New data highlights 69 Queensland suburbs where median house prices are below $590,000.. potentially putting mortgage repayments below $670 per week, based on the assumptions used in the analysis.
From Townsville and Cairns through to regional Queensland, there are still opportunities for buyers looking to enter the market at a more manageable price point.
Areas highlighted include Ayr, Home Hill, Rasmussen, Cardwell, Ravenshoe, Logan, Woodridge and Caboolture.
For buyers willing to look beyond the traditional hotspots, Queensland still has opportunities worth exploring.
