Brisbane Housing Market in 2025: Trends, Insights, and Opportunities
Updated: 1 month ago

Brisbane’s housing market has been one of the strongest performers in Australia over the past few years. Driven by population growth, major infrastructure projects, and strong rental demand, Brisbane continues to attract both first-home buyers and investors looking for long-term gains.
As we move through 2025, let’s look at what’s shaping Brisbane’s property market and where the opportunities lie.
1. House Prices on the Rise
Brisbane has outpaced Sydney and Melbourne in terms of percentage growth since 2020. While the broader Australian market has shown signs of stabilisation, Brisbane is still experiencing steady growth, especially in suburbs with new infrastructure and lifestyle appeal.
Median house price (2025): Around $850,000+ (up significantly from five years ago).
Units & apartments: More affordable, with strong demand from both local downsizers and interstate investors.
2. Population Growth and Migration
Queensland continues to see record interstate migration, with families and professionals moving from southern states in search of affordability, lifestyle, and opportunity. The 2032 Brisbane Olympics has also created confidence in the city’s long-term economic and housing outlook.
3. Rental Market Tightness
Brisbane’s rental market is among the tightest in the country. Vacancy rates remain below 1%, and rents are climbing rapidly, especially in the inner and middle-ring suburbs. For investors, this means:
*High rental yields compared to Sydney and Melbourne.
*Long-term tenant demand supported by population growth.
4. Infrastructure and Development Driving Growth
Billions of dollars are being invested into Brisbane’s infrastructure, reshaping the city and boosting property values in key areas. Major projects include:
Cross River Rail
Brisbane Metro
Queen’s Wharf development
Olympic-related infrastructure
Suburbs around these projects are seeing heightened buyer interest and price growth.
5. Suburb Hotspots in 2025
Brisbane’s growth is not uniform—some suburbs are outperforming due to lifestyle, transport, and affordability. Key areas to watch include:
Ipswich & Ripley Valley: Strong growth corridor with new estates and affordability.
Logan & Beenleigh: Investor interest due to transport links and entry-level pricing.
North Brisbane (Redcliffe, Petrie, Moreton Bay): Benefiting from university hubs and coastal lifestyle appeal.
Inner-city precincts (Woolloongabba, West End, Fortitude Valley): Driven by Olympics and urban renewal projects.
6. Challenges in the Market
While the outlook is strong, there are challenges buyers should be aware of:
Construction costs remain elevated, slowing down supply of new homes.
Affordability pressures are growing as prices rise.
Competition from interstate and international buyers is increasing.
7. Opportunities for Buyers and Investors
Despite rising prices, Brisbane remains more affordable than Sydney and Melbourne, while offering stronger rental yields. This balance makes it attractive for:
First-home buyers: Entering the market in outer-ring suburbs and growth corridors.
Investors: Seeking long-term capital gains plus strong rental returns.
Developers & builders: Capitalising on supply shortages and buyer demand.
Final Thoughts
The Brisbane housing market in 2025 is a story of growth, opportunity, and transformation. With population inflows, infrastructure investment, and the Olympics on the horizon, Brisbane is cementing itself as Australia’s next property powerhouse.
