I have just returned from Roma- I travel there reasonably often. Houses are very expensive there now- around $350 or so for a 3 or 4 bedroom weatherboard. Rentals are not in high demand- I spoke to a REA there who said currenlty they have plenty empty on their books, Rent is quite high as well. Lots of fly in/ fly out type workers- 10 days on, 4 or so off.
There are currenlty 2 subdivisions happening, one is 7 blocks, I think around 1500 m2 selling from $85K, Not sure about the other one.
Flooding at Charleville is not a regular thing- and work has been done to prevent is happening too often again. As previously mentioned, growth is even or slightly negative, depending upon which figures you look at. Little work in Ch'ville- but there is a beautiful old pub that would be great done up, really needs loving new owners- huge corner one, with a large verandah all around, french doors opening out onto verandahs, and they have great food! Cost a fortune to do up tho!
Chinchilla is still booming, more subdivisions happening out there too, rent is ridiculous! Average income over $100K for most!
