Renovator’s Goldmine: Why Shailer Park Appeals to Upgraders
(Format: Renovation-Focused Storytelling)
When Sam and Elise bought their 1986 brick home in Shailer Park, they paid $715,000. Two years later, after $85,000 in renovations, they sold it for $995,000.
Their story isn’t rare.
🧱 Why It Works
Larger blocks (750m²–1,100m²)
Sturdy builds with simple floorplans
Split-levels and highsets ready for rework
The suburb is filled with homes that haven’t been touched in decades — and buyers with vision are capitalising.
Top 3 Renovation Wins
Upgrade Type | Avg. ROI |
|---|---|
Kitchen & floors | 22% |
Landscaping + deck | 18% |
Extra bathroom | 25–30% |
Who’s Moving In?
Tradies upgrading their own homes
Young families from Brisbane southside
Investors buying to modernise + rent
Local Hack
Look for homes near Kimberley Park State School. Demand stays consistent in that pocket due to school zoning and elevated land.
