Brisbane was one of the nation's boom markets in 2024 and likely to do even better this year.   The price data shows that Brisbane delivered a strong performance last year, both with house prices and in particular unit prices – but was third in the capital city growth rankings behind Adelaide and Perth.   Figures from PropTrack and CoreLogic show Brisbane house prices overall were up 10% last year and unit prices around 15%.   In 2025 we expect Brisbane to have another strong year and to overtake those other cities to be the national leader on price growth.   Hotspotting recently completed an analysis of all the major markets across Australia and concluded Brisbane is likely to be the strongest location in the nation for price growth.   Sales activity continues to rise across the Greater Brisbane area, the vacancy rate is well below 1%, rents continue to rise and there is major upward pressure on prices, with listings of properties for sale still close to the lowest ever recorded.   Brisbane is also a standout example of the biggest trend in Australian real estate, the one we call the Rise and Rise of Apartments (a quarterly report we publish in association with national marketing company Nuestar).   More and more buyers of all sorts are opting for attached dwellings rather than houses on land, for myriad reasons including affordability. In the past year, units outperformed houses on price growth in most suburbs across the nation – and in Brisbane this was the case for over 80% of suburbs.   The days when the dominant paradigm of real estate claimed that houses out-perform on capital growth are long passed.    The Brisbane market is underpinned by a range of important factors: population growth boosted by both internal migrants and overseas migrants, a strong underlying economy, big investment in infrastructure projects and major lifestyle factors.   The Brisbane market will receive additional impetus from preparations for the 2032 Olympics, which necessitates major investment in sports venues, transport systems and tourism & hospitality real estate.   The record shows that cities that host the Olympics receive a significant boost to their property markets, but in the years leading up to the event, rather than following the global spectacle of the Games.   All in all, prospects look good for another strong year for Brisbane real estate – and one that's likely to see the city leading the national pack.    

Adrian, a property owner in the Greater Brisbane area, was renting out his home on Booking.com for short-term stays until things took a turn for the worse in April last year. After booking a one-night stay, this tenant moved his family in and is refusing to leave. Adrian told Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Drive, "It's absolutely, totally bizarre." "I actually blame the legal system as much as these bad tenants." "If it weren't for the legal system, the current legal system that refuses to throw them out, then this wouldn't be happening," Adrian continued. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's long been the case that the two most populous states, New South Wales and Victoria, have attracted the highest levels of property investment – just by sheer weight of numbers. But Victoria has lost its spot among the big two of property investment and is now being overtaken by Queensland. Meanwhile, Queensland now leads the nation is overall real estate transactions, including purchases by both home-buyers and investors. This is despite Victoria having a population of 7 million, versus 5.5 million in Queensland. It provides further evidence that investors are deserting Victoria because of the raft of anti-landlord measures from the State Government, with more still to come. And that Queensland is where buyers are all kinds are heading. Analysis of ABS figures shows that, a year ago, 26 per cent of investor loans were for Victoria properties and around 22 per cent for Queensland. More recently, the balance has shifted with Victoria dropping to 23 per cent of investor loans and Queensland continuing to rise. Money.com.au says investors are abandoning Victoria for several reasons, including Victoria's additional taxes on investors, and are flocking to Queensland. Home Loans expert Mansour Soltani says: “Queensland is emerging as the new promised land. It has everything property investors look for including a strong local economy, population growth, expanding regional markets and ongoing infrastructure projects.” Queensland is leading the nation with a 36 per cent year-on-year increase in investor loans, compared with the national average of 21 per cent.  Regional markets such as Townsville, Bundaberg, Rockhampton and Gladstone are offering low entry costs and above-average rental yields. Soltani also says: “Queensland is not only leading investor activity — owner-occupied loans in the state grew by 12 per cent year-on-year, while no other market grew by more than 6 per cent, and New South Wales saw no growth.” Realestate.com.au reports that nearly $40 billion was spent on residential property in Queensland in the past quarter, with the state recording the highest number of home sales in the country in the last three months. Brisbane's median dwelling price has also extended its lead over Melbourne's — climbing to $885,000 in October, while Melbourne sits at $780,000, according to CoreLogic. New figures from digital settlements platform, PEXA, show over 48,000 home sales were finalised across Queensland in the September quarter, with home buyers spending $38 billion — 27 per cent more than the same period a year ago. The postcodes with the highest number of home sales in the three months were found in Toowoomba, the Gold Coast and Mackay. Homebuyers also moved to regional coastal areas such as Bargara near Bundaberg and Urangan in the Hervey Bay region, as well as new housing development areas in Logan City and Ipswich City on the fringes of Greater Brisbane.  

Welcome back to Talk Property to Me! In this episode, my co-host Brad East and I delve into the predicted growth areas in each state in the sub-800k market segment. We use an algorithm that considers historical data, infrastructure spending, supply and demand metrics, quality of schools, and socioeconomic factors to identify these high-growth areas. We start by discussing the importance of school quality in property investment decisions, sharing personal experiences of how it influenced our own property choices. We emphasize the significance of analyzing sub-markets and understanding the demographics and preferences of potential buyers or renters in different price points. Moving on to specific states, we highlight the Barossa Valley in South Australia and Maitland in New South Wales as promising areas for future growth due to their affordability, stable rental increases, and favorable market metrics. In Queensland, Ipswich and Breland Point stand out as potential high-growth areas, while in Victoria, Melton and Brimbank are identified as key locations to watch. We caution against investing in areas with limited data or high days on the market, such as Zuccoli in the Northern Territory. In Western Australia, Cockburn emerges as a potential investment hotspot due to its coastal location and affordability, despite concerns about long-term growth sustainability. Throughout the episode, we stress the importance of thorough research and due diligence when selecting investment properties, advising listeners to focus on location, lifestyle amenities, and market demand. We conclude by encouraging listeners to invest where people want to live, rather than solely focusing on tax benefits or short-term gains. Join us on the next episode of Talk Property to Me as we continue to explore the dynamic world of property investment and share valuable insights to help you make informed decisions in the real estate market.

Home builders and property developers make their money creating new dwellings for Australian households. If they get it right, they can make lots of money doing what they do. When they decide NOT to do what they do, you have to ask why. Why are the builders of major projects of housing or apartments walking away from their plans? Why are big companies who have spent years and millions of dollars planning a major project making the decision not to build it? We've seen many instances recently. An example is the decision by AVJennings to abandon a major housing development near Caboolture in the outer northern suburbs of Greater Brisbane. This project would have added 3,500 new homes to a market where there is a desperate shortage. Brisbane is a market with high demand and a serious shortage of homes. Why would a big developer with a proven track record and the capacity to deliver these kinds of projects make the very big decision to walk away from the project? All that time and money wasted. The answer is: it's simply not viable. AVJennings said massive cost escalations – including the infrastructure charges and delays in getting approvals imposed by local councils – meant the project was no longer viable. I have had discussions recently with developers who say that the cost of creating big residential projects is so high, it's not economically and financially feasible. They would have to place such a high price on the end product that few households would be able to afford to buy the homes. A number of developers have spoken out about the impact that the cost impositions of local councils have on making projects difficult or unviable. Orchard Property Group managing director Brent Hailey says the major infrastructure costs imposed on them make it too expensive for them to build homes. Hailey said that, for example, developers in that Caboolture West precinct that AV Jennings has rejected had to pay for council infrastructure charges and also state government charges because it's in a Priority Development Area. Hailey says: “We're at this point now in SEQ where unless the solutions are put in place quickly, there's going to be a rapid decline in affordability, forced by supply not meeting demand.” He says: “The problem facing developers is the cost of delivering the infrastructure and the balance between fully servicing those costs and trying to get an affordable home. There's the normal council charges and the Priority Development Area (PDA) charges. During Covid-19 costs went through the roof, so now infrastructure is costing a lot more.” Here's another issue which is preventing the creation of affordable homes in Australia. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's pledge to build 40,000 affordable homes through the Government's $10bn housing fund will struggle to deliver any houses at all in Labor's first term of office because only a handful of builders in Australia are eligible to participate in the program. Rules written into the Housing Australia Future Fund legislation require builders contracted to work on new social and affordable homes under the scheme to be accredited for working on government-funded projects. However, of the more than 400,000 construction companies registered in Australia, only around 500 are accredited by the Federal Safety Commissioner under the Work Health and Safety Scheme for eligibility to bid for head contracts funded directly or indirectly by the government. There are few if any residential builders accredited under the scheme in Tasmania and only a limited number in regional Australia. The industry claims the limitation threatens to severely hamper or stall Housing Australia's ability to deliver its target of 40,000 social and affordable homes. This comes at a time when the new construction code being imposed by governments is adding $30,000 to $40,000 to the already-high cost of building new homes in Australia. These are just the latest events adding to a substantial list of situations which create the inevitable conclusion that we have a serious housing shortage in Australia, and very expensive new homes in this country, because of the short-sighted policies of politicians at all levels of government.

We're constantly asked at Hotspotting whether it's better to invest in the regions or the capital cities – and whether you get higher capital growth in the outer-ring suburbs of our cities or the so-called prime inner-city locations. Now, there's no definitive answer to questions like that, because there are so many different scenarios to consider – and, at the end of the day, it comes down to the performance of individual local markets and you simply cannot generalise. But, based on the evidence of where the highest capital growth has occurred in the past four years, I would have to say the best performers have been found in regional areas and the outer-ring precincts of capital cities – NOT including Sydney or Melbourne. PropTrack, which is Hotspotting's preferred source of property data, has analysed capital growth since March 2020 – which is when the Covid lockdowns started to happen.It shows that home prices have increased 40% in the four years since. But the growth in the combined regional areas has been 54%, compared with 35% in the combined capital cities. So there's your first answer: based on this evidence, the regions have out-performed the cities  overall. When you divide Australia into the 15 major jurisdictions (eight capital cities and seven state or territory regional areas), the top two areas are regional and six of the top nine are regional precincts. Regional Queensland ranks No.1, with home values up 66.5%, followed by Regional South Australia, up 66.2%. The next on the list are Adelaide in third place, Brisbane fourth and Perth fifth. Then, in order, come Regional WA, Regional Tasmania, Regional NSW, Regional Victoria and, in 10th place, the ACT. You'll note that those are the top 10 on the list of 15 jurisdictions, and Sydney and Melbourne haven't featured yet. Sydney ranks 12th out of the 15 and Melbourne ranks 14th – or second last. So there's a fairly emphatic answer: the regions have undoubtedly out-performed the cities – and the best performers among the cities don't include the two biggest ones. Adelaide home prices increased 64% and Brisbane 63%, to be the strongest capital cities on capital growth over four years, compared with 35% in Sydney and just 17% in Melbourne. When PropTrack looked at the individual locations within the regions and the cities, the Top 10 list of locations for capital growth in the past four years comprised regional centres and the outer ring areas of capital cities. The Wide Bay region of Queensland was the top individual area on price performance, with values up 80% in four years. This notable growth region includes regional centres like Hervey Bay, Bundaberg, Gympie and Kingaroy – all places which have featured in recent years in our Hotspots reports. Next was Ipswich City, in the outer south-west of Greater Brisbane, followed by the Outer North of Greater Adelaide – both up by more than 75%. At Hotspotting, we have strongly advocated Ipswich and northern Adelaide LGAs like Salisbury, Playford and Gawler in the past several years. Fourth on the list was the Gold Coast, which rose 74% in the four years. It's notable that 9 of the 10 locations on the national top 10 list are in Queensland and South Australia. And here's a final thought. What I've just described is what's happened in the past four years. There's no guarantee the same will happen in the next four years. As we often tell people, the past does NOT inform the future. But it's worth noting that, based on the metrics we use at Hotspotting, we do expect Brisbane, Regional Queensland and Adelaide to be among the best performers on price in the next year or so.

The Greater Brisbane market has gone to another level with its recent recovery, following a major surge in the number of suburbs with positive rankings. We've just completed our latest quarterly survey of sales activity for Brisbane and it reveals that there are now 83 suburbs ranked as rising markets, compared with 38 three months ago and just 12 six months ago.  It's the highest number since mid-2022. This represents a notable turnaround from the situation recorded in our Winter 2023 survey six months ago. Now 36% of suburbs are rising markets (compared with just 5% six months ago) and 85% overall have positive rankings (compared with 21% six months ago). Six months ago in our Winter 2023 survey we commented that, then, it was the worst Brisbane market we have recorded in the eight years of our quarterly surveys of sales activity.  But the Spring 2023 survey three months ago recorded the start of a major revival.  And now our new quarterly survey shows further uplift in the Brisbane market. Now 85% of Greater Brisbane suburbs have positive rankings and the number of suburbs with negative assessments has dropped in six months from 181 to just 34.  There are now no suburbs classified as declining markets, compared with 71 declining suburbs six months ago. This is a truly dramatic turnaround in the Brisbane market. All sectors of the Greater Brisbane market are performing, with the Brisbane-inner precinct emerging increasingly as a leader. All but two of the 23 suburbs in our survey have positive classifications, including 11 ranked as rising markets. This reflects a trend evident in all the major cities of Australia, with more buyers opting for apartments in inner-city locations.  The Brisbane-north precinct is pumping strongly: 35 of the 41 suburbs in our analysis have positive rankings, including 20 rising suburbs – suburbs such as Brighton; Bridgeman Downs; Nundah; and Wavell Heights. Neighbouring Moreton Bay region is equally busy: 36 of the 41 suburbs have positive classifications, including 15 rising suburbs. The Brisbane-east precinct has some notable examples of the revival trend, including Bulimba; Cannon Hill; and Manly West. Overall, 15 of the 20 Brisbane-east precinct suburbs have positive numbers. This trend is repeated throughout all the sectors of the Greater Brisbane market, including Logan City in the south, Ipswich City in the south-west and Redland City in the south-east. Overall, the results depict a Brisbane market which has recovered emphatically from the previous downturn and which now presents as a booming market.

Welcome to the latest episode of the Brisbane Property Podcast with hosts Melinda and Scott Jennison! In this episode, we dive into the recent market update for the Brisbane property market, highlighting key trends and insights that buyers, sellers, and investors need to know. After a period of modest growth, the May data reveals a significant spike in property values across Brisbane. This surge shouldn't come as a surprise, as low inventory levels and growing demand have been contributing factors. With fewer properties available for sale and increasing competition, buyers who have been searching for a while are starting to feel the pressure. The availability of properties varies across different suburbs in Brisbane. Some areas, such as Clayfield, Petrie, and Kangaroo Point, have experienced significant decreases in new listings. On the other hand, suburbs like Aspley, Greenbank, and Jimboomba have seen listing volumes increase over the past year. It's important to understand that not all locations in Brisbane follow the same trend, as local dynamics can influence market performance. The heightened competition in the market has led to properties selling quickly. Days on market have been trending lower, and it's becoming common for properties listed for sale to receive multiple offers after the first open home. Buyers need to be well-prepared, and ensure that they complete their thorough due diligence, pricing analysis, and have financing arrangements in place to make quick offers. Demand for Brisbane properties is coming from local, interstate, and overseas buyers. Many individuals from other states are seeking a more affordable, warm, and laid-back lifestyle in Brisbane. Additionally, Brisbane is one of the top regions searched by international buyers from countries like the United Kingdom, United States, China, Hong Kong, New Zealand, and Singapore. The city's attractiveness as a destination for skilled migration further contributes to its demand. Auction activity in Brisbane has increased, with a higher number of registered bidders and more active bidding during May. While auction clearance rates slightly decreased, it may be attributed to seller expectations being ahead of the market's pace. Dwelling values in Brisbane experienced a significant jump of 1.4% in May, with quarterly growth now at 1.8%. This growth was observed across all segments of the market, with the most rapid recovery in property prices seen in the higher-priced quarter. House values in Brisbane grew by 1.5% in May, representing a substantial increase compared to the previous month. PropTrack data confirms the price growth trend in Brisbane houses. Units across Greater Brisbane also saw positive growth, with a 1.1% increase in May. The unit market continues to outperform the housing market in terms of growth indicators. The rental market in Brisbane remains tight, with vacancy rates at 1% for all dwellings and lower rates for units (0.7%) compared to houses (1.3%). This tightening is a result of reduced rental property supply and increased demand due to interstate migration and the reopening of international borders. Rents have continued to rise, with unit rents growing by 16.4% and house rents by 9.4% over the past 12 months. Despite some uncertainty surrounding interest rates, buyer confidence has regained momentum, especially in inner-city and middle-ring locations. Forced selling due to mortgage arrears remains minimal, and low unemployment rates provide stability to the market. The fundamental mismatch between supply and demand will likely continue to support price growth   Connect with Us: Subscribe on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW30uBCnHQ2YllnwGKHNfxg Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5tODCtY54iQrxadNqqmevs 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!

New South Wales has recorded 65 new community cases of Covid-19, with 28 of those cases infectious while in the community.Of today's new cases, 40 are linked to a known case or cluster – 27 are household contacts and 13 are close contacts – and the source of infection for 25 cases remains under investigation.Sydney's outbreak now stands at a total of 929 infections.There are currently 73 cases admitted to hospital, with 19 people in intensive care, five of whom require ventilation.NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said while the drop in numbers was welcome, there was still concern about the 28 people infectious in the community."That is the critical number that we need to watch in the days ahead. We need to get that 28 number as close to zero as possible," she said.Questioned why NSW wasn't imposing tighter restrictions given the number of people infectious in the community, Berejiklian said the state's rules were based on health advice."We took the action we did when we did to avert [a] medical and health disaster. We stick by our decisions because they are based on the best health advice," she said.Berejiklian was then asked to confirm that Greater Sydney wouldn't still be in lockdown into August but demurred."I wish I had a crystal ball," she said. "I wish I knew where we would be in two weeks' time."New cases in QueenslandQueensland also today recorded three new community cases of Covid-19. Two of the three cases recently completed hotel quarantine in Sydney. The third is a fully vaccinated international airport worker.In response to the new cases, the mandatory mask rule for the Greater Brisbane area will be extended for another week after restrictions were set to ease tomorrow."I know people will be disappointed by that. I am disappointed by that," Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said. "But what we are seeing is that these outbreaks are happening across the country."The vaccinated airport worker is a woman in her 40s who works at Brisbane International Airport. She has received her full dose of the Pfizer vaccine and became unwell on July 13. She got tested the following day and returned a positive result."We are treating that as three cases in the community and we are a little bit concerned about that," Palaszczuk said.Queensland's Deputy Premier Steven Miles placed the blame for the other two cases on Sydney's hotel quarantine system, saying "it does appear that virus again has escaped either Sydney or the hotel quarantine system".Miles said the extension of the mask mandate was "the right decision, based on the best possible advice. The fact is an extra week of masks is better than a lockdown. That is what we are trying to avoid."'Dynamic situation' in VictoriaMelburnians are anxiously waiting to see if they will be plunged into yet another lockdown, as the state government weighs fresh restrictions amid a worrying rise in Covid-19 cases brought in from NSW.Victoria's testing commander Jeron Weimar said today the state was dealing with "two separate incursions into Victoria over the last three or four days, two chains of transmission" as Melbourne's outbreak grew to 16.Five cases are linked to an outbreak the city of Hume, made up of four family members and one other contact after the family returned from a red zone and were not isolating.The state's other cases are linked to Covid-positive Sydney removalists who worked at Melbourne's Ariele apartment complex while unknowingly infectious. There are 680 close contacts linked to that cluster, with 104 of those returning a negative result so far.A list of exposure sites has been updated and includes the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) after a Covid-positive man visited the stadium on July 10. Three positive cases are now linked to the MCG."You will appreciate we're dealing with a very dynamic situation here, a very rapidly moving situation here," Weimar said.Sydney's lockdown extension won't halt outbreak - expertThe two-week extension of Grea...

It is market update time again and in this Episode of the Brisbane Property Podcast and we are discussing what has been happening in June throughout Brisbane. Brisbane is now one of the Top Ten Most Livable Cities in the World and we discuss some of the reasons why. We also cover ways we can measure demand and compare online indexes with what we are seeing anecdotally by being out on the ground every weekend throughout Brisbane. As always, we discuss the data and what we are seeing in terms of median price growth across both houses and units and we provide a comprehensive update on the rental market including current vacancy rates by region throughout Greater Brisbane. We hope you enjoy the statistics once again.   Learn more about your hosts, Scott and Melinda Jennison, at www.streamlineproperty.com.au

This week's episode focuses on the median price changes at a suburb level in Brisbane over the last 12 months. We dissect the Brisbane Housing Market and name some of the underperforming suburbs over the last 12 months and then disclose the suburbs that have experienced the highest levels of growth throughout Greater Brisbane. Because this episode is based on data only, we also provide some insights into why this information must be interpreted with caution. Many buyers rely solely on data to make investment decisions, however, we discuss why caution needs to be exercised if this is an individual's approach. Can you guess which suburb has seen the greatest growth in housing values over the last 12 months? Tune in to find out more.

A woman who tested positive for the highly contagious strain of COVID-19 was able to leave quarantine at Brisbane's Hotel Grand Chancellor to go to hospital with her father, The Courier-Mail has revealed.The newspaper reports an ambulance was called to the hotel on Monday night for the man, aged in his 40s, following a medical complaint.He was reportedly accompanied to the Royal Brisbane Hospital by his daughter, a woman aged in her 20s.She is believed to have come into contact with a number of people outside the quarantine bubble and reportedly did not return to the hotel via Queensland Ambulance Service transport.The pair had been tested but returned positive results after the alleged breach of the quarantine system on January 11.The Courier-Mail reports she was not knowingly at fault.In a statement, Queensland Health said:"Queensland Health is aware of an article regarding an alleged COVID-19 quarantine breach."We are concerned some early reporting has misrepresented this situation and it's important people understand the facts."In circumstances where a person accompanies a relative to hospital for medical treatment, full PPE and safety guidelines are followed. This occurs even if a patient is being transported for non-COVID related medical issues."Quarantine guests are transported to and from the hospital by Queensland Ambulance Service, who have been safely transporting hotel quarantine guests for almost a year."All protocols were followed in this case. Guests were transported from and returned to the hotel by Qld Ambulance Service while in appropriate PPE. The suggestion the person caught a ride-share back to the hotel is untrue. Full and proper COVID-19 PPE protocols were followed while these guests were in the hospital."We have successfully managed the quarantine of over 100,000 people in Queensland, and have not had a single case because of the movement of these people."According to Queensland Health, the six cases in the hotel cluster include a man in his 30s and his female partner in her 30s who both arrived from the UK on December 30, a female hotel cleaner in her 20s and her male partner in his 20s, and the father and daughter who arrived from Lebanon on January 1.The guests to test positive were all in quarantine on the seventh floor.Greater Brisbane's three-day lockdown, sparked after the cleaner tested positive for the UK coronavirus strain, lifted at 6pm on Monday.
