BY THE NUMBERS

“Older-style three-bedroom homes are up around $400,000, but they can be over $1 million if they have a beachfront location or amazing views,” says Debbie Lodwick, Principal of Ray White Yeppoon.

“A normal four-bedroom, two-bathroom home is up from $550,000, depending on location.

If they are new and on a larger block with a pool and shed, it can be from $750,000 upwards.”

MARKET WATCH

“COVID has taught us a lot and people now realise they don’t need to live in a large city to enjoy a wonderful lifestyle,” Debbie says. “Many people can work successfully from home, live in Yeppoon and enjoy our friendly, caring community. Many country people choose to retire here as we have great services – they've told me it is like a country town at the beach!

It is a young community with excellent schools, a hospital, medical facilities, shopping centres, specialty shops and restaurants. We have a fabulous climate, and our average age here is 39 years.”
