Regional towns and holiday hot spots have topped the list of suburbs with the most property sales in 2020, new Domain data has revealed.<\/p>\n

Surfers Paradise\u00a0on the Gold Coast has topped the list with 1518 property sales. NSW coastal holiday hot spot\u00a0Port Macquarie\u00a0was second with 1161 sales and regional town\u00a0Orange third with 984 sales.<\/p>\n

While Surfers Paradise has retained its top spot from 2019\u2019s list, Port Macquarie and Orange have moved up in the rankings this year, where they ranked third and seventh, respectively.<\/p>\n

Surfers Paradise and the Gold Coast more broadly have continued to attract interstate buyers, despite border restrictions, says Ray White Surfers Paradise CEO Andrew Bell. Photo: Destination Gold Coast<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The volume of property sales in each suburb is reflective of the overall number of dwellings in the area.\u00a0But, covid restrictions have played an influential role in the rankings of these traditional high-volume suburbs, Domain senior research analyst Nicola Powell said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe length and degree of covid lockdowns across our states will have had a varied impact on sales activity,\u201d Dr Powell said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s quite interesting about the top 30 is there is a number of regional areas. It speaks to that trend of regional movement we\u2019ve seen. We\u2019ve already seen people move away from our larger, more expensive capital cities prior to covid but what we\u2019re now seeing is that covid has accelerated that. Some of those areas are lifestyle locations as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
