Together, we take a deep dive into the evolving prestige property market, which is emerging as a distinct asset class across Australia. Focusing on Noosa and the Sunshine Coast, we uncover why these areas are experiencing such strong demand and exceptional performance in the luxury segment.

We also explore the landscape of investing in South East Queensland, diving into key drivers for investment and a broader view of the Australian property market.

In Part 3 of our Property Investment Series with Carolyn Jensen from Luxe Property Management, Christine and Carolyn discuss what should be front of mind when selecting and maintaining an investment property in South East Queensland, given its unique climate and property market nuances.

Key takeaways include:

1. Climate-Specific Features: Carolyn emphasizes the importance of air conditioning, cross-ventilation, and mold prevention strategies, especially in humid coastal regions.
2. Property Maintenance: Regular inspections (every three months) are crucial for addressing issues like mold, salt air corrosion, and garden upkeep. Carolyn suggests including maintenance costs for pools and gardens in rental agreements to ensure consistent property quality.
3. Coastal Considerations: Properties near the coast face additional challenges, including quicker wear on appliances and furnishings due to salt air. Carolyn recommends routine inspections and collaboration with maintenance professionals.
4. Understanding Market Nuances: Knowing local factors, like how property positioning affects airflow and sunlight exposure, can impact property selection and rental potential.
5. Tenant Engagement: Frequent communication with tenants helps identify and resolve issues early, improving tenant satisfaction and protecting property value.
