Luxury home market booming in Brisbane

While Brisbane’s property market continues its solid performance in 2018, it is the city’s luxury property market that is moving at a rapid rate.

A recent listing on realestate.com.au proves the high-end market is booming, with a riverfront home in one of Brisbane’s most prestigious streets hitting the market.

The five-bedroom, six-bathroom home, sitting on 2137sqm of waterfront land on Virginia Street in Hawthorne, boasts city views, two swimming pools, a spa, a tennis court, putting green, a boat house, a private jetty and a wine cellar.

And it’s not alone. On the realestate.com.au site, there are more than 250 luxury homes listed – most offering skyline views, huge floor plans and all of the little indulgences expected when purchasing a home in the millions.

As the city’s wealthiest hunt for prestigious properties on the market, Universal Buyers Agent’s Selena Corness says when it comes to multi-million- dollar purchases it is worth enlisting the help of a property buying expert.

“The high-end market is moving quite rapidly in Brisbane at the moment and when it comes to purchasing a luxury property, a buyers agent Brisbane can definitely make the process a lot smoother,” Selena said.

“Particularly when such a large investment is being made, it is a good idea to have an expert helping you through the process.”

Selena said a lot of high-end, luxury purchases are made by interstate buyers.

“While buyers agents can help first home buyers and inexperienced buyers find their dream home, they are also extremely beneficial for time poor investors and interstate buyers,” she said.

“Purchasing a property can be particularly hard if you are an international investor or located in another city.

“There is always the fear of missing out on your ideal property, due to your proximity and lack of presence.

“A buyers agent is your expert on the ground. They can inspect, negotiate, and appear at auctions on your behalf – taking the stress out of the process.”
