Why are these suburbs so quick?

North Lakes is about 26 km north of the Brisbane CBD, with Westfield North Lakes and IKEA close by. Mango Hill and Griffin sit right alongside it. That combination of shopping, space and access to Brisbane keeps a steady flow of buyers coming through.

Lots of buyers, plus homes that suit families, plus sellers who price to the market, adds up to medians of 11 to 13 days.

How do you buy in a market this fast?

When the median home sells in under two weeks, the buyers who win are the ones who did their homework before the listing appeared.

• Have finance approved before you inspect. If you see the right home on a Saturday, you may need to make an offer by Monday.
• Know your numbers by suburb. A $1.15m median in Mango Hill and $1.03m in Griffin is a real difference. Decide which suburbs fit before you start.
• Get in before the listing goes live. Kindred introduces homes to active buyers in its database before they hit the portals. Register for pre-market property alerts so you're in that first group.
• Line up your checks. Have a conveyancer and building and pest inspector ready to go, so your conditions don't slow you down.
• Browse what's listed now. See current homes for sale on our property listings page.

Which of the three should you pick?

It depends what matters most. North Lakes gives you the most choice, simply because more homes sell there. Mango Hill costs a little more and moves the fastest. Griffin is the most affordable of the three for both houses and units. If you're flexible, search all three at once and let the right home decide.

What if the budget doesn't stretch?

Look a little further north or east. Burpengary 4505 houses have a median of $1.02m, up 14.7%, selling in 14 days. Caboolture 4510 is at $940k, up 17.1%, selling in 16 days. Deception Bay 4508, on the bay, is at $897k. Our Deception Bay 4508 house prices and market update covers that market in detail.

Burpengary and Caboolture move a little slower, which can give you more room to negotiate. All three have grown strongly over the past year, so they're not standing still.
