SALES ACTIVITY - HOUSES
THE YORKEYS KNOB MARKET
Over the past 12 months, Yorkeys Knob has continued to attract strong interest from both homebuyers and investors, thanks to its appealing coastal lifestyle, proximity to Cairns CBD, and variety of housing options.
Houses:
• The median house value now sits at $582,000, reflecting a 1.1% increase over the past year and a 52.1% rise over the past five years.
• Homes are selling in a median of 23 days, indicating healthy buyer demand.
• The rental market remains solid, with a median weekly rent of $550 supporting ongoing interest from investors.
Units:
• The unit market has shown stronger recent growth, with the median sales value rising 16.3% over the past 12 months to $444,000 — a substantial 100.5% increase over five years.
• Units are selling quickly, with a median of just 15 days on market, and are achieving a median weekly rent of $515.
Looking ahead:
Yorkeys Knob is well-positioned to benefit from projected property price growth across the broader Cairns region, driven by factors such as population increases, infrastructure improvements, and continued demand for lifestyle locations. With strong rental returns, quick sales times, and a proven track record of capital growth, the suburb remains a sought-after choice for both investors and owner-occupiers seeking longterm value.
NATIONAL PROPERTY CLOCK: HOUSES
The property clock is a useful method of tracking the property market cycle. It is based on the recognised stages of the property cycle: a boom followed by a downturn in prices, bust as the market hits the bottom of the cycle, and then a recovery period as the market builds towards the next boom.
