Brisbane Property Market Trends

Rental markets are tight, with annual rent rises of 6.0% for houses and 6.9% for units. Gross rental yields sit at 3.4% for dwellings, supported by ongoing investor interest.

Brisbane Property Market Forecast

Brisbane is expected to remain one of the nation’s more resilient housing markets in 2026. Strong population flows, limited supply and healthy investor activity will continue to support values. Affordability challenges and interest-rate settings may temper the pace of growth, but these factors are unlikely to outweigh the city’s structural demand strength. Growth is projected to moderate rather than reverse.

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.
