Brisbane Property Market Forecast

Into spring, limited advertised supply and solid buyer sentiment point to further, measured price gains. Affordability advantages versus the pricier capitals and resilient rental demand should underpin conditions, while prudent lending and stretched budgets temper the pace.

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.
