POSITIVE SIGNS

RE/MAX agent Udo Jattke confirmed he had sold six blocks in the Forest Mountain estate, next to Paradise Palms, over the past six weeks. He now has only two blocks left on his books — a positive sign, according to Paradise Palms owner Darren Halpin. “More people are moving from down south to North Queensland,” he said.

“Cairns is becoming a place where people want to live.”
