February 6, 2011 Marc Pallisco Gold Coast, Gold Coast Prestige Residential

GOLD Coast nightclub owner Jamie Pickering is reported to have paid $2.5 million for a penthouse in the Circle on Cavill building.

The price is a sharp drop from the $5.95 million another investor paid developer Sunland for the flat, off the plan.

The result vindicates researchers who report some Gold Coast values have collapsed by more than 50 per cent since the economic downturn took hold in 2008. Some agencies report clearance rates as low as 10 per cent.

That said, a four bedroom waterfront home at Paradise Waters sold for $4.8 million. However that price was far less than the $5.8 million another investor paid for it, in 2005.

A change in the facilities offered by some caravan parks – including pools, playgrounds and tennis courts – has also contributed to the newfound buoyancy.

But so too has a lack of supply – caused by some caravan parks selling to developers, who exploit their often spectacular locations with apartments and commercial facilities.

Australian Bureau of Statistics tourism data showed occupancy levels in Queensland’s caravan parks increased substantially in the year to September 2009, the most recent figures available.
