South-east Queensland property boom led by young families from NSW

Young families from NSW are turning their lifestyle dreams into reality and leading the mass migration to south-east Queensland in a never-before-seen trend that’s fuelling the state’s booming property market.

Once a magnet for retirees looking to live out their golden years in a golden climate, the sunshine state – and particularly the capital – is now a hotbed of millennials and Gen Z buyers from across the border seeking affordability, space and better quality of life in an age of remote working, according to the new Domain Queensland Spotlight Report, released on Thursday.

The report, which shines a light on the latest property trends across the state, also revealed buyers are now overwhelmingly seeking a four-bedroom house close to the beach with views and room for the fur baby. The areas of Noosa Hinterland, Noosa, Maroochy, Nambour, Buderim, Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Nerang, Broadbeach-Burleigh, Coolangatta and Mudgeeraba-Tallebudgera are claiming the most average views per listing.
