Record run of sales continues Strong demand from over 50’s hailing from Brisbane’s northern suburbs, the Sunshine Coast and interstate has seen a new wave of baby boomers staking their claim at Halcyon Glades in Caboolture North.

Project Director Marie Cone said that the New Year has kicked off with a bang, with an increase in enquiry and sales to match.

“The surge in activity has accounted for almost eight million dollars in sales in the space of just eight weeks,” said Marie.

“Purchasers are responding to what they perceive as excellent value for money with the high quality finish of homes, exceptional 5-Star facilities on offer, along with the security and peace of mind that comes with living in a gated, master-planned community.”

A strong local property market has provided prospective purchasers with the incentive and confidence to sell their existing home, and move on to the exciting next phase of their lives.

“For many who have already made the move to Halcyon Glades, it’s all about downsizing the hassles, upgrading their lifestyle and having the freedom to lock and go” said Marie.
