Moving to Townsville in 2025?! Everything You Must Know BEFORE Deciding.

[@changyi42]

It is exciting to see people promoting this town. I always think Townsville is a hidden treasure waiting for the world to discover.

[@CuttingEdgePropertyTownsville]

@@changyi42 Thanks, I really love it here!

[@leelinley2112]

All I can say is THANK YOU for this video! So much detail and information, I literally feel like I've been to Townsville after watching this. Myself and my husband are moving over from the UK in the next couple of months and this has only made us even more excited! x

If moving to Townsville or QLDs Nth be prepared for the wet season where there's very high humidity for about 6 months, lower humidity QLDs south but still high.

Geat Video - thanks for promoting the land of opportunity (where the AUSTRALIAN DREAM is still possible)!!! @ 15:25 = a lovely riverside park in the suburb !!Mundingburra :) - very leafy spot- just across the weir bridge near Annandale - not as $$$ as Annandale, Douglas and Idalia + houses near that park/river didn't get flooded as bad :))- the older suburbs have a lot going for them too :)

Great video highlighting Townsville, but you need to tell ppl about the youth crime nightmare there.

[@lyndagillkauairealtor]

Great video Rob, you are the go to agent for this area!

[@chrisheffernan3998]

Townsville was my home for 16 months. I miss most are the people strangers greet you in the street but like all places it has its flaws my biggest bugbear was Employers Not Responding to Job applications it took me four months to find a job which was managed by a boss who had no respect for boundaries/RDOs/fair work rulings and employment contract clauses. If it wasnt for this clown I'd still be living in this great city instead of having to moving back to New Zealand

[@shemusmcquillaide]

Thanks for the tour, I'm a Yank also and want to move some place in Australia that I can indulge my interest in snorkeling and reef keeping. Its amazing how affordable Australia is and I like the old Queenslander style houses.

[@CuttingEdgePropertyTownsville]

I've got a queenslander myself!

[@JT-zm7wz]

Townsville is Crime City, it probably has the highest rate of house break ins in Australia. And the amount of d-heads on the road is amazing, the Townsville drivers get upset over nothing. I only drive into Townsville when I have to, always great to drive out of Townsville, and get back to peace & calmness

[@chrisheffernan3998]

Agreed I don't know anyone who hasnt had their home broken into and/or car stolen

[@weeksy68]

Brought an investment property there two years ago , visited Townsville a year ago to check it all out , very happy with our choice , had a good time there for a few days , looks like it is on the up and up 👍

[@normanlong2191]

Great to see people promoting the Area with such enthusiasm , VERY disappointing to see you jumping on rocks and walking outside fenced areas that would put people in danger it shows a total lack of appreciation of danger.

[@kimberleydownunder]

Nice video we always go to airlie beach to holiday but tienville looks like a place to reside as its more affordable . The only thing stopping me is the bad reputation of theft break ins etc . I’m in Melbourne and this area is no better to be honest. Can you suggest some good suburbs. Where do you reside ?

[@CuttingEdgePropertyTownsville]

@@kimberleydownunder I've lived here for 17 years and I've had three attempted break-ins. What I've discovered is that if you have your doors locked.. they don't try very hard. When I was head of the neighbourhood watch in the Douglas area. We found that most of the thefts were based on people leaving their cars or screen doors unlocked.

[@CuttingEdgePropertyTownsville]

Another Real Estate agent here to hyper inflate the local market. Not much mention of the youth crime or the drunken soldiers or meth problem lol. Property in Townsville is already well on its way to catching up with the rest of the economy.

...Median price $380,000 vs $980,000 in Brisbane. Seems like a BARGAIN to me.

You have those problems everywhere. Tsv is still a great place when it isnt summer.

[@jaybazza248]

@@CuttingEdgePropertyTownsville The sales figures posted on your website indicate an average sale price of 500k+ meaning that you're selling these houses for an average increase of 33%. I think that's inflating the market.

[@CuttingEdgePropertyTownsville]

@@jaybazza248 Just because I sell some of the more expensive houses in town doesn't mean that all houses are that expensive.

[@CuttingEdgePropertyTownsville]

In addition.. as you could imagine since I'm a real estate agent.. I work specifically to get sellers as much money as possible. That's my job. That's what I do. That's why I get paid. So if my house is are selling for more then I'm getting paid for a good reason. That's why sellers choose me. 🤷

@@CuttingEdgePropertyTownsville maybe like agriculture or farm. Yes, my visa allow me to work for about 20 hours per week

[@CuttingEdgePropertyTownsville]

@@BiyaYahzluan You'll have to have a decent car to get to farms from JCU. There will be mango picking and work in the fields but you might have to drive an hour to get to it. My suggestion would be looking for work at a fast food place or at a shopping mall like stocklands. It's right down the road and you can take a scooter or a bicycle. There you can sell clothing or hand people sushi. There's also jobs in Townsville for taxi drivers always. It's not much fun but it pays pretty well. When you get here let me know and I can help you find some people who can help you find work.
