Rockhampton sees a number of quality home sales: HTW residential

The Rockhampton region has been spoilt for choice with a number of quality homes selling throughout the year, according to the latest Herron Todd White (HTW) residential report. 

"This isn’t always the case for our local markets so it has been a very exciting year!" the valuation firm said. 

"Rockhampton itself has seen our long-standing price ceiling of $1.5 million smashed this year with the sale of 50 Agnes Street, The Range (pictured above)."

This property was set to go to auction back in March however sold prior to, with a number of serious offers received prior to the day.

The eventual sale price was just shy of $1.8 million.

This property is positioned on the top of The Range, a highly desirable residential locality among families and investors alike.

It is a modern home of grand proportions with top quality fitout, on a larger than average 2,462 square metre well landscaped allotment with pool, pool house and tennis court just some of the stand out features.

"The Capricorn Coast has also had some premium sales throughout the year, albeit less volume than 2018," the valuation firm said. 

A rural residential property on two hectares with elevation high above Mulambin Beach is currently under contract for well in excess of $1 million.

This property attracted multiple offers over a relatively short marketing period, highlighting that there is still demand for well- established property with quality views at the upper price points.

"To a lesser extent, our rural residential markets also provided some interesting sales throughout the year with a current contract of a modern home on an acre allotment on the northern fringe of Rockhampton reaching $900,000," the valuation firm said. 

This property has a generously proportioned modern home with pool and large shed.

"Regionally, there is typically very little by way of premium rental properties or units with most executive rentals topping out at around $550 to $600 per week," the valuation firm continued. 

"If one were chasing a sea change, 27 Island View Crescent at Barlows Hill (pictured above) has on offer, for $1.95 million, an architect designed, multi-level home of a reported 1,000 square metres of living area!" 

Expansive ocean views are on offer, together with six bedrooms, opulent master suite, soundproof media room, C-Bus lighting system, wet edge pool, library and dumbwaiter.

"North Rockhampton has a select few areas which spark the curiosity of the marketplace," the valuation firm stated. 

29 Murlay Avenue (pictured above) has recently been listed for sale at $985,000. Once again, this is a spacious, multi- level home, with the main feature here being the quality views back over the city of Rockhampton and the Fitzroy River.

"The property has a unique appeal to the entertainers out there," the valuation firm commented. 

Back over to The Range and just over the road from the record-breaking sale at 50 Agnes Street, number 51 Agnes Street is a listing to watch.

Having recently undergone a complete transformation after being purchased for $460,000 just over 12 months ago, it is now offered to the market at $945,000 with high quality fitout and immaculate presentation and styling.

"One of our more unique listings of late has been a seven hectare absolute river front property on the fringe of suburban North Rockhampton at 352 Lakes Creek Road, Koongal.

"The property is unique not only for its river frontage, but also due to its combination of improvements including a residence, a set of four flats, stables and large shed." 

This one of a kind property was taken to auction in May, before being priced to sell at $1.25 million.

The site is partly flood affected and has been zoned Waterfront and Marine Industry.

"This property has no recent sales history and is without comparison, so it will be an interesting property to analyse once sold."
