The days of finding a cheap beach shack are all but gone since the pandemic hit Australian shores last year, but there are a handful of options that homes buyers can pick up for less than half a million dollars in and around beach towns along Australia\u2019s coastline.<\/p>\n

Buyers will have to get in quick as agents report the days are numbered for anyone daydreaming of snapping up something in time for summer.<\/p>\n

In Western Australia, plenty of locals and interstate buyers have shown interest in a three-bedroom house at\u00a09 Grant Street, Beachlands,\u00a0in Geraldton.<\/p>\n

With a price guide of $420,000, the Californian bungalow is situated on a peninsula with beaches to three sides of the home, according to selling agent Tish Longva of Elders Real Estate Geraldton.<\/p>\n

\u201cI call it the Fremantle of Geraldton,\u201d Ms Longva said. \u201cBeachlands is on a peninsula, so it has three beaches: it has one to the south, the west and the north, and you can walk to town within 10 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said they had sold several homes sight unseen to buyers from Perth, Sydney, Queensland and even New Zealand.<\/p>\n

In South Australia, a tightly-held three-bedroom house at\u00a036 Macquarie Street, Moana, has hit the market, drawing interested buyers from the eastern seaboard.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a very busy open [home] and a lot of interstate inquiries because we are so cost-effective compared to the eastern states,\u201d said listing agent Jackie Scott of Ray White Port Noarlunga. \u201cThe majority are from Melbourne and Sydney more than anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n

While there is no price guide due to its uniqueness, Ms Scott said buyers were expecting it to sell in the high $400,000 range.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s within walking distance of beaches, shops, it\u2019s very near public transport [and] it\u2019s only a short drive to the wine regions of McLaren Vale,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The days of finding homes within such close proximity to the beach and for less than half a million dollars was numbered, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re running out, that\u2019s for sure. Most of the others that have sold have ended up selling over the half-a-million-dollar mark.\u201d<\/p>\n
