It is Market Update time again and this month, as usual, we take a deep dive into the data for Brisbane to provide the most up-to-date information in relation to Brisbane property. 

We are starting to see Brisbane diverge from the national trend and this is something that we delve into in this episode.

We provide the very latest price growth for Brisbane Houses and Brisbane Units and discuss how the performance is different for different types of products.  We also highlight where rental price growth has been the strongest through the city over the last 12 months and what types of properties have not performed as well in terms of rent growth.

Finally, we discuss the relevance of lockdowns through other parts of Australia and what impact that may or may not have on the Brisbane market in the future.  We hope you enjoy the data once again!

We are thrilled to welcome award-winning auctioneer, Justin Nickerson from Apollo auctions, to the show today.  This is a bumper episode that includes a new perspective on the Brisbane Property Market.

Justin loves data too and he tracks a lot of auction-specific indicators within Brisbane.  Some of this data includes the average number of registered bidders per auction, the percentage of active bidders per auction, the percentage of opening bidders who end up buying the property, and the percentage above the reserve price that properties end up selling for.

In this episode, we discuss the changes that have been seen in some of these indicators over the last 12 months and what these changes mean in relation to current market conditions.
Justin also shares some beneficial tips for people preparing to bid at auction and highlights some of the mistakes that buyers make on auction day.  Don't miss this episode... there is something for everyone to take away.

Brisbane houses are quite different in the inner city suburbs because of the way they were built in the 1800s and early 1900s.  Our Traditional Character Homes are often the most sought after type of property in the Blue chip locations of our city.  Many of these homes have identifiable features that tell a story from the past and this is what we discuss in this episode.

If you have an interest in the history of a home in Brisbane it is possible to find out a lot of information about when the home was built, who the builder and architect might have been and how the home might have changed over the decades since it was initially constructed.  You might also be able to find out who else has lived in your home in the past.

If you are wondering how to do this, tune into this episode for what you need to know.

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.
