I agree but we have one small edge or maybe not so small here in queensland and that is the lifestyle and you cant get it in Melbourne or sydney all year round after all the RE market at the moment is all about lifestyle and not just RE but also in other aspects of people’s lives people are sick of just living a life they want to live a paticular lifestyle thats where Queensland comes into it look around you where living in the age of “lifestyle”

Hi Smartmoney
One thing you have to remember when buying your first ppor is how quickly will it increase in value in order to release equity to enable you to buy an ip so it is crucial that you do your homework first before you purchase In my opinion i would prefer to 30 klm’s out of brisbane in an up and coming subub and only be 100 metres from the waterfront for under $220k you have to ask yourself which property is going to be worth more in 10,15,20 years time the beach side house or the the other house in logan
25klm’s+ from brisbane

Dont forget deception bay,its going off the planet and still has plenty of room for CG for at least the next 3 years

I’ve just got back from a driving trip from Melbourne to brisbane saw a half decsent house for $15000 central NSW only a short drive from a sizeable well known rural town,however population is only 1500.I thought that was extremely cheap for area.

Cheers
