Q: How does ACRES sell development sites?

ACRES operates upstream of traditional agency. The acquisitions team identifies sites through door knocking, data analysis, and referral networks.

Yes. ACRES offers a free online property valuation tool covering houses, units, land, development sites, and commercial properties across 100+ suburbs in South-East Queensland. The tool provides estimated value ranges based on property type, location, block size, and zoning. For development sites, the tool assesses potential for 1 to 7+ lot subdivisions.

Q: Who are the directors of ACRES?

Zoning and Height

The single biggest price driver. Higher density zoning allows more dwellings, generating more revenue, which means developers can pay more for the land.

Location Within the Suburb

Properties on or near Mudgeeraba Road, Worongary Road, Railway Street, and Springbrook Road command premiums due to higher density zoning, better transport access, and stronger end-buyer appeal.

Site Configuration

Wide frontage (15m+), flat topography, and corner positions increase value. Narrow, deep blocks or steeply sloping sites attract fewer buyers.

Existing Approvals

A site with a current DA typically sells for 10-20% more than an unapproved site, as the buyer avoids months of approval risk and holding costs.

How Mudgeeraba Compares

Mudgeeraba represents the Gold Coast's hinterland lifestyle proposition. While density is lower than coastal suburbs, the family demographic and school catchment demand create steady property value growth.

Key insight: Properties that would sell for a standard residential price regularly achieve significant premiums when marketed correctly as development sites.
