REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said the report demonstrates the resilience and steady growth of the Queensland rental market: “Queensland continues to offer investors the ample opportunities in terms of strong rental yields and consistent rental growth.”

Ms Mercorella added compared to Sydney and Melbourne, Queensland has a strong return on investment over the medium and long term for investors.

West End made an appearance on the list, reporting a rental yield of 7.5 per cent, with Springwood on the Southside with the same result. Other Gold Coast suburbs made the list too, with Southport, Labrador and Coomera all making the top 100.

“[The strong return on investment], combined with increasing rental population thanks to rapid local migration, makes Queensland an appealing option for investors. So, it’s not surprising that Queensland dominated the list,” Ms Mercorella said.
