You'll be hard-pressed to find fault with this show-stopping beachfront residence. There were plenty of happy vendors come Christmas Day on the Sunshine Coast, with the December quarter rounding out a strong year of growth. In December buyers were found for a Noosa River home in Mossman Court, which sold for close to the $5.95 million asking price, and for 29 The Peninsula Noosa Waters, which sold for more than $4.7 million.
The momentum in the property market follows a great year for tourism on the Sunshine Coast. Data released by Tourism Noosa showed international tourist numbers in the region increased by 6.4 per cent in the 12 months to September 2016, with the dollars spent over the same period up 45 per cent.
The figures were even more bullish for Noosa, where agent Tom Offermann says occupancy rates at most resorts are running at 90 per cent a year.
“The economy is doing very well in all respects,” Offermann says. “We don’t have any more development land so that increases the pressure on existing stock and will push the prices up over the next year, so anyone looking to buy property is well advised to do so sooner rather than later.”
