EP 295 Brisbane Property Market Update February 2026

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +1000

Brisbane continues to show strength in 2026, but what’s really driving the market right now and what could slow it down?

In this February market update, we break down the latest data across houses and units, where price growth is happening, and why the sub-$1M market is seeing the most pressure. We also unpack what’s happening beneath the surface, including tight supply, increased competition, and the growing presence of both investors and first home buyers.

Beyond the numbers, we discuss the key factors that could influence the months ahead from global uncertainty and interest rates through to potential changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax. While these headlines create noise, we bring it back to what matters most: how supply, demand, and buyer behaviour are shaping outcomes here in Brisbane.

If you’re trying to understand whether now is the right time to act, or how to position yourself in a competitive market, this episode will help you cut through the uncertainty and focus on what actually matters.

EP 294 Brisbane City Council's Housing Shake-Up

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 12:40:26 +1000

Brisbane City Council has proposed changes to low–medium density (LMR) zoning, and these updates could influence how Brisbane grows in the years ahead. In this episode of the Brisbane Property Podcast, Scott and Melinda Jennison explain what these proposed planning changes involve and what they could mean for housing supply, development opportunities, and the future shape of many suburbs across the city.

They also break down the trade-offs between increasing density and protecting the character that makes Brisbane unique.

In this episode you’ll learn:

What LMR (Low–Medium Density Residential) zoning means in Brisbane
Why the “missing middle” has become a key housing discussion
How proposed height increases could allow three to four storey developments
Potential changes to subdivision rules and lot sizes
Why car parking requirements are being reconsidered
How these changes may affect housing supply and affordability
What the consultation timeline looks like and how residents can have their say

Whether you’re a homeowner, investor, or planning to buy in Brisbane, understanding these proposed changes could help you see where the city may evolve in the coming years.

This episode is an important consumer warning for home buyers and property investors.

Not all buyer’s agents are operating within the scope of their license, and some are providing property, financial, or investment advice they are not legally qualified to give. This can expose buyers to serious financial risk, compliance issues, and costly mistakes.

You’ll learn:

What a buyer’s agent is legally allowed (and not allowed) to do
How licensing works across Australian states — and where loopholes exist
Why some buyer’s agents are operating interstate without proper local licenses
The dangers of buyers agents giving financial, tax, or investment structure advice
Real examples of consumers being impacted by poor or non-compliant advice
The key questions every buyer should ask before engaging a buyer’s agent

This episode is shared as a community awareness piece to help Australians make more informed, confident, and legally compliant property decisions.

EP 282 - Brisbane Property Market Update September 2025

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 08:00:00 +1000

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.

In September, Brisbane's property market continued to exhibit remarkable strength.

Our episode won't be complete without shining a light on the rental market in Brisbane. Vacancy rates have consistently remained low, dropping from 1% in July to 0.9% in August and back up to 1% in September. However, we'll explore the intriguing phenomenon of rental price growth slowing down, as houses recorded an annual increase of 6.4%, down from 11.2% earlier this year. Meanwhile, unit rents have shown a robust rise of 14% over the past year.

As we step into October, our episode forecasts the Brisbane property market's future heights in the coming weeks. We'll discuss the ongoing rapid rise in prices and the fierce competition among buyers, emphasizing the need for quick transactions. For sellers, this could be the perfect time to list, with a multitude of eager buyers actively contributing to the upward pressure on prices.

EP 165 - Brisbane Property Market Update - July 2023

Thu, 20 Jul 2023 06:00:00 +1000

In this episode of the Brisbane Property Podcast with hosts Melinda and Scott, we provide another concise Brisbane Property Market Update.

Brisbane property prices continue to rise for the fourth month in a row, led by detached houses outpacing unit market growth. Despite interest rate hikes and school holidays, the market remains strong, with buyers showing resilience.

Auction numbers remained stable, with a slight increase in registered bidders making bids.
Supply remains low, making it challenging for buyers to find properties to purchase.
Sellers are hesitant due to a lack of confidence in finding another property and a tight rental market.

Buyers are making compromises based on affordability, with Brisbane remaining affordable compared to other capitals. Brisbane dwelling values and house prices have increased consistently, while unit values reached a record high.

The rental market remains strong, with international demand and rising rents. The Brisbane market is resilient, and further price falls are unlikely.

EP 161 - Brisbane Property Market Update - June 2023

Thu, 22 Jun 2023 06:00:00 +1000

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

EP 72 - What does your money buy in the Brisbane Property Market

Thu, 23 Sep 2021 09:00:00 +1000

We get a lot of enquiry from property buyers wanting to understand what they can afford to buy in Brisbane, so we decided to create an episode on property prices around the city. We have focussed on the Brisbane City Council region and have selected 15 Brisbane suburbs that sit along the train network lines.

In this episode we will share the median price changes in these suburbs over the last 3 months to help you understand property values a little more, and also to highlight the changes that have occurred in property values in recent months.

There is a big disclaimer at the start of this episode, because we are reporting on median values, and we highlight the importance of understanding how a median value is determined and how compositional bias and low sales volumes can impact this data. This is critical for all listeners to understand. We never recommend making purchasing decisions off changes in median data trends alone.

We hope this episode adds some value to those looking to understand more about property values in the Brisbane City council region and the recent price growth changes that have occurred over the last 3 months in these locations.

EP60 - Understanding the Market Frenzy in Brisbane

Thu, 01 Jul 2021 09:00:00 +1000

The residential market in Brisbane has been in a rapid period of growth in months. Prices are escalating every week and with buyers who have been missing out, we are seeing that they are becoming even more eager to secure a property with every week that passes by.

Buyers are even taking big risks just so that their offers are competitive. We are seeing buyers dropping out the finance clause and even eliminating the condition that allows them the security of a post-purchase building and pest inspection.

This leads to the question … how long is this buyer frenzy likely to continue and when might the Brisbane Property Market start to slow down? This is what we cover in this episode.

Ep 31 - Unpacking Areas in Greater Brisbane

Thu, 26 Nov 2020 17:53:12 +1000

Often people refer to Brisbane as one property market, but we all know this simply is not true. Brisbane is made up of a number of different council regions, each with very different property market drivers.

Today's episode explores each of the council regions that make up Greater Brisbane. We unpack the median value in each region as well as each region's historical capital growth performance. We also project forward to look at future land and building supply in each region to understand more about the potential for future supply and how that is likely to impact on future growth performance.

If you are a property investor who is considering Brisbane, and especially if you don't understand Brisbane as we do, then this episode is essential listening.

Ep 10 - Depreciation in Brisbane Properties - with Special Guest Mike Mortlock

Thu, 02 Jul 2020 10:32:16 +1000

Being the end of another financial year, we thought it was timely to discuss one way property investors can maximise their tax benefits through property investing. Our Guest, Mike Mortlock, is Managing Director of MCG Quantity Surveyors and together we highlight what is depreciation, why it needs to be considered and what benefits are available to property investors through depreciation when they complete their annual tax return.

Mike shares some valuable guidance on the types of renovation work that delivers maximum depreciation benefits - especially in Queenslander style properties that are so typical in Brisbane.

We also cover why investors should NOT select their investment solely based on maximising their depreciation benefits, providing real data examples of Brisbane property performance for those dwellings that would have delivered strong depreciation benefits over the last 10 years (compared with the capital growth performance of those properties).

If you want to learn more about depreciation and how it can be used strategically when investing in property to maximise your returns, then this is the episode for you!

Ep 3 - What Features Do Brisbane Tenants Want In An A-Grade Investment Property?

Thu, 14 May 2020 16:53:38 +1000

The way we live in Brisbane, and the style of our properties, is quite different to other areas around Australia. We get it ... Brisbane is Hot and Humid ... so how does this impact what features are most desirable for a Tenant?

This Episode is for Property Investors who are considering purchasing an Investment Property or who already own an Investment Property in Brisbane.

We welcome our very special guest, Teliah Furner, who is a Buyer's Agent with Streamline Property Buyers, but who also has years of Property Management experience here in Brisbane. Teliah shares some great tips on how you can ensure the features in your Investment Property appeal to the largest potential Tenant market.

You may wonder why we need to take a deep dive into this. Isn't Property Investing all about the location and not the property itself?

Well the answer is simple! When you own an Investment Property in an Investment Grade location, that also has the most desirable features, your property is more likely to attract a quality tenant who will stay longer ... and this means better security of income for you as an Investor!
