Brisbane's property market is poised for notable growth in 2025. SQM Research anticipates a 9% to 14% increase in home prices, translating to a median dwelling price rise between $77,000 and $120,000. This surge is driven by strong population growth and limited housing supply.
KPMG forecasts a 3.1% rise in Brisbane house prices for 2025, with a more substantial 5.6% increase in 2026. Unit prices are expected to grow by 4.1% in 2025 and 3.3% in 2026, as affordability concerns make units a more attractive option for buyers.
The upcoming 2032 Brisbane Olympics are spurring significant infrastructure projects, such as the Cross River Rail and Brisbane Metro, enhancing connectivity and boosting property values in adjacent areas.
Suburbs like Samford Valley, Ferny Hills, Shorncliffe and Brighton are gaining attention for their lifestyle appeal and potential for capital growth. Additionally, lower property taxes and entry prices in Queensland are attracting investors and first-home buyers, contributing to the state's strong property performance.
Houses in popular inner-city enclaves like New Farm, Paddington, West End, Ascot, Bulimba and the suburbs surrounding these continue to be in demand. While Apartments across the entire city are still running hot with many first home buyers, downsizers and people with shifting budgets looking at these.
In summary, Brisbane's property market in 2025 is expected to experience solid growth, supported by population increases, infrastructure developments, and favorable investment conditions.
