Metro buyers inject excitement into market

- EMILY CLOONEY

DEMAND for real estate across the Granite Belt is growing, with many agents reporting an enquiry influx.

The relaxation of coronaviru­s restrictio­ns and increased interest in the region from tourists has seen genuine buyers inspecting properties in both Stanthorpe and the outer-lying suburbs.

Stanthorpe Real Estate principal agent Logan Steele said many of the interested buyers were from metropolit­an areas.

“We’re starting to get more inquires for people wanting to move to the area from Brisbane and the Gold Coast,” he said.

“Most people, where they can, are just getting on with life.”

Mr Steele said many people were interested in moving to regional towns for a quieter lifestyle.

“We’re finding more people are realising they can work from home, there’s a lot more people doing that,” he said.

The median house price in Stanthorpe currently sits at $340,000 for a four-bedroom property, according to realestate.com.au.
