my thoughts as well... Also the agencies sometimes use different methodologies to crunch the numbers, which can also point to different conclusions.

the issue with most startistics is that there is just so much variability dependant on methodologies and no consistent definitions. I too am a bit more sceptical about the qld property market short term but not at all and the opposite to bcc and near bcc boundaries.

Generally agree with u here. Look at the equivalents in Melbourne and Sydney and see what happened to them. Just a matter of time before same happens to thsee, but won't be explosive like Sydney - rather consistent and moderately strong year over year without significaNt volatility. Success will...

Not saying one cant make money there...quite possible given the yields and CG potential of the lower entry price. Compared to what however...i.e. opportunity cost given risk. Plenty of people have also made a good buck or two in non-logan areas without the risk that logan has.

partly, but partly not. A lot of the sheep from Sydney have also grazed in places like orange and dubbo in NSW, thus driving up the prices there a few yrs back. Some sheep have come to qld- a lot of them, especially the older demographic, to sunshine coast, cairns, and parts of the GC. Not so...
