well i've given up waiting to buy into the Sunny Coast area of Qld for now but im definitely taking a keen interest in the port macquarie area not so much for an investment but to actually buy a residential property and move there for a few years......(actually have no idea what we are doing right now) ;-) we can go practically anywhere in Oz and it wont affect our work/business.
I note that Port has basically peaked in median house prices back in mid 2004, since then it has struggled to increase its median price. the median house/unit price in Port Macqaurie has been really quite flat since mid 2004.
Any serious opinions of the area most welcome, pos or neg.
I'm looking for things like; Best areas, business opportunities, employment situation, council related issues, general community feel......
I may fly down over the next month to check the place out.....all positive online with prices for me..they are way cheap compared to what we are use to paying in Nth Qld.
Im not so confident regarding investment property in the area just yet but to buy and live there it looks damm tempting...way better value to buy a quality property than anywhere on the sunny coast.
I also note that the population of retirees is quite high in the area compared to the under 40's with kids.....hope the place isnt like a nursing home...boaring and depressing regarding business
cheers
