Summer never ends in Queensland: Eight of the best developments across Queensland's coast
This summer has earmarked a trend in Australians keen to invest in a holiday home to call their own.
“With the costs of renting a holiday home soaring thanks to huge local demand, combined with record-low interest rates, we’re experiencing a unique situation where it may actually be more cost-effective to buy rather than regularly rent a holiday home”, said David Hancock, senior financial planner at Montara Wealth.
