PROPERTY STATISTICS
Oxenford
Over the last five years house prices at Oxenford have risen
by 17 per cent per annum, rising from just $195,000 back in
2002 to $420,000 by October this year. Even during the ‘post
boom’ slump when there was minimal price growth in the
market, Oxenford medians continued to show impressive increases.
The growth in the market is partly due to new prestigious
housing being introduced to the area, and also to the strategic
location of Oxenford which provides very efficient access
to the M1 Motorway, proximity to several world class golf
courses and the suburbs long frontage with the Coomera River.
The riverside areas
of Oxenford are attracting premiums well and truly above the
general market. There are only thirty-five absolute waterfront
housing lots at Oxenford, highlighting the scarcity of ‘wet
blocks’ along the Coomera River. During 2007 the first
Oxenford home to break the million dollar mark sold along
Brittany Drive, setting a new benchmark for the suburb. Only
five riverfront homes have sold over the last two years, as
these properties very rarely come onto the market.
Southport
The Southport unit market is one of the most successful and
long standing medium to high density markets on the Gold Coast.
Over the last five years, the median price of Southport units
have increased by 16 per cent per annum. In 2002 the median
unit price was $155,000, rising to $325,000 by September 2007
– an increase of $170,000 during this five year period.
Price growth flattened between 2004 and 2006, but since 2007
a new growth cycle has commenced, with prices up by nine per
cent over the last year.
Over the last several
years Southport has returned to the spotlight, with developers
targeting this area for new prestigious unit developments.
The area is very appealing to investors due to Southport’s
central location, the high demand for rental accommodation
and history of capital growth in the market. According to
Queensland’s Rental Tenancies Authority, weekly rental
rates for one bedroom units at Southport have increased by
nine per cent over the last year.
