Property market is strong
CAIRNS is turning heads in the real estate world.
According to recent data, home prices in Cairns surged 9.8% over the past year – outpacing Brisbane’s growth.
This makes Cairns one of Australia’s strongest performing markets, buoyed by population growth, lifestyle appeal and comparatively more affordable entry points.
While Brisbane continues to be strong, its price gains are now being matched – and in some areas surpassed – by regions like ours.
For sellers and investors, this is a timely signal: properties in Cairns aren’t just holding value, they’re growing it.
For Cairns sellers, this means renewed buyer activity, more confidence in the market and a real opportunity to capitalise on rising demand.
While some properties are taking a little longer to move, well-presented homes in desirable locations are attracting serious attention.
If you’ve considered selling, there’s no better time to get started, Spring may well be your moment.
If you’ve been sitting on the fence, the market may not wait much longer.
