An Attractive Prospect |
Surrounded by spectacular beaches and two world class National Parks, Yamba features a rich blend of natural attractions, fishing resources, dining, entertainment and sporting facilities. It is a safe community where teenagers, young families and retired couples mingle seamlessly. A favorite holiday destination for many years, Yamba's laid back lifestyle is attractive to many people. However, whilst it might be a laid back spot, Yamba's Real Estate market is fast becoming anything but. In August 2007, the median house prices in Yamba rose above $400,000. Houses at nearby Covent Beach are now selling for upwards of $1 million. Between the years 2002 and 2004 vacant land prices recorded a 20.3% price increase. Yamba has recently been named and listed in the Australian Property Magazine first annual ‘Hot 100 locations' [Nov 07 issue]. According to hotspotting.com.au founder Terry Ryder, Yamba is ‘headed for a purple patch'. For the past two years, 20 Riviera Sportscruisers from the Gold Coast sail to Yamba and berth at the Yamba Marina as part of the annual Jacaranda Festival.
