Brisbane Property Podcast

This is our last Episode for 2020, and we are wrapping up the year with a Brisbane Property Market Update to take a look back at the year that was and also how the Brisbane Property Market has performed.

We can definitely look back at 2020 and reflect on a year that was so different for all of us.  But in terms of the Brisbane Property Market performance, the year was actually a lot better than what some predicted during the worst of the pandemic.

We take a deep dive into the housing market, units and townhouses and also vacant land price performance to get a better understanding of which areas have performed better than others within Greater Brisbane.

To all our listeners, thank you for supporting us throughout 2020.  We wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.

How do you find out which suburbs are the most "in demand" locations in Brisbane?  In today's episode, we help you understand this and we reveal which locations make up the top ten most in demand suburbs right now in our great city.

We also discuss what these top ten suburbs have in common and what this means in terms of which demographic group have been the most active in the market over the last 12 months.

The most common method of sale in Brisbane is by Private Treaty, and in this episode we discuss what you can do as a buyer to ensure your offer is competitive.  In different market conditions, a private treaty sale process can vary greatly.  We discuss the differences between buying in a seller's market, versus a buyer's market and what you need to do to be prepared.

We also discuss the other methods of sale in Brisbane including off-market real estate transactions, auctions and a sale process by tender.  For each of these the process is discussed and we provide useful tips for property buyers in relation to moving ahead with aggressive offers during each type of campaign.

If you are a buyer in Brisbane right now this information will be very relevant!

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.
