"We have identified 72 locations (across Queensland) with rising sales activity, a remarkable result in the year of the pandemic," the report said.

"Locations across the state are benefiting from the exodus to affordable lifestyle and/or the improvement in the resources sector.

"Vacancies are ultra low in most of these places."

Gympie has been experiencing record low vacancy rates of 2.5 per cent or tighter since 2016. In September 2019, it dropped to the tightest in Queensland, at 0.3 per cent, and has moved up only 0.1 per cent since then.

But a flurry of subdivisions and building activity occurring now in and around Gympie is hoped to loosen the market up this year.

More than 100 building approvals, including 38 new houses, went through council in December, the most of any December in five years.
