CoreLogic data shows houses in these suburbs are on the market for an average of 48 days before being snapped up by buyers.
Other top performing suburbs in Pine Rivers include Kallangur, where homes sold in an average of 50 days, Strathpine and Petrie at 54 days and Warner with 57 days.
Strathpine’s David Deane Real Estate director and sales manager Mark Rumsey sold 55 Leone St, Bray Park, in just 19 days on the market.
The four bedroom, two bathroom home — built in 1975 on 607sq m — was very popular with buyers.
“This type of property is very popular, because it gives you flexible living options, everything is fresh and it’s not far from schools and rail,” Mr Rumsey said.
“I’ve got plenty of examples within 500m of this home that have sold just as fast.
“Strathpine, Bray Park and Petrie are the thinnest I’ve seen stocked for a long time.”
He said buyers were “quickly realising” the area was good value for money.
“There’s a huge employment base, with Brendale and North Lakes massive drivers for housing out here,” Mr Rumsey said.
“The spotlight is also on with the university and railway upgrade … and it’s only 20-25km from the CBD.
“In areas like Aspley and Bracken Ridge, the same house you’re paying an extra $50,000 to $100,000, so people see huge benefits in just coming out a few extra kilometres.
“These areas will only continue to be popular with buyers and investors.”
While in Mango Hill, Ray White North Lakes sales professional Vijay Kumar is selling 22 Limosa Court, Mango Hill.
The four bedroom, two bathroom home — built in 1998 on 825sq m — has been fully renovated and has an in-ground saltwater solar-heated pool and solar panels on the roof.
Mr Kumar said there has been steady interest in the property, on the market for $559,000.
“This property is in a cul-de-sac, which means only local traffic will go down the road, making it attractive to buyers,” he said.
“It’s also on a large block and only 10 minutes to the train station,” he said.
He agreed homes in the area were on the market for about 48 days.
“In my experience, homes generally sell between 40 and 50 days in Mango Hill,” Mr Kumar said.
“This area is only going to continue to grow in popularity, especially once the train station opens. Plus it’s close to North Lakes, which makes it attractive to buyers.”
