Property values are driven by the balance between Supply and Demand.  One thing that impacts on Supply is the availability of land for new housing.

This episode explores where the greatest volume of future land supply throughout Greater Brisbane is, how land sizes in various council regions have changed over time, and what changes there have been in land values over the last 10 years in Greater Brisbane regions.

Because the land component of an asset is the part that appreciates in value, this episode provides some brilliant insights into what might be driving capital growth in various council regions across Greater Brisbane.

Not all land throughout Greater Brisbane is created equally, as you will learn by tuning in to this episode.

This is a special episode in which we take a deep dive into how Brisbane became the City that it is today.  We take a step back in time and uncover how the typical block sizes came to be in Brisbane and why the residential landscape is so different in Brisbane, compared to Sydney and Melbourne.

Home Buyers and Property Investors in Brisbane have been quietly enjoying lots of equity uplift through the strategy of buying an older property close to its land value, demolishing it, and then re-building a home on the same site.  We refer to this as a "knock-down & re-build strategy."

We had some recent media exposure highlighting the top 6 suburbs where this strategy works in Brisbane.  Off the back of this, we wanted to share the way to go about actually completing a project like this in Brisbane.  Whether you are a Home Buyer or a Property Investor ... this could be a strategy to consider.

This is not a strategy for everyone, and the areas where something could go wrong are discussed.  However when selecting the right location and working with a professional team ... the results can be truly amazing!
