He said it was further evidence Mermaid Beach was in high demand.
“I currently do not have enough properties for sale — I have clients looking to invest in the area,” Mr Stevens said.

Ray White Mermaid Waters principal Mitch Palmer said the sale marked a suburb record for a renovated, dry block home.
