Brisbane Property Market – Prices, Trends, Forecast [August 2025]

Brisbane remains one of Australia’s strongest-performing capital city housing markets in 2025. The city continues to attract buyers with a mix of affordability, lifestyle appeal, and tight housing supply. As of July, its housing momentum is outpacing many southern capitals, bolstered by consistent demand and comparatively accessible price points. Brisbane’s current median dwelling value is $834,000, still significantly below Sydney’s, yet it leads most other cities in both short-term and long-term growth.

Brisbane Property Price Growth

In the year to July 2025:

• Brisbane house prices rose 9.8%, making it one of the top-performing markets.
• Unit prices also saw growth, though more subdued, with a 3.6% increase year-on-year.
• This growth is underpinned by constrained supply, population growth, and lifestyle appeal—especially for migrating southerners.

Brisbane’s price growth has outpaced most other capitals, particularly in the detached housing sector, where competition remains strong across many suburbs.

Brisbane Property Market Trends

In the rental market, Brisbane continues to experience firm pressure. Over the past 12 months, house rents rose 2.4%, while unit rents climbed 1.6%, reflecting consistent tenant demand. Gross rental yields for dwellings stand at 3.7%, which is close to the national average and indicative of relatively balanced conditions between pricing and rental returns.

Brisbane’s upward trend is supported by low housing stock and a clear preference for detached housing. New listings remain tight, and building completions have not kept pace with population growth—sustaining momentum in both pricing and rents.

Brisbane Property Market Forecast

Looking forward, Brisbane is well-positioned to maintain modest growth throughout the remainder of 2025. Key factors supporting the outlook include:

• Expectations of lower interest rates, as inflation stabilises near the RBA’s target
• Rising buyer confidence and an ongoing lack of new housing supply
• Regional economic resilience and infrastructure investment continuing to support demand

While affordability constraints may slowly emerge as a challenge, especially for first-home buyers, Brisbane remains more accessible than southern capitals. Growth is likely to remain healthy but sustainable.

The Reserve Bank of Australia’s ongoing adjustments to interest rates will likely play a crucial role in shaping market dynamics, as higher borrowing costs limit purchasing power for many buyers.
