The founder of hotspotting.com ,Terry Ryder, has described the Sunshine Coast as having 'Australia's most compelling growth story' when it comes to property.
This hasn't always been the case. Mr Ryder who lives in Maleny said the Coast had previously been on the 'No Go Zone and Places to avoid (investing) list'. But now he said the coast has come into its own on many levels.
Now it makes the Number 1 Top Spot on his 10 Best Investment Opportunities for medium to long term.
Mr Ryder says a sea of high-vis jackets doesn't just mean improved livability for local residents, it also means more jobs, stronger economic growth and booming populations. When you combine this with affordable prices, you have a winner.
Mr Ryder says while property prices in the region continue to rise, it will be in a sustainable manner.
