And that's a drawcard, certainly for those who may be moving from cities in more condensed spaces.

The regionals sort of areas do typically offer that larger land size.

In terms of the home itself, around that $400,000 mark, you know, you could be looking at quite a neat, tidy, you know, sort of circa 90s brick style home.

It may have an en suite or at least the potential to bring that en suite into the property.

Yeah, generally around that three bedroom sort of configuration for that price range.

Yes, yeah, very much so.

So yeah, definitely we've seen quite a bit of movement from the southeast corner.

So those who might be selling up and moving north from the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast type areas.

Outside of Queensland, we've certainly seen quite of interest with buyers from Sydney, Melbourne, but also South Australia and Tasmania as well.

So a lot of them are understandably moving for a combination of family, lifestyle, but also affordability seems to be a hot, you know, discussion with them as well.

Yes.

Yeah.

No, look, Mackay is very well placed in that it's got a nice broad industry mix.

There's also some good opportunity for earnings too.

If you've got skilled trade or, you know, labour, that's in very hot demand.

They are working around the clock to keep up with client demand, but also struggling with the opportunity.

to have that skilled labour there to support and work with those clients that are demanding their services.

So certainly for people that may be considering a move from the cities, Mackay is quite blessed to have a very low unemployment rate, a nice wide range of job opportunities on offer, and then combined with the fact that it's sitting more affordably in terms of the real estate entry price.

Yeah, look, broadly, you know, we're sort of sitting around, you know, the greater region is around that sort of 120.

And when I say greater region, you know, that's including, you know, out to the Isaac, Pioneer Valley and north towards the Whitsundays.
