Election jitters and job security unnerving SE Queensland property: Herron Todd White

Herron Todd White says ‘’anecdotal evidence’’ is that confidence is ‘’reasonably good’’ around the south east Queensland property market, but that job security is the big concern.

‘’It’s hard to pay your mortgage or rent without dollars coming in the door. Some certainty in the economy would be nice -- with a few observers saying a post-federal election surge is on the cards,’’ the valuer says.

‘’We wouldn’t be so bold as to make that prediction but politics and instability have played a hand in making the population uneasy on a number of fronts.’’
