House Price Insanity in Regional Queensland, Australia

[@nr1785]

The radical drop in people searching for sale prices is because people searched and then when they saw how utterly overblown the market is now, with greedy sellers just being outright ridiculous in what they are asking, people have lost all taste for the market and don’t bother to search. Most anyway.

[@heatherhall3452]

Exactly right - Crazy insane house prices!! And by 2026 when the bubble has burst, interest rates have gone back up there will be a lot of over capitalised people who can’t sell their house for anywhere near the price they paid for it, if they wanted to - this market cycle is easy to see when you search sold properties and see some horrendous losses in past years

[@iEATiDRINKiPLAY]

Agree about 2026 Hannah

[@johnphilip2439]

Insane. And governments will do whatever they can to sustain this stupidity. How on earth are our children ever to afford to be able to buy a house? Governments prefer to ship in cashed up buyers from Asia rather than let house prices settle to a level where our our own Australian born children will be able to afford them.

[@gullyfourmyle6825]

It really is insane. Chinese buyers will pay cash upfront, real estate agents and sellers know this and use the opportunity to auction properties using average Australian’s to drive up the value. Obviously this drives up property values across the entire market, which means when Australians do find a property to buy they’re having to borrow even more money from the major 4 banks, who own just about every politician in Canberra and maintain this by lobbying through the Business Council of Australia. We are getting seriously fucked by the government. They’ll sell us all down the river and then sell the river to the Chinese.

[@iEATiDRINKiPLAY]

[@jeffreynicol8287]

Fun watching an older video. Can only image how absurd these prices are now. Many of these affordability problems in Australia are also here in Canada too.

[@williamgarcia9858]

With those insane house prices you'd think we are living in Hong Kong, but no, we live in Australia, the biggest island/continent in the world, where housing is treated as an asset instead of a place to live.

Good to see that your uploading again

[@Karrigsturn]

If anyone is curious the first house sold in December 2023 for 651k. Assuming it was listed in May 2021 that's 31 months or about 2 and a half years on the market...

[@chrisbrown-jw4ce]

I suppose it depends where in regional QLD you looked a quick search of Roma which is inland found nice newer 4 and 5 bedroom homes for $330,000 to $400,000. Toowoomba is the same many 3 bedroom houses for sale in that price range.

[@Qwoap]

Yeah Toowoomba is weird with its property price considering how rural it is but it is quite an affluent and wealthy town. So that is why the prices are so high compared to other rural towns.

[@DailyInsightAU]

What was in the garage that the owners didn't want me to see?

[@bluedunn374]

Meth Lab

[@paulorocky]

For a serious answer, they probably put many of their personal belongings in there so it wouldn't clutter up the place for the open house. But yeah probably a meth lab.

Most realestate people have lost there mind in south east Queensland when it comes to housing. The place is so over priced it’s ridiculous.

[@newzealandearthmover4008]

Same here in nz. We see alot of properties selling for over 200k above RV or rateable value. There were over 100 new sections went up for sale online and were all sold within a few minutes. Most new sections are being bought by building company's and when the houses are complete they are selling them not at the build value but what RV is and making alot of capital on them. Most existing houses in our area have a sold sign within 2 weeks of the sign being put up! It's madness! Good luck on your first house purchase mate, Cheers

[@MissGloriosa]

Now it is offers over 600,000. Still for sale. That is ridiculous.

[@Random8181]

That's amazing you actually get a reply from the agents when you make a offer.

[@virbron]

People will hate me saying this but they need to put up interest rates to bring houses back to what they are really worth

[@sirkastic]

Meh, More tightly regulate access to loans and mortgages. Let people only be able to pay with money they actually have

[@heatherhall3452]

I was planning on moving to regional Qld last year but it was already out of control.

[@yolazerbeam3205]

Covid19...the pandemic where the population actually increases and as such so does the housing prices. The houses you used as an example are probably owned by the same Chinese group that owns properties in many other first world nations and do the exact same thing. Many cities and even smaller towns have increasing amounts of properties unoccupied and owned by Chinese.

[@heatherhall3452]

It shouldn’t be allowed, if you don’t legally live here for 10 years + you can’t buy a house here 😑

[@rw-xf4cb]

Watching some property shows on here and a data analyst was saying prices are going up 10K a month so now in order to get in on a property settlement is now going to 7 days you have to have finance preapproved and get due diligence quick smart as a 30 day due diligence and another 30 day settlement is out of the question you will be gazzumped as the price of the house will go up 20K by then. Places in Gympie are going for $600K+ so surprised Toowoomba areas is not more. Those who would in the past live in Nambour QLD have to move to Gympie to afford a place. There's still cheapish housing in west or north of Toowoomba but then your out in the sticks there!

[@arnolddavies6734]

Serves him right for being a greedy person. Hope it stays on the market for much longer. Regional prices should never be higher than suburban Brisbane, unless it’s a mansion.

[@ooo789456123]

Bought a house in 2011, while working on another continent, it's rented out and my parents manage everything. Haven't seen it yet inside and it is 2021 now, but the tenant pays reliably every month.

[@harryainsworth6923]

frankly, its better to accept that like medieval serfs of old, we will never buy but rent.

[@sam55244]

My grandmother has an empty house for over 10 years, I asked her if I could pay rent and live there she said no anything I can do? that shouldnt be legal to keep it empty

[@europedave]

Unfortunately the situation is out of control, another economic crisis is the only solution to this horrible situation: increasing the interest rates and regulations won't change much in the house prices.

[@DailyInsightAU]

[@TienNguyen-wv1ys]

How crazy are those prices. Are people just fishing or realistically want a sale ?

[@TomRiddle384]

Offers above, shouldn't be allowed. You have no idea what they actual chasing. Bought first home 2016, pretty much ran around like headless chicken trying to figure out what they actually wanted. One time they knew I couldn't afford it, but they just using my offer to make the other party raise the price.

We put $425,000 on our house we paid $253,000 for 11 years ago, only done a driveway & shed. Market is BS crazy, so may as well cash in. Will be buying 5 acres 4 hours north for $400,000, the fuck away from people

[@iEATiDRINKiPLAY]

[@aulzhoefer]

If you don’t agree with the asking price walk away, no point trying to bargain in a hot market. Not saying the market makes good long term sense, but it’s value is what somebody will and can pay. If you can afford to buy stop torturing yourself!

[@DailyInsightAU]

If it was food prices, nobody would accept it. But for some reason, society says it's okay for the "market" to dictate the prices of houses, even if it's hurting people. Unfortunately the housing market is incredibly controlled and manipulated by the powers that be (through HomeBuilder programs and tax breaks and so on), so it's hardly a natural market.

[@shoaibk7019]

Sorry mate - I’d disagree with overall thinking and mindset here. World changes and doesn’t stay static, and expecting world to stay inline with what we thought as norm is insanity .. accepting new reality isn’t insanity. Using historical sale price to make an offer is really a super rudimentary approach. And using online predictor to make an offer is even more “out of touch” from reality approach. During pandamic late 2019 and early 2020. When prices had slowed and everyone was scared to spend money some buyers like me bought properties. I bought 3 houses of average value ranging from 750-800k. Today, there are buyers off the market willing to pay on average 1.2-1.3M for these properties. I’m not selling now or anytime soon. I know due to quantitative easing fiscal policy in Covid, next 5-10 years are of high inflation. Prices may fall now due to interest rates but real Property Increase will happen 2025-2028.
