Client Story: Matthew and Alice
Interstate Buyers Find a Renovation Project in Currimundi
Client Overview
Client: Owner Occupiers relocating from interstate
Location: Interstate

Result: Secured at $1,230,000
They Did Not Want a Finished Home
They wanted a project. Relocating from interstate to Queensland, this couple had a clear brief: a large backyard, a pool, space to actually live in, and enough renovation upside to make the work worthwhile. Close to the beach. Commutable to Maroochydore for work. Everything else was flexible.
That combination sounds straightforward. In practice, it narrowed the field fast. A lot of what came up in the central Sunshine Coast property search was either too small, too polished, or too far from the water.
The Challenge: Finding the Right Block in a Market That Rewards Local Knowledge
For interstate buyers unfamiliar with Sunshine Coast suburbs, the risk is not just missing a good property. It is paying too much for the wrong one. Block size and beach proximity were doing a lot of the filtering, but knowing which pockets actually reward a renovation takes time in the market that most buyers relocating from interstate simply do not have.
Ocean Buyers Agency, working as buyers advocates on the Sunshine Coast, filtered the search to suburbs where land content, beach access, and owner-occupier character aligned with what this couple was actually after.
Finding the Right Property
Currimundi came up and it fit. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a pool, and a large backyard. The home needed love. For this couple, that was the appeal, not the compromise.
It is a well-established owner-occupier suburb with a street feel that has taken decades to build. Close to the beach. Well-placed for the Maroochydore commute. The kind of location that rewards buyers who are willing to put work into a property rather than pay a premium for someone else's renovation.
"Finding a property with the right bones in the right location is what this kind of brief comes down to. Currimundi delivered on both."
The Result
Ocean Buyers Agency secured the property at $1,230,000. No competition clouding the decision. No overpaying for a suburb that did not fit.
They moved to Queensland for a better life and a home worth working on. Now they have both.
