Market Trends and Insights
Real estate agents report that buyer confidence remains high, with low inventory levels pushing competition. The median house price in Townsville has risen by 3.5% over the past quarter, according to recent data. Agents advise sellers to price realistically to attract multiple offers.
Rental demand also continues to grow, with vacancy rates dropping to 1.8% in March. This trend is driving investor interest, particularly in units and townhouses in central suburbs.
