Properties like 6 Midson St are in hot demand as buyers search to get more bang for their buck.The Petrie property sold for $555,000 in March after 23 groups were shown through the home.
RE/MAX Ultimate Sales associate David Merryweather said the buyers were moving from the south side of Brisbane as they saw they could get more value for money.

“They wanted space and they wanted a leafy suburb for when they consider starting
a family down the track,” Mr Merryweather said.
The couple saw potential in the property for future extensions, with a storage area beneath the perfect space to build additional bedrooms or living areas.

Mr Merryweather also said there was nowhere near enough stock to keep up with the demand in the area, with families still wanting a decent sized yard flocking to the area.

“I have lots and lots of buyers I’ve spoken to in that area (but) we’ve got more buyers than
we’ve got homes for,” he said.
“There’s not a great deal for sale so the properties that do come to market tend to attract a fair bit of attention.”
