WHEN their first child came along, Shariah Steele and Michael Dell knew they would soon have to start looking for a bigger house.<\/p>\n

They could not believe their luck when they saw a post on an online marketplace seeking a house in the Sunshine Coast<\/a> hinterland suburb of Landsborough.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe ended up reaching out to him and he came out and put an offer in,\u201d Ms Steele said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was exactly what we were looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n

When they bought in the electorate of Fisher four years ago, the couple never expected house prices to rise as much as nearly 60 per cent in that time.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s ridiculous,\u201d Ms Steele said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a lot more to choose from back then and less competition.\u201d<\/p>\n

They purchased the Landsborough property for $425,000 in 2019 and have just sold it for nearly double that three years on.<\/p>\n

But they have managed to buy back in to the same market, just a suburb away in the Glass House Mountains, where they secured a four-bedroom house for $1 million on nearly 1400 sqm \u2014 plenty of room for their 11-month-old daughter, Lily, to grow and enjoy.<\/p>\n
