In this episode, Melinda and Scott unpack a big September for Brisbane. You'll hear about: Brisbane's outperformance: Why Brisbane continues to better Sydney and Melbourne on headline dwelling growth, and how unit markets here are the national stand-out. Segment shifts: The lowest quartile led September quarter gains in Brisbane (+3.7% q/q), ahead of the middle (+3.2%) and top end (+2.6%). Supply vs demand reality: Listings are thin while buyer enquiry is strong - we explain why that gap is pushing prices up and where it's most intense. Houses vs units: Houses rose +1.1% in September (Brisbane among the top three capitals for the month); units jumped +1.7% (up from +1.3% in August), +4.7% for the quarter and +12.4% year-on-year. Rental market pulse: Vacancy edged to 1.0% (from 0.9%), but rents re-accelerated — houses +5.4% YoY, units +6.4% YoY. Gross yields: houses 3.4% (steady), units 4.3% (down slightly from 4.4%). Prestige snapshot: Riverfront and blue-chip suburbs remain buoyant as limited premium stock meets downsizer and interstate demand. Practical buyer takeaways: Why trying to “wait it out” can be costly (at a $1m price point, current monthly growth equates to ~$12k), and how local intel helps avoid bidding frenzies and target value.  Get a clear, street-level read on Brisbane right now - where competition is hottest, which segments are driving the gains, and how to position your next move with data and on-the-ground insight rather than headlines.   Connect with Us: Listen on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/brisbane-property-podcast/id1509129258 Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5tODCtY54iQrxadNqqmevs Subscribe on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW30uBCnHQ2YllnwGKHNfxg Streamline Property Buyers Website https://streamlineproperty.com.au/ Ready to work with us directly? https://streamlineproperty.com.au/contact/ If you liked this episode, please don't forget to subscribe, tune in, and share this podcast with others you know will benefit from the information we share!

In this special episode of the Brisbane Property Podcast, Scott and Melinda Jennison unpack the major infrastructure announcements for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games—and what they could mean for Brisbane's property market in the years ahead.   Unlike past Olympic setups, Brisbane is taking a unique approach: most of the venues will be built within a 5km radius of the CBD. This centralised model will significantly reshape inner-city precincts like Victoria Park, Bowen Hills, Spring Hill, and Woolloongabba.   In this episode, you'll learn: Which suburbs are set to benefit from new or upgraded venues How changes in infrastructure may impact supply, demand, and pricing What investors need to consider before jumping into these “Olympic precinct” zones The long-term impact of projects like the Cross River Rail, Brisbane Metro, and the proposed Sunshine Coast rail link Why strategic timing and planning—not speculation—are critical when making property decisions around Olympic-related announcements Melinda shares expert insights into zoning, density constraints, flood risks, and future planning scheme shifts that could influence opportunities in key locations.   If you're an investor or homeowner curious about how the Olympic legacy will shape Brisbane's growth story, this episode is packed with practical guidance to help you make informed, future-focused decisions.   Connect with Us: Subscribe on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW30uBCnHQ2YllnwGKHNfxg Streamline Property Buyers Website https://streamlineproperty.com.au/ Ready to work with us directly? https://streamlineproperty.com.au/contact/   If you liked this episode, please don't forget to subscribe, tune in, and share this podcast with others you know will benefit from the information we share!
