Australia’s property price madness: 4.6m-wide vacant block listed at $400K-plus

1

With property prices at all-time highs, a vacant block just a metre wider than an average single-car garage has hit the market for offers over $400,000.

The block, which is 4.6 metre wide, is at Stockland‘s Baringa master planned community in Caloundra West on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. It is currently leased as a footpath (yes, seriously).

Richardson and Wrench Coolum sales executive James Henley said the block is 4.6m wide and 28.1m long. The average size of a single car garage is 3.6m wide.

“Prices are going crazy on the Sunshine Coast and what seems to be an ambitious price sets a new benchmark for an area,” said Mr Henley.

“The market is growing rapidly. All it takes is a buyer who sees value, and that buyer will be willing to pay the amount.”

Mr Henley said it would suit a small terrace home, which have grown in popularity among first home buyers eager to get into the market.

We all know property prices have soared this year – but we’re not sure this offer is worth its weight in avocado toast.

    WHEN THE MARKET COULD COLLAPSE. WHAT COULD BRING THIS ABOUT?.
