still a lot of interest from Sydney buyers,” he said.

“We had several properties sell prior to auction and some are still selling well above reserve.”

DJ Stringer Property Services principal David Stringer said he had noticed a slight swing into a buyer’s market over the last few weeks.

“There are still buyers around

and we have noticed more stock coming on the market,” David told The Weekly.

“More populated areas like Banora Point and Tweed Heads have more listings coming on so that obviously means more selection for buyers.

“There is more of a swing to the buyer’s favour and that’s the biggest thing we’ve seen in the last two or three weeks.

“There isn’t as much frenzy as at the start of the year and now people are moving around a bit more and buyers have got a bit more confidence to wait and obviously negotiate accordingly.”

David said things did get “a little crazy” over the last couple of years because there was a shortage of stock and a lot of buyers.

“There were a lot of people who wanted to sell but didn’t because they couldn’t find somewhere else to move to, which also limited stock,” he said.

“Now they have more choice as more places go up for sale and so are putting their places on the market as well which is also increasing stock and choice for buyers.”
