SUB-$700,000 PROPERTIES SHINE IN CAIRNS’ SOUTHERN CORRIDOR
In 2024, properties priced under $700,000 in the Cairns southern corridor emerged as strong performers, with no signs of losing momentum.
At the beginning of the year, expectations were high that the market would remain robust, and those predictions proved accurate. The performance was largely driven by a shortage of available stock—both for sale and rent—combined with strong interest from southern buyers seeking to relocate or invest in Cairns.
The suburbs of Gordonvale, Edmonton, and Bentley Park stood out, fueled by an influx of buyers’ agents sourcing investment opportunities for their clients. Notably, Bentley Park recorded a median house price increase to $635,000, reflecting a remarkable 20.8% growth over the past 12 months.
According to Herron Todd White’s on-the-ground valuers, the market shows no signs of slowing down. Sub-$700,000 properties are expected to continue performing well as long as southern investor activity remains strong.
