Rocky Coast: I am currently reading all the media hype in The Bully lately and have recently sold out from Capricorn Coast. Purchased land April 2003, Sold Jan 05. Probably sold a little too early but took the money and bolted – (as entered the game early.)
Now looking for new area. Where to from Rocky ?
I am sure many are out shopping with their new boom dollars and probably won’t talk until after the deals are done. I am guilty of that in previous time.
Will i go north or south of Rocky ? Interested to know of any others who have bailed from Rocky at this time ?Gooday, As a former pool owner they are great if you live there, however to rent out forget it, as most tenants are lazy on maintenance (unless it is your Mum & Dad), and won’t spend money on your pool maintenance.
The way I see it is if an expensive fully landscaped planned inground pool with superior fencing is installed then yes it adds value to the home, but if it is a cheap hole in the ground then it adds nothing in value to the home.Best of luck.
My splash from the Dunequote:
hi,i have seen this house on the net that is quite low price, and it looks very new, and it has a pool in the backyard. Are there anything to note when buying houses with pools? I seemed to have read that somehwre, but i forgot what to take note of about the pool…
pls advice
Hilary,
Thanks for you comment. Glad to hear I am not the only one putting $ into Capricorn beachfront. Have signed up for a beaut block very close to a bay with white sand and clear water.I am a cashed up boomer from NSW with a love for the beach (that has paid off handsomely when buying close to beach.)
I recommend anyone to take the ride on the boat to Keppel and to check out those golden beaches & islands.Sure beats investing in the cold country. This area has the advantage of having a well established city nearby.
There is even mostly dual carriageway to the beach from Rockhampton that is better than the deadly goat track called the Pacific Highway in NSW.I believe we will see rapid increases in prices here soon (but I have been wrong before and made mistakes.)and gee I’m having fun. Cheers.

Hi, Sandune.
Have just been up to that area, and would agree totally – land with sea views is still available and as the South dries up, investors are moving further North to affordability.Have just bought 2 blocks which I could only dream about if they were in NSW. One I will develop, the other was bought at a huge discount – private sale from an absent vendor- and will make a good quick profit. .there are also great 11 second solutions in the area in towns of 60,000+. There is also a lot of heavy industry in some areas with massive population forecasts for next 3 years – ABS statistics show it very worthwhile.[8D][8D]
