THE lust for lifestyle is causing a coastal buying frenzy forecast to drive up home prices in Queensland s seaside property markets. New research from property portal Realestate.com.au has revealed the state s strongest coastal markets based on buyer demand and price growth, and it shows the days of the beachside bargain may be numbered. Realestate.com.au executive manager of economic research Cameron Kusher said Queensland was seeing strong growth in buyer demand, particularly from NSW and Victoria, which would lead to the increasing popularity of its coastal markets over the coming year.
