The iconic coastal markets along the eastern coastline are showing
a solid bounce back in growth conditions after dwelling values and
transaction numbers slumped during and after the global financial
crisis. In contrast, the resource driven markets of regional Queensland
are continuing to face tough conditions as capital expenditure winds
down and commodity prices flatten out.
Regional service centres have been more resilient than the mining
communities; however, it is broadly the coastal and lifestyle markets
where housing market conditions are the most buoyant.
