Holland Park has been named as the top Queensland suburb for online searches, according to new data.

The
top 10 Queensland suburbs that have the most people looking per listing,
according to realestate.com.au data were released at the weekend.

The
top suburbs are:

  1. Holland Park
  2. Newmarket
  3. Wilston’
  4. Camp Hill
  5. Stafford Heights
  6. Grange
  7. Spring Hill
  8. Mansfield
  9. Ashgrove
  10. Holland Park West

According
to the data, there’s little change to the Queensland suburbs this quarter with
the exception of emerging suburbs, Newmarket and Ashgrove, placed in second and
ninth place.

Demand
for property in Holland Park continues to grow with the suburb taking top
position once again as Queensland’s hottest suburb for potential sellers.

Piers
Crawford from Ray White Holland Park believes the suburb has a lot to offer.

“Holland Park has this vibrant feel about it,” he
says.

“A large number of young professionals are
moving to this area because of what it offers. Along with good schools and
transport, there’s always a new café popping up where people often flock to
during the week.”

Crawford says the area is also set for growth and further development.

“Having pockets of low medium density, there are
always active developers putting in new units or offices. Building
opportunities are growing with a development site having 14 offers within five
days. This was an absolutely fantastic result for the owner,” he says.

A
position in the top 10 list reveals increased buyer interest in the suburb
according to realestate.com.au’s Queensland sales manager, Ben Hodge.

“(The data) looks at supply and demand in each suburb and
ranks the suburbs based on ratio of buyer demand,” he says.

“A position in this list suggests that it could be
a good time for property owners in these areas to consider selling as there are
a high number of buyers looking for property in that area.

“Now potential vendors can make a more informed
decision when thinking of selling property.”

While
Holland Park kept first place, Stafford Heights has slipped from second to
fifth place since last quarter. Spring Hill and Holland Park West have both
moved down the list, to seventh and 10th place respectively.
