Smoking Hot: Rockhampton

Known as the Beef Capital of Australia, Rockhampton is a booming regional town, the fourth largest in Queensland. Since beef is one of the area’s primary industries, it is no surprise some of the best steak houses and restaurants in regional Queensland are right here.

Rockhampton is so proud of their reputation as the Beef Capital of Australia that there are six iconic bull statues throughout the city.

Rockhampton Real Estate

Interstate investors and owner occupiers are flocking to north Queensland’s regional property market in droves, hoping to cash in on affordable housing in limited supply and offering very high rental yields.

It’s a story on repeat from Cairns to Rockhampton, where local agents talk of an unexpected boom.


Located an hour and 20 minutes by plane from Brisbane, Rockhampton is attracting high investor attention, predominantly New South Wales and Victoria.

Interstate Property Purchases


Mat O’Brien, Sales and Marketing Consultant, Ray White Rockhampton:
“I’ve also run into quite a few people from Tasmania, and they’re not just enquiring, they’re actually coming through open homes so they’re here, on the ground, and I know of a few people who had just flown up for the weekend to see properties too,” Mr O’Brien said

CoreLogic’s August Regional Market Report, shows Rockhampton’s median house price is $377,673, which is a 6.6 per cent increase in the past 12 months.

That makes for some great reasons to invest in house and land in the area but there is more to love.

Rockhampton Weather

Rockhampton has a subtropical climate.  It is generally too far south to have regular northwest monsoonal influence and too far north to receive cold fronts sweeping in from the south!

Seaside Living

While Rockhampton is blessed with plenty of clean country air, it is also just 30 minutes from 23 glorious kilometres of sandy beach between Yeppoon and Emu Park.


Good Sports

Smack bang in what can only be called “the Bible Belt of Rugby League”, there’s plenty on offer for sports lovers. The city is also home to AFL, basketball, soccer, mountain biking and even roller derby.

Rockhampton Happenings

Rocky is rocks with concerts, events and festivals every year.  Some big ticket items include the Rockhampton Show, Beef Australia Expo, Rockhampton Cultural Festival and the Capricorn Food and Wine Festival.


Rocky’s Natural Attractions

The Southern Great Barrier Reef is just a stone’s throw away but you can also head inland for a true taste of what living in Central Queensland is all about – national parks, the Capricorn Caves, and numerous state forests.

Homecorp first started developing in Rockhampton in the early 2000’s. The potential was clear to see and that is still the case more than 15 years on. If Rocky sounds like the kind of place you’d  like to call home, take a look at The Gardens or reach out to the team at Homecorp today.

Looking for luxury apartment living on the Gold Coast?
Apartments, Gold Coast

Gold Coast Apartments 

The Gold Coast property market across all sectors continues to remain one of Australia’s most resilient, bolstered by high numbers of migration and significant new infrastructure and investment projects.

Famed for its natural amenities and idyllic lifestyle, this iconic coastal destination is one of the fastest growing economies in the country with interstate migration fuelling population growth and that in turn super powering demand for property.

Gold Coast Property Trends

Like many parts of Australia, demand on the Gold Coast continues to be strong, driven by high levels of immigration that has been at record levels.

Many were forecasting a drop or at least an easing in the number of people choosing to call the Gold Coast home but the influx of new Australians remains high.

Gold Coast Population Growth Forecasts

Population growth for the Gold Coast is known for overseas immigration but strong interstate migration is super powering the property market.

As such, property prices are expected to continue increasing throughout 2024.

Prices had been forecast to drop in 2023 but figures showed they increase of 8.1 per cent.

The area is well-known for roller coasters and although the property market also sees peaks and troughs, over the 35 years to 2021 PRD research shows the Gold Coast median house price grew 1,077 per cent and unit prices rose 643 per cent.

How 2023 stacked up in property

The Covid 19 pandemic greatly impacted the building and construction sector. Unsurprisingly, FY23 saw a sharp fall in apartment launches, around a -48 per cent drop from the launch numbers from FY22, however it was still the highest number of apartments launched since FY19.

New apartment sales on the booming Gold Coast. The surge came as a swath of cashed-up local and interstate buyers pounced on the larger luxury residences that have become the post-COVID-19 staple of the coastal city market.

Biggest-selling Gold Coast projects

Over the September quarter, the biggest-selling Gold Coast project – according to Urbis – was Drew Group’s Lagoon project at Main Beach, which is being built by Hutchinson Builders and racked up 124 sales across two towers.

The first stage of Cienna, a multi-tower project in Varsity Lakes being undertaken by Ron Bakir’s Homecorp, secured 85 sales. Meanwhile, 26 Vista, a high-rise tower at Surfers Paradise being developed by Malaysian-listed MRCB Malaysia, sold 80 apartments over the quarter.

Homecorp offers a highly experienced development and building team

Urbis director Paul Riga said a significant new trend was the conversion of a number of build-to-rent projects to build-to-sell as developers look to capture sales in a constrained supply environment.

“What the data tells us quite simply is that the demand for apartments has remained strong,” Mr Riga said.

“This is great for the property market, underpins property prices, but creates further problems with supply – meaning if new projects don’t get under way, the supply will continue to diminish.”

Eve Residences is a stunning luxury apartment development on the Gold Coast

Homecorp is about to release the next stage of Cienna Varsity Ridge in 2024 and will also complete Eve Residences, a luxury apartment development on Marine Parade with unobstructed Broadwater views.
