Ex-pats returning from overseas and internationals looking at Queensland.

It's such an important comment.

School holidays for us used to be a no-go zone for the high end.

Everyone would not launch their property during school holidays because everyone went away.

Well, what we've found with our top tier agents, unfortunately, we do participate quite a lot in that market.

We're seeing people coming here on those school holidays.

And we're seeing interstate and international interest on the rise from people that are booking inspections on their way out to the coast or before they hit the airport on the way home.

Yeah, we saw over the Easter long weekend, buyers out in force.

And again, these auctions this week, we've had buyers in strong numbers at a lot of our high-end properties.

Once you're a homeowner and you own a property, you want prices to hold or grow.

And until you buy your first property, I suppose you want them to come down to an affordable range for you.

What I'd like to see is a government that looks after the people that own the properties, does help the people get into the properties.

I mean, I don't think either party at the moment is doing anything that's saying that if anyone buys property, they're going to put them in a worse position and bring prices down.
