“QUEENSLAND is in hot demand with COVID refugees from southern states flocking to The Sunshine State. Some without even inspecting their future home.

Victorian and New South Wales buyer interest in Queensland properties has risen 18 per cent in the past six months.

Fresh data from realestate.com.au reveals 4 per cent are ready to buy now. 14 per cent are considering a move, and 22 per cent are simply browsing. The assumption is they are possibly considering a longer-term lifestyle change.
