“It should be remembered that the increase in price is relative to the land size.”
“The lot size increased through the quarter as well moving from 400m2 to I guess a more traditional Ballarat size of 448m2, so we saw an extra increase of about 12%,” Mr. Staedler said.
It was a significant turnaround for the region, which recorded a 25% fall in sales in the September quarter.
