THE southeast Queensland property market is set to peak in the next two years, and the Sunshine Coast is shaping up to be a star performer, say industry experts.

PRDnationwide managing director Tony Brasier said falling stock levels, relative affordability and demand from interstate and Chinese investors were combining with the state’s growing population to promote slowly increasing ­values in the southeast.

“The southeast Queensland property market has all the characteristics of a market in the process of strengthening significantly,” he said.

“It is likely to boom over the next two years.”

Mr Brasier said southeast Queensland could have the strongest growth of all major regions nationwide this year.

Industry experts In particular see the Sunshine Coast as being well placed to take advantage of considerable growth in sales numbers and values.

Matusik Property Insight’s 2014 Property Outlook also paints an encouraging picture of the coming years, with Brisbane and the Gold and Sunshine coasts all firmly placed within the recovery phase of the property cycle. The Matusik Property 2014 Outlook predicts the southeast’s next peak market would be between mid-2016 and early 2017 but in the meantime homeowners could look forward to an ­upswing.

Solid value growth is anticipated for the 2014-15 financial year and the Sunshine Coast market in particular is a predicted standout.
