Springfield Lakes House Price Growth
Springfield Lakes’ growth, coupled with the current condition of the region’s property market, which has been described by industry experts as the “perfect storm” with historically low interest rates and stock shortages, have driven prices upward at its fastest rate as buyers scramble to acquire the home of their choice.
Data from Property Market Updates shows Springfield Lakes pulling a 13.95 per cent house price growth for the period of October 2020 to September 2021, with the median house price nearly reaching the half-million mark at $490,000.
For this period, 509 houses were sold within an average of 38 days on the market and more than half of the sales have been for four-bedroom houses. Springfield Lakes buyers get more bang for their buck as most of the houses are still within reach of a single-income earner eager to invest in a property.
Springfield Lakes Unit Price Growth
The unit market in Springfield Lakes is as equally attractive as the housing market with a 16.99 per cent growth from October 2020 to September 2021. The unit median price is nearly the same as the house median price at $439,000.
However, unlike house sales, there were just 110 units sold for this period within 68 days of listing on the market. Most unit buyers have preferred to acquire three-bedroom properties in luxury property developments, with some seeking investor-type apartments for future income incentives.

“We’ve lived in Springfield Lakes since October 2005 and now own two houses here. We love the parks, the trees, the layout of the suburbs and the shopping has everything you really need, with more on the way. There’s a good selection of primary, secondary and tertiary education facilities. The train will service the suburb by the end of 2013, so the public transport challenges will be resolved. In the meantime, we commute by car to the CBD every weekday and it takes between 35-45 min each way, and that’s door to door. With the Centenary Hwy duplication, it may be even quicker.”

“A year ago we moved over from New Zealand. Out of the hundreds of overwhelming Suburbs to choose from we narrowed it right down to Springfield lakes. One main factor was that we didn’t want to be anywhere near the City but wanted ample amenities that allowed us to do so. We were advised that Springfield Lakes was a part of a grand masterplan for Ipswich.
