Queensland is attracting more people.
They are increasing coming from overseas and not from interstate.
Queensland’s biggest increase in overseas nationalities over the last five years were:
- Indian up 64%
- Korean up 57%
- Chinese up 49%
- Spanish up 44%
- Sri Lankan up 43%
- Filipino up 35%
- Vietnamese up 35%
If this population remix remains in play, then Queensland’s housing needs will change.
Many of the nationalities high up on the Queensland overseas growth list want different things when it comes to housing when compared to older Australian households and migrants coming from the Anglosphere.
They like, for example, to live in multi-generational groups.
For many accommodating their adult children and/or their elderly parents on the same title is the major factor when buying or renting.
Many also opt to improve their residence – over time – to support more household members.
