[Buying a property in Australia] Brisbane's property market is hot! Ready to seize the opportunity?

Attention all families who are planning to immigrate to Australia or study in Australia, the real estate market in Brisbane is experiencing amazing growth! According to the latest statistics, house prices in many popular areas of Brisbane have increased by as much as 30% in the past year, far exceeding the average growth rate of 5.9% in other major cities in Australia. Whether you are a homeowner considering selling your property or a buyer looking for high-value-added areas, now is the golden time to pay attention to the market. Australian property investors must pay close attention and don’t miss the good opportunity to increase asset value!

The reason why Brisbane’s real estate market has become the focus of the whole country is mainly due to the rapid growth of property demand and insufficient supply. Here are the key reasons driving Brisbane’s house price surge:

Infrastructure upgrade drives value-added

Brisbane is undergoing a series of major infrastructure upgrades in conjunction with the 2032 Olympics. Among them, the new Cross River Rail railway line connects the north and south areas of Brisbane, shortening commuting time and attracting more buyers to choose areas close to the station. In addition, Ferny Grove Central, a large-scale integrated commercial project in the northern suburbs, which is expected to be completed in 2026, will include retail, dining and entertainment facilities, and is expected to increase house prices in the northern region by an additional 10%-15%. The 2032 Brisbane Olympics will also accelerate the overall upgrade of infrastructure, leading to a simultaneous surge in residential demand in the city center CBD and suburbs. The growth trend of the rental and primary and secondary markets is expected to continue in the long term.

Demand outstrips supply

Brisbane has the highest population growth rate in Australia, with more than 50,000 new residents each year, including a large number of domestic families and overseas migrants. The rapid population growth has directly pushed up the demand for housing, especially in areas with prestigious schools and convenient transportation. According to data for the end of 2024, Brisbane’s house listings fell by 17%, while buyer demand rose by almost 19%. Coupled with the new first-time homebuyer tax exemption policy that will be implemented in May 2025, the imbalance between supply and demand will lead to intensified competition, with properties in many areas being sold out within a short period of time after being listed.

According to the latest data from Domain, an authoritative real estate platform in Australia, it is expected that by 2025, the price growth of stratified units in major Australian cities will exceed that of detached houses. Nicola Powell, head of economics and research at Domain, pointed out that this trend will bring new trends to the real estate market, especially for new buyers who are interested in buying a home, because the prices of stratified units (Apartments) and garden villas (Townhouses) are still relatively attractive to buyers.

Powell noted: “Historically, former houses have generally outperformed strata units in terms of capital growth. However, nothing is absolute and by 2025, we expect strata units in Brisbane, Australia, to outperform houses, which is a rare occurrence.” According to Domain’s year-end summary report, house prices in Brisbane are expected to rise by 5% to 7%, while strata unit prices will rise by 7% to 9%. This makes Brisbane one of the only major cities where strata unit values will grow faster than houses, while strata unit and house values in other cities will grow at similar rates.

Powell analysis points out that this trend will make strata units more attractive for shopping, especially for young buyers to enter the market more convenient. For first-time homebuyers, this will provide opportunities for capital growth and help open their investment path in the real estate market. In contrast, as the price of detached houses continues to rise, the pressure on first-time homebuyers to buy detached houses is gradually increasing. Therefore, it is expected that the growth trend of strata unit values will encourage more people to consider strata units as the first choice for entering the real estate market.

In the past, the Australian real estate market preferred detached houses, reflecting the desire for traditional detached houses and land. However, with the economic pressure and changes in population structure, stratified units have gradually become the mainstream choice. In addition, some buyers have also begun to choose townhouses to replace independent houses with land.
