Expert predictions: Where to buy a home in southeast QLD in 2020

QUEENSLAND’S top property heavyweights have revealed their predictions for where to buy a home in 2020.

IT HAS been a tumultuous year for the housing market, but one where southeast Queensland remained stoic despite significant headwinds.

Brisbane was buffeted by the fallout from the Royal Commission into the banking sector and APRA’s introduction of tighter lending guidelines in the first half of 2019.

But confidence returned and buyer activity picked up mid-year following the federal election and consecutive interest rate cuts.

The year ahead looks particularly promising, with sustained capital gains on the cards for many suburbs across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.

Some of the industry’s top heavyweights have shared their tips on where to invest in the state’s southeast corner in 2020 with The Courier-Mail.

We asked Ray White Queensland’s Tony Warland, Harcourts Queensland’s Christian Hamilton, McGrath Queensland manager Justin Marsden, Belle Property Australasia’s Jon Iceton and Place Estate Agents’ Damian and Sarah Hackett where to buy — whether you have less than $500,000 or more than $1 million to spend.
