Brisbane Property Podcast

In today's episode, we discuss why distance from the CBD is not the primary indicator of what suburbs you should target to achieve strong capital growth in Brisbane. We go back in time once again, to help listeners understand how and why Brisbane cannot be compared to Sydney and Melbourne, and we cover how social class distribution has worked in Brisbane over previous years.

We cover the way Brisbane has changed since the mid 1900's, to become the city that it is today.  We also discuss the significant events that caused the population to move into different areas around the city in the years of our recent history. Even major decisions made by previous councils have had an impact on why Brisbane is the city it is today.

For anyone wanting to learn more about the intricacies of identifying a high-growth location - especially here in Brisbane - this episode should not be missed.

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.

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!
