There has been a huge surge in buyer demand in some of regional Queensland's beachside suburbs, with two unlikely townships experiencing triple digit growth.
And one suburb blitzed the competition with price growth of 33.8 per cent.
Forrest Beach (Hinchinbrook) and Hay Point (Mackay) recorded a sharp rise in the number of views per property listing over the past 12 months, up 147.1 per cent and 138.4 per cent respectively, new data from realestate.com.au reveals.
The current median house price in the sleepy beachside suburb of Forrest Beach is now $220,000, which is down from a high of $280,000 three years ago.
