Investors hoping to purchase real estate in Rockhampton might want to consider purchasing units and townhouses in the city, as new figures show this type of property is particularly popular at the moment.
Data from the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) shows unit sales increased 14 per cent across the state in the three months to September when compared to the previous quarter.
This marked a rise of 12 per cent when compared to the same period of last year.

Additional figures show a 21 per cent rise in the number of sales of properties valued in excess of $1 million when compared to the previous three-month period.
