the beach to the bush as a buyer’s market emerges in the wake of increasing mortgage stress and more realistic seller expectations Vendor discounting is becoming increasingly common in parts of the state with sellers starting to reduce ambitious asking prices by hundreds of thousands of dollars — or up to 32 per cent in some cases — as spring listings begin to rise Data provided exclusively by SQM Research reveals Queensland has more than 1600 distressed listings — the highest in the country with discounted properties ranging from a house in Shailer Park with a $250,000 price cut to a unit in Airlie Beach that is now $155,000 cheaper had its price reduced by $250,000 to $1.1m this three-bedroom house at 42 Leichhardt Tce A quick search online resulted in around 30 homes being listed with ‘price reduced’ in the marketing including a five-bedroom house with a pool in Robina RELATED: Worst suburbs for mortgage stress Digital Finance Analytics director Martin North said there was evidence of “deeper drops” in asking prices as listings began to rise “Five to eight per cent vendor discounts seem common and more at the top end of the market — 15 per cent in some cases which is very different from a year ago,” Mr North said has had its price reduced from $1.5m to $1.45m is on the market with a $120,000 price reduction: going from $1.1m to $980,000 “We are also seeing more ‘forced’ sales due to mortgage pain/arrears Mr North said vendor discounts were lower in Queensland than some other states but selling agents were offering higher initial valuations given the more buoyant market Ray White Cairns agent Luke Bantoft just reduced the price on one of his listings by $10,000 in the hope of making it more attractive to buyers Mr Bantoft said was “seeing price reductions coming across the board” This five-bedroom house at 68-70 River Gum Dr was recently sold after its priced was reduced to offers over $1.9m This three-bedroom unit at 2105/4 The Esplanade was placed under offer for an amount over $1.975m “The cost of living is hurting people financially,” he said owners are seeing increased amounts of insurance increased amounts of body corporate levies and I don’t think they can afford to keep going.” Mr Bantoft said investment properties were especially affected by Queensland’s rising home prices with changing tenancy laws preventing investors from raising rent high enough to offset expenses “I think the cost of servicing the property versus return is just well outweighed,” he said At least half a dozen properties in the tropical town of Port Douglas have had their prices dropped as wealthy holiday home owners start to realise the pandemic days of record sales may be over This two-bedroom unit at 27/16 Golden Orchid Dr has had its price reduced by $155,000 to $695,000 This five-bedroom house at 94 Orange Grove Rd is on the market for offers over $1.4m – but was reduced by $200,000 from $1.6m Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty agent Caroline Yarr said the Port Douglas market had not dropped “It’s a sign of the times at the moment,” Ms Yarr said “Vendors think their properties are continuing to go up in value and buyers think they’re crashing “It’s a matter of correcting some vendors’ expectations Where we were trying to get record breaking prices every time even us as agents have had to correct ourselves.” Many of the suburbs where markets have cooled were found in regional areas that were popular with buyers who escaped the cities during the pandemic was placed under offer for a reduced amount over $1.7m PropTrack senior economist Anne Flaherty said many regional Queensland markets were seeing declines after a huge run-up in prices during the pandemic when buyers flocked to popular lifestyle destinations outside the major cities “It’s fascinating to see how much of a price correction we’ve seen in a lot of these areas that were massive outperformers during the pandemic period,” she said “We had outsized demand during the pandemic for a lot of these lifestyle areas at the same time that interest rates were extremely low Ms Flaherty said the Noosa suburb of Sunshine Beach where the median price was now $2.4m — about 32 per cent lower than the peak of $3.525m July 2022 — exemplified the trend is under contract for an offer over $1.295m It recently had its price reduced by $55,000 from $1.35m “The competition in Sunshine Beach was so fierce that people were really bidding up the prices,” she said “Now what we’ve seen is it’s still a premium suburb but the intensity to buy in that suburb has cooled significantly so prices have fallen.” is currently listed for sale by ‘motivated vendors’ Rethink Residential Group CEO Scott O’Neill said it was unlikely mortgage holders who were facing difficulties would find relief in the near future This three-bedroom apartment at 55/11 Innovation Parkway is on the market for $1.25m after having its price reduced is on the market after having its price reduced “Most borrowers are managing to keep their mortgage payments on schedule recent data from APRA indicates that mortgage arrears are on the rise though they remain low compared to pre-Covid levels,” Mr O’Neill said Mortgage arrears — consisting of non-performing loans and borrowers who are 30 to 89 days late on payments — now account for 1.6 per cent of home loans It comes as RBA Governor Michele Bullock warned her “message on interest rates is not what many borrowers want to hear” especially “as labour market conditions ease more households will experience a strain on their finances from unemployment or reduced working hours.” Ms Bullock said RBA estimates around 5 per cent of owner-occupiers were “in a particularly challenging situation where the combined total of their essential spending and scheduled mortgage repayments is more than their income” “Some may ultimately make the difficult decision to sell their homes,” she warned with lower income borrowers “over-represented in the group of people who are really struggling.” **Nicholas Finch was a co-author of this story.

Mr Lawrence told Daily Mail Australia the coastal carpet python was relatively easy to catch as it was already cornered in a small room, despite acting a little defensive.  The handler said the resident's 'phobias and fears were through the roof' and he spent some time trying to calm her down after the python had been secured.  He said OzCapture Snake Relocations receivea at least five calls a day from residents finding unwanted serpents underneath air conditioning units, fridges, washing machines and dryers.   Snakes found in bathrooms are not as common, Mr Lawrence said.  'Thanking the powers that be it wasn't actually in the toilet itself', Mr Lawrence captioned a series of photos of the carpet python on Facebook.  'My pet fear at night', one comment read.  Another cautioned other home owners saying, 'That's why you always put the lid down!' Mr Lawrence said the combination of recent wet weather and the amount of snake hatchlings being born at this time of year had resulted in more relocations.  'Snakes will sense a low pressure storm, leave their trees and seek shelter when the rain is here,' he said.  'When there's rain they crawl into roofs, pergolas, covered area, barbecues and garages.' The carpet python was relocated into bush land a kilometre away from the residents home in Logan, Queensland.  Mr Lawrence said handlers will relocate the invading reptile within 5km of where the snake was found, away from suburban areas.    Remove any debris or woodpiles, cut back long grass and shrubbery, remove leaf litter and block any holes around the outside of your house that may look like a safe spot to hide  Keep pests under control. Rodents are a good food source for snakes – less food means less snakes.  Keep bird aviaries and chook pens secure, clean and free of rodents. Ensure you have a fine mesh or shade cloth around the outside of any aviary so our snake friends don’t get stuck in the wire. If possible, keep cats inside and snake avoidance training for dogs can literally be a life saver.  Call a professional. Never attempt to catch or kill a snake.

The closest building is the local Scout building. It’s like being on acreage, just without the maintenance.” With four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a pool set on an 845-square-metre block for around the $600,000 mark, the house is likely to be popular with families, although Mr Strudwick is expecting a few rubber-neckers at the first open home on Saturday, February 16. “I’m fully expecting a few fans on the weekend, there will definitely be some sticky beaks there,” he laughs. “But we’re OK with that. I think the house’s history will hold some appeal for buyers too — everybody loves to have some sort of connection to someone famous. “It’s a great story to be able to tell to people over cheese and nibbles in your new house after you get the keys.” The house’s layout includes multiple living areas — one with a sunken lounge — renovated kitchen and bathroom and a gate into Anakie Park with a private sitting area.

The Hyperdome 1 and 2 Early Education Centre and Preschool at Shailer Park informed parents the child died unexpectedly at home on Thursday night, and the centre had been shut as a precautionary measure. The centre advised parents in a Facebook post that Queensland Health was investigating. "There is no risk to your child, but in the meantime if you are concerned that your child has experienced any illness or symptoms of illness, we encourage you to contact your local GP for peace of mind," the statement said. "Our thoughts are with this family at this very difficult time." It said an external company had been brought in to clean the premises with hospital-grade disinfectant. The centre is expected to reopen on Monday. In a statement, Dr Kari Jarvinen from the Metro South Public Health Unit of Queensland Health, said the cause of death was unknown. "Metro South Public Health Unit is assisting in the investigation of the recent death of a child," he said. "There is nothing at present to indicate a risk of illness to other children who may have attended the same childcare centre. "The cause of death is unknown at this stage but if a child becomes ill, consider contacting 13 HEALTH or seeking medical attention. "It is important people do not attend work, school or public places to prevent the spread of infection to others." Dr Jarvinen also offered the department's condolences to parents, carers and staff. "The Metro South Public Health Unit are saddened to learn of the death of a child who attended your childcare centre and offer our deepest sympathies to the family, staff and childcare community," he said.
