We bought our 4 bedroom brick veneer getaway on the South Coast ( where my Obs is located ) back in 2016 on good advice from a friend. He said don’t procrastinate as prices down south will skyrocket within 5 years as the South Coast is the next frontier for retiree’s and young folk who want a lifestyle change. He was spot on , our place has more than doubled in value in nearly 8 years. But then again we are located 150m from the beach on a hill with a small ocean view between gum trees and a view of the mountains behind Conjolla park to the north west. Places on the beach in our area fetch between $3M to $12M which is absolutely ridiculous
There are still modestly priced properties around on the South Coast , you just have to be lucky and definitely no beach views.
