How do you view the future of the Cairns housing market once things get back to normal?
When the world recovers from this crisis, we think it will make people think twice about travelling abroad and really appreciate their own home.
We think locals and new people moving here will want to be comfortable and enjoy their sanctuary more than ever now.
We have definitely acknowledged that young clients are also rising rather rapidly.
This age bracket of clientele knows what they want in terms of quality building and the style of design that will let them enjoy their daily lifestyle.
With this mindset, the budget can become secondary.
