Homes are fetching eye-watering prices in key Queensland suburbs as the state's red-hot housing market shifts into a higher gear.
Recent sales this year show just how much people are willing to pay to secure a property in the Sunshine State, with some transactions smashing suburb records and homes selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars more than their asking price or reserve.
Buyers are clamouring to get into the market, with auction clearance rates up around 80 per cent, and supply is tight, resulting in prices climbing all the way from Cairns to Clayfield.
Hot auction markets like Camp Hill, Wavell Heights and Wilston have recorded epic sales under the hammer, while coastal markets like Airlie Beach, Mermaid Beach and Broadbeach Waters are achieving jaw-dropping prices for properties.
