    I've noticed ads showing properties now going for $390-420k+

    Towards the end of last year properties were still going for $350-380k. A good 10% rise in less than 6 months.

    I've got 2 in the area.
    Waiting to see what sort of growth we'll see once the train station is open in July (2-3months away).

    I grew up there. Mum and dad still there. Will be interesting to see prices with the train opening up.

    Actually if we go back to 2014...you could have bought under 300k....but you are right the whole Redcliffe Peninsula is warming up.

    As I have said in other posts....I can see mid 4s being the norm within 18 months.

    Could the price rises have priced in the fact that there will be a train station?

    Argh don't promote the suburb too much yet please! I'm still looking for a place around there and don't need even more competition:p

    Definitely.
    However, I think there's always speculative growth beforehand and once infrastructure has been delivered there is usually slower and more consistent growth as the flow on effects take place: commuters for work, businesses growing, close to schools etc.

    I believe the region has been waiting for this to happen for a very, very long time. (Like 50years+?)

    Agreed.
    The yields and growth is too good to refuse even in this environment.
    You can still pick up positive geared properties in the area.
    As risky as I like to think I am, I'm quite conservative and will sit tight with 2 and regret later for not buying more.

    Seems a stretch.

    Good ole Wiki
    Moreton Bay Rail Link - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Early history[edit]
    A rail line to Redcliffe was first proposed in 1895 when the Queensland Government's Minister for Railways, Mr Hon Robert Philp, considered three proposals, one preferred route via North Pine (Petrie).[2] In more recent times, the Redcliffe railway was more seriously identified and anticipated in the 1970s, and the land was purchased in the 1980s by the state government.[3] This land is still owned by the government and was preserved as a transport corridor. The issue of the proposed railway line seemed to be a recurrent theme during state elections, leading to a skeptical belief by many that the line would never actually be constructed.

    We'll see I suppose.
    Still plenty of time to muff it up.

    Whats streets did you buy in bobby? I've got one in Mcgregor street.The tenants have been great from day one. 370p/w from a 350k purchase not a great yield but its been hassle free compared to my logan property.

    What's the consensus of this area - is it better to be closer to the CBD (Petrie) or to the bay (Redcliffe/Kippa)?

    I believe both of these areas will continue to do well....one is closer to the CBD but not by much may 2-3 klms and the proposed University. The other has the amenities of the Bay!

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but Redcliffe and kippa ring are safe in terms of flood mappings. Rothwell (south end) however, is a different story.
