While these five Queensland suburbs still feature houses under $500K in 2025, it’s important to note that lower prices don’t always equate to ideal investment opportunities. Each suburb presents its own set of challenges, including fluctuations in rental yields, low vacancy rates, and differing capital growth trends. For instance, Mackay and Warwick are seeing solid rental income growth, whereas other areas like Goondiwindi may not offer the same level of long-term potential. While these properties are more affordable, they may not deliver the returns or stability investors typically seek. Navigating these complexities requires expert analysis and strategic insight.
