Savvy sellers are cashing out of some of Queensland\u2019s overheated coastal markets and going in search of the \u201cnext Noosa\u201d or the \u201cnew Byron Bay\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

And the locations where they are looking for that more relaxed beach lifestyle vary from an affordable tropical island village to a sleepy coastal hamlet just 200km north of Brisbane.<\/p>\n

The REA PropTrack Regional Report 2021 has revealed the top 10 national suburbs where the number of \u201chighly engaged buyers\u201d per listing has soared, and seven of those hot spots were located in regional Queensland.<\/p>\n
