澳洲昆士蘭:新興的房地產熱點
昆士蘭蘇富比國際房地產首席執行官,保羅‧亞瑟 ( Paul Arthur ):「在過去的三年中,昆士蘭州黃金海岸地區的房地產價值幾乎翻了一番;這裡有從 80 萬澳幣 ~ 2,700 萬澳幣的獨棟家庭住宅和 120 萬澳幣 ~ 700 萬澳幣的高層公寓混合存在。黃金海岸以其原始的沙灘、奢華、夜生活和餐廳而聞名。」

全球各地的超高資產淨值投資者在雪梨和墨爾本擁有房產的同時,通常也會選擇在澳洲昆士蘭的度假勝地購置第二套房產。我們稱之為 『度假休閒房產』( Lifestyle Properties ) ,而澳洲昆士蘭州則是擁有五到六處此類型物件的理想地點。根據地點的不同,有 10% ~ 20% 的買家是外國買家,其中包括澳洲僑民。

保羅‧亞瑟表示:「澳洲在疫情期間表現出色,澳洲經濟的穩定性和澳幣的穩健,被認為是買家的避風港」。「與許多全球市場相比,昆士蘭仍然提供豪華房產的價值。疫情改變了人們工作的方式,使得昆士蘭這個地點變得更加吸引人,因為人們可以更長時間地享受他們度假休閒的房產。」

對於國際投資者而言,當前,相對於歐元和美元的貶值,澳幣可以獲得更好的價值。

昆士蘭州的許多公寓買家正在尋找附設可停泊船和水上摩托艇碼頭的運河房產。亞瑟說:「黃金海岸有很多新的開發項目,約有 15% ~ 20% 的買家來自亞洲,特別是新加坡、香港和中國。努薩 ( Noosa ) 位於布里斯本以北,有獨特重要的高度和建築限制,非常吸引喜歡植物和動物、特殊建築和注重獨特性的眾多買家。」

通往大堡礁的聖靈群島 ( Whitsunday ),擁有眾多島嶼和私人島嶼非常受到喜愛水上活動者的喜愛,他們主要購買價格為 120 萬澳幣起的公寓。島上的獨棟住宅售價高達 2,000 萬澳幣。

對於尋找熱帶氣候的人來說,道格拉斯港 ( Port Douglas ) 有分成濕季和乾季,可以通往戴恩樹雨林 ( Daintree Rainforest ) 以及大堡礁 ( Great Barrier Reef ) 」。昆士蘭州是一個吸引許多澳洲人和澳洲僑民享受度假休閒生活方式的地點。房屋售價從 80 萬澳元 ~ 1,200 萬澳元不等。

據媒體報導,來自大中華區的買家再次大舉搶購澳洲房產,用過去兩年累積的現金為下一代買房置產。代理商表示,隨著國際旅遊的反彈,預計會有更多遊客。官方統計顯示,來自大中華區的買家是當地住宅和商業資產最大的單一投資者群體,過去 10 年購買了價值近 1,500 億澳元 ( 1,010 億美元 ) 的住宅和商業資產。它們佔外國投資者購買總量的 21%。優越的居住環境以及澳洲政府持續實行友善移民政策,使得澳洲房地產市場呈現復甦迹象,新移民對穩健住房需求不減,預示未來房市潛力可期。

  Queensland, Australia - One of the Emerging Real Estate Hot Spots
“ Property values almost doubled in the Gold Coast area of Queensland over the past three years, ” Arthur says. “ There’s a mix of single-family homes from AUD800,000 to AUD27 million, and high-rise condos from AUD1.2 million to AUD7 million. The Gold Coast is known for its pristine beaches, glitz and glamour, nightlife, and restaurants. ”

While ultra-high-net-worth investors from around the globe own property in Sydney and Melbourne, they often choose to buy a second home in one of the vacation destinations in Queensland, Australia, says Paul Arthur, CEO, Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty.

“ We call them ‘ lifestyle properties, ’ and the state of Queensland has five or six of the best lifestyle locations in Australia, ” Arthur says.

Depending on the location, anywhere from 10% to 20% of the buyers are foreign, including Australian expats, with the rest domestic buyers, he says.

“ Australia fared well during the pandemic and is considered a safe haven for buyers because of the stability of our economy and the Australian dollar, ” Arthur says. “ Queensland still offers an amazing value for luxury properties compared to many global markets. The change in workplace practices makes this location even more appealing because people can enjoy their lifestyle properties for longer periods of time. ”

For international investors, Arthur points out the current opportunity to take advantage of better value because the Australian dollar is weak compared with the euro, the pound, and the American dollar.

Many of the condo buyers are looking for canal-front properties with docks for boats and jet skis. Arthur says, “ There’s plenty of new development on the Gold Coast, with about 15% to 20% of buyers from Asia, especially Singapore, Hong Kong, and China. Noosa, which is north of Brisbane, has significant height and building restrictions, which makes it appealing for many buyers who like the flora and fauna, smaller buildings, and exclusivity. ”

“ The Whitsundays region, which offers access to the Great Barrier Reef and has numerous islands and private islands, appeals to serious boaters, ” Arthur says. “ They mostly buy condos that start at AUD1.2 million and up. Single-family homes on an island are priced up to AUD20 million. ”

“ For people looking for a tropical climate, Port Douglas has a wet and dry season, access to the Daintree rainforest and to the Great Barrier Reef, ” Arthur says. “ This is a lifestyle location that attracts a lot of Australians and Australian expats. The homes range from AUD800,000 to AUD12 million. ”

According to recent media reports, buyers from the Greater China region are once again aggressively purchasing Australian real estate, using the accumulated cash from the past two years to buy properties for their children. Agents indicate that with the rebound in international travel, more tourists are expected. Official statistics show that buyers from the Greater China region constitute the largest single investor group in local residential and commercial properties, having purchased nearly AUD150 billion ( USD101 billion ) worth of real estate over the past 10 years. They account for 21% of the total purchases by foreign investors. The superior living environment, coupled with Australia's ongoing implementation of immigrant-friendly policies, are contributing to a recovery in the Australian real estate market. The sustained demand for stable housing from new immigrants suggests promising potential for the future housing market.
