Queensland’s luxury property market continues to reach new heights, with Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty at the centre of the region’s latest milestone sale.

The agency has set a new benchmark in the Whitsundays, surpassing its own 2024 record with the recent sale of Element Hill on Hamilton Island. This achievement follows the high-profile transaction of Villa De La Mer in Airlie Beach, which sold for close to $15 million.

Known for handling some of the region’s most prestigious properties, Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty has played a pivotal role in elevating the profile of the Whitsundays as a destination for luxury real estate. Their strategic marketing campaigns, extensive buyer networks and persistence throughout lengthy sales campaigns have proven critical in securing premium outcomes.

The earlier sale of Villa De La Mer exemplified this approach, attracting strong national interest and multiple offers over an extended period. By maintaining confidence in the property’s value and targeting the right buyers, the agency was able to achieve a record-breaking result that exceeded previous regional benchmarks.

This latest sale further cements Sotheby’s reputation as a leader in the prestige property sector, not just within Queensland but across Australia. As demand for high-end coastal homes continues to grow, their influence is helping to reshape expectations and pricing across the Whitsundays.

For the local community, these results signal increasing confidence in the region’s property market and reinforce its standing on the national stage.
