Last weekend marked the 90th birthday of our local high school and on behalf of all local real estate agents we owe you a big thankyou! The respect Brisbane State High has earned as an outstanding education facility has led to its neighbourhood’s real estate increasing in price. Without any doubt.
We’ve just sold a house nearby and the Brisbane State High catchment was a crucial drawcard for more than half the buyer enquiry we received. Familes from as far afield as Aspley made the drive to Highgate Hill in the hope of securing a home, and importantly an address that is inside the line on the map. And this is a common story.
If you’re a Highgate Hill real estate agent, a South Brisbane real estate agent, a West End real estate agent, or even an agent handling those parts of Woolloongabba real estate that are within the catchment, you owe the school a huge thankyou. Local home owners who’ve sent their kids to BSHS have had the double-benefit: a great school and solid home prices.

I’ve just finished reading “First home buyers led the way in ‘09″ courtesy of local online rag www.brisbanetimes.com.au touting first-home owners as the savours of the local property market for 2009.
That’s great news and certainly worthy of a mention, but it’s fair to say that in the 4101 post code (and specifically in my own backyard of South Brisbane), first time purchases never really caught the buyer bug, with most activity this quarter undeniably as a result of a revitalized investor market, fuelled by improved rental returns and historically low interest rates.
That’s not to say that first home buyers aren’t an active or important segment of the South Brisbane market, just that most of those who can afford a home, can’t find one with a drought of available properties and some agents predicting a seller’s market just around the corner.
Busy at the moment too with families wanting to be close to Brisbane State High School…. always a positive for sellers at this time of year.

Brisbane State High School
If you want great schooling for your kids but don’t want to pay the private school fees then you’re probably one of the future Brisbane State High School parents who wants to know exactly where the catchment area is before you put money down on your next home. Yes, it’s a regular question we’re asked at our Open Homes on Saturdays.
If you’re looking in West End, Highgate Hill, South Bank, South Brisbane and Dutton Park you’re safe, but you’d want to double check the map if you’re looking around Buranda or Woolloongabba. You can print the map from their website which shows the boundaries and take it with you when you’re out doing the rounds.
