The retired NRL legend Greg Inglis continues to shuffle his property portfolio, after selling out of Sydney.
The former South Sydney Rabbitoh has just bought a Queensland duplex in partnership with his estranged wife, Sally Robinson.
Robinson, who separated from Inglis last year, moved back to Queensland with their two young children.
They have paid $920,000 for a resort-style home nearby in Shorncliffe, a coastal suburb northeast of Brisbane. The recently renovated, decade-old two-storey home has six bedrooms. Both levels of the home have three bedrooms.
There’s also a saltwater swimming pool at the new buy.
The purchase has prompted the listing of Inglis’s long-time Bargara apartment in the Bundaberg region.
Inglis, who returned to Rabbitohs training this week for the first time since checking in to rehab, is set to make a loss on the apartment that he bought brand new.
He paid $590,000 in 2008, shortly after the Global Financial Crisis hit.
Prices haven’t recovered in the Queensland coastal region and Inglis is asking $475,000 for the two-bedroom ocean-facing apartment in the Manta apartment complex.
He is offering it fully furnished through Coastline Realty agent Emma Bauer.
It comes as Inglis, who has been a Little Bay-based renter, recently offloaded his former Coogee home for $2,475,000 through McGrath agent Marnie Seinor.
Inglis had bought the Coogee semi after his move from Melbourne at the end of 2010.
He paid $1.1 million for what was then a two-bedroom federation home and then transformed the property into a three-level, four-bedroom home, behind its period facade.
The Kempsey-born star retired from rugby league earlier this year.
He was first signed with the Canberra Raiders at 15, but didn’t play a game before moving to Brisbane and playing for Melbourne Storm’s feeder club before being added to the Storm’s playing roster in 2004.

Greg Inglis buys Shorncliffe, Queensland home

Manly Sea Eagle Martin Taupau and new fiancee, NRL's indigenous engagement manager Michelle Baillie, have secured what they described as one of their 'forever homes'.
Taupau posted a boomerang video to his Instagram followers of the couple jumping for joy in front of the sold sign.
It was accompanied with the caption '#TEAMKAPOW just bought the first of our forever homes!'
The post was followed a day later by a picture of a wedding ring.
They've paid $1,435,000 for a three level home in the Eastern Suburbs.
The Botany home spans three levels and has three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Two of the bedrooms open to their own balcony.
The open plan kitchen and dining room overlook the courtyard set amid established trees on its 265 square metre parcel.
The home doubled in price before its recent sales through NG Farah Little Bay agent David Lee, who sold the home in 55 days.
Taupau, a New Zealand international, has been with the Sea Eagles since he left the troubled Tigers in 2016.
The prop's four-year deal with Manly was leaked on Twitter by a Canadian arts writer who was sent the details by mistake.
Having moved to Sydney from Auckland when he was 10, Taupau began his career at the Bulldogs but couldn't hammer down a first team place over his three year stint.
He joined the Tigers for the 2014 season and played in every game that season, a season which was crowned by winning the 2014 Rugby League Four Nations with the Kiwis.
Last year he enrolled in a bachelor of business degree.

West Tigers star David Nofoaluma has settled on a family home in Sydney's west.
The Newcastle-born utility has bought a home in the master planned Stockland community Willowdale estate at Denham Court.
He's paid $860,000 for the four bedroom home with a landscaped front and rear garden on its 400 square metres parcel.
Last year he paid $525,000 for a building block in the Gregory Hills estate with his interior designer fiancee Christine Assoni, who he recently proposed to.
That's set to be a project for the happy couple, having recently submitted plans to subdivide the 535 square metres parcel and build two double storey dwellings.
Nofoaluma is no stranger to the area, having grown up playing his junior football for the Campbelltown Warriors and Campbelltown Collegians before being signed by the West Tigers in 2010.
He re-signed with the Tigers in 2012 and made his debut the following year, scoring a match-winning try in his second outing against the North Queensland Cowboys.
Nofoaluma won the Dally M Try of the Year for his effort against Manly, converting a Benji Marshall bomb with most of his body in the air over the dead ball line.
West Tigers have had a strong start to the season and sit fourth on the ladder, having stunned the much favoured Storm and the Roosters late on in the opening few rounds of the season.

Recently retired Newcastle Knight Anthony Tupou and wife Kimberley Bazley have bought a home just outside of Newcastle.
They've spent $1.3 million on an original 1970s brick and tile home on the border of Nesca Park.
Set on 620 square metres, the three bedroom home has a split level lounge and dining domain and a lower level rumpus.
A rear verandah overlooks the saltwater swimming pool.
Robinson Property The Junction agent Michael Flook sold the home after having $1.35 million to $1.45 million hopes.
Last year Tupou sold his Maroubra investment at auction for $965,000 through NG Farah.
The 1970s Beach Court apartment cost Tupou $491,000 in 2005 shortly after he joined the Sydney Roosters.
Tupou made his Roosters debut in 2004, then joining the Sharks in 2009 having played 111 games for the Roosters. He played 125 games for Cronulla in seven seasons.
Over the years he made 11 Test appearances for the Kangaroo's and played four State of Origin games for New South Wales.

There's new beginnings off-field for the Bulldogs marquee recruit, Kieran Foran.
He has bought a home over the summer break - and it is with his new love interest, Karina May Ormsby.
The home was marketed as "a family oasis immersed in nature".
The architect-designed sanctuary cost $1.7 million, with Foran and Ormsby holding equal equity for the home on 1175 square metres in a stunning bushland setting.
Showcasing fluid open spaces and al fresco entertaining, the modern home has a National Park outlook with picturesque walking trails.
It is 30 kilometres from training at Belmore. 
Limited Instagram images so far show the family enjoying the home, although there was a recent balcony hammock shot.
The couple, just back from their trip to the tennis in Melbourne, have been dating since late last year. Omsby is a Central Coast hairdresser and fitness instructor.
The late 2017 listing of Foran's Freshwater home involved legal action from his former flame and mother of his two children, Rebecca Pope, who did not have official equity in their intended family home.
Pope's lawyers lodged a caveat on the property before its sale, suggesting she should get a cut of the proceeds.
Legal paperwork suggested Pope made "direct and indirect financial and non-financial contributions to the acquisition, conservation and maintenance of the lands".
Bought in 2016, Pope and their two children live in the home during his New Zealand stint.
It secured $3.05 million after a $2.8 million price guidance. The home cost Foran $2.51 million.
Pope had viewed the five bedroom home as their "forever home," upon the purchase.
Foran made himself unavailable for New Zealand's World Cup campaign in a bid to be fit for the 2018 season with his new club.
Over the past two years the five-eighth has faced problems with his shoulder, back and quadriceps.
Foran began his career at the Sea Eagles before moving to the Eels. He only played nine games at Parramatta after being granted indefinitely by the club.

Bulldogs recruit Kieran Foran finds new bushland home

The star NRL Bulldogs recruit Kieran Foran has finalised his springtime property portfolio disposal with the sale of his Dee Why investment apartment.
His two sales yielded around $3.75 million.
He set a $745,000 asking price on the two bedroom investment offering, but got his buyer when the price was lowered to $729,000.
<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-apartment-nsw-dee+why-126724574" target="_blank">The late 1960s Westminster Avenue apartment</a> which cost $451,500 in 2011 had been available for rent earlier this year at $520 a week.
Foran, who left the New Zealand Warriors to return to Sydney because he wanted to be closer to his kids, has not commented on his plans after the big sell up.
His latest Instragrams have regularly featured his fishing exploits after earlier Instagram posts revealed his new relationship with 48 year old former Central Coast hairdresser, fitness instructor Karina May, a mother of six.
The mixed fortunes in Foran's off-field life returned recently to the public arena following the listing of his Freshwater house last month.
It came with $2.8 million hopes through Ray White Freshwater agents Graham Bennett and Bernard Hachenberg who secured $3,055,000.
It was the home that Foran bought early last year - where his former partner Rebecca Pope and the couple's two children resided during his season playing in New Zealand.
After the for sale sign board went up, an upset Pope told the local paper, The Manly Daily, that she'd viewed it as her "forever" home.
"I wanted to stay here forever," she said.
“It was our dream home with a big block, ideal for our children and two dogs."
A legal battle over the proceeds has begun, with Pope's lawyers lodging a caveat on the home which sits officially just in Foran's name.
The legal paperwork suggested she made "direct and indirect financial and non-financial contributions to the acquisition, conservation and maintenance of the lands".
Foran paid $2.51 million in early 2016.
By the time the home had settled and the family moved in, their relationship was over.
Foran was registered earlier this week by the Bulldogs, with pre-season having started on Monday.

The English Super League recruit, South Sydney Rabbitoh veteran Bryson Goodwin has leased his Oyster Bay home.
The versatile back is heading to the UK with wife, Jessica and their two children having spent the past 11 years in the NRL. 
He has signed a two-year deal with Super League club, Warrington Wolves.
“The plan was for me to go over on my own then come home for Christmas, but now we’re all coming,” he told the local UK paper, the Warrington Guardian. 
“We thought it would be a great adventure for us as a family. To get the chance to come over to England and play footy is a great privilege.”
Now he needs to change his Twitter page which says “live in Sydney! surfing, golf, reading, diving, fishing”.
The couple paid $728,000 for the three-bedroom home in 2013, after he joined the Redfern-based club. He was previously at the Bulldogs after starting his career at Cronulla in 2007. 
The rental property was recently marketed at $750 a week for either a six or 12-month lease through Chamber Fleming Professionals Padstow agent Jade Tavener. 
The couple also retain a Cronulla apartment which was bought in 2008. 
A son of Australian rugby league representative Ted Goodwin, Bryson was overlooked for selection in the Rabbitohs premiership winning campaign in 2014.

South Sydney Rabbitohs stalwart George Burgess and wife Joanna have listed their home in Chifley in Sydney’s south-east.
Burgess has enlisted former teammate turned NG Farah Kingsford agent Beau Champion to auction the property.
Champion, who attended the couple’s wedding in Noosa late last year, has set the auction for Saturday, ­November 25.
The couple seem keen to move ­closer to Burgess’s brothers, Sam in Maroubra and Tom at Coogee.
<img class="size-full wp-image-240733" src="https://www.realestate.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/30090153/capi_e346cfab5a2499c51cb745c12d230cc0_bf7716d33c8c92351dd3411d45837883.jpeg" alt="The property at 59A Caley Street, Chifley" data-capiid="bf7716d33c8c92351dd3411d45837883">
Burgess, who has been in the green and red since 2012 and was a key figure in the 2014 grand final win, bought the house in 2015.
The two-level family home was ­designed by architects Pinnacle Plus for a 256 square metre site. It has four bedrooms and three bathrooms.
Thirty homes have sold in Chifley in the past two years, ranging from $1.2 million to $2.2 million. The suburb’s four-bedroom median is $1,835,000.
Burgess and Joanna, who is studying interior design, welcomed their first child, Boston, in April. 
Burgess is building up an eastern suburbs property portfolio, including a Randwick apartment.
The Burgess boys are all on the property ladder in Sydney’s east, taking advantage of the beaches they don’t get in England.
Sam lives in a Maroubra mansion and owns a Bondi Beach investment apartment. Luke, who now plays in the English Super League, also has a Chifley property, and youngest brother Tom, the last to buy, has an apartment in Coogee.
Beau Champion recently gained his real estate licence. “I’ve always had a passion for real estate and now pride myself on building my brand around my service,” he said.
The home is set in a quiet residential street within walking distance of schools, parks and cafes. It is also close to Westfield Eastgardens and direct city transport along Anzac Parade.

St George Illawarra Dragons star Tyson Frizell has spent $1.27 million on a 1960s home in Gymea, closer to his old stomping ground than his current.
Frizell has been based in Russell Vale near the WIN Stadium since 2013 when he joined the Dragons from the Sharks.
Earlier this month the 26 year old Wollongong born forward made the cut for the Kangaroo's World Cup squad for the first time.
Frizell has bought the home with his fiancee, graphic designer Samantha Fahy.
Their dog Ziggy, who has his own Instagram, is apparently delighted with the big back yard space. 
Upon the purchase, an Instagram picture of Ziggy and Fahy was captioned: ''first selfie in our new house. Me, mum and dad bought a house and I get a brand new big backyard!!!!"
He's already been snapped lounging by the pool, and down at Gymea baths with Tyson. The two were "checking out the new neighbourhood".
The original brick family home on 805 square metres was advertised as having amazing potential to build or renovate before Frizell snapped it up pre-auction.
It has three bedrooms, one bathroom and a large back yard with swimming pool.
Purple Bricks agent Joshua Singer sold the home pre-auction. 
Frizell began his career at the Cronulla Sharks but moved to St George in 2013 where he nears 100 games.
The back-rower, now a permanent fixture in the NSW Blues Origin side after breaking through in 2016, was a standout last month when Australia Prime Ministers XIII beat PNG 48-8.
