24.01.2022 Another 7 Brisbane suburbs have broken the $1 million dollar mark over the past year, with our city now having 23 suburbs with a median house price of $1 million or more. New million-dollar suburbs include Bardon, Grange, Samford Valley, Clayfield, Ashgrove, Fig Tree Pocket and West End, while Balmoral slipped off the list.

13.01.2022 If you cant afford to buy into the suburb you really want to, it can be a good idea to look at the neighbouring suburbs to see if they have more affordable prices - and potential for growth. There can be potential for these suburbs to grow in value as they gentrify over time, but careful selection of property is always important

13.01.2022 Prices in the Brisbane dwelling market fell by 0.2% over the June quarter, while the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast dwelling markets saw dwelling price increases of 1% and 0.7% respectively, according to CoreLogic. While regional markets have remained fairly resilient, as a capital city Brisbane has been performing steadily. While its hard to say what the market will bring for the remainder of this year, Brisbane has always been a stable city that has the fundamentals, including a big infrastructure pipeline, to see greater growth in years to come

13.01.2022 This plan incorporates Dexus $2.1 billion precinct as well as 1.2 kilometres of waterfront between the city botanic gardens and the Howard Smith Wharves precinct. The Kangaroo Point green bridge is also a major part of the plans, allowing pedestrians and cyclists to move between Kangaroo Point and the city.

Dexus is expected to kick off construction on the Eagle Street Pier development this year

The SEQ suburbs in greatest demand for houses were Nambour, Nundah, Carindale, Surfers Paradise and Mudgeeraba-Tallebudgera

12.01.2022 The Gold Coast light rail project is a key piece of infrastructure in the region. The better connected it is, the better for residents and visitors

11.01.2022 This house won the best new Queensland house for 2020, but it is situated just over the border in NSW! The design maximises the owners connection with nature and the neighbourhood. Challenging the traditional front and rear layout, the house was pushed to the southern edge of the block to allow a large north-facing garden to span the full length of the site. What do you think of this design?

10.01.2022 A medical building is proposed within the Queensland Governments 9.5-hectare Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct development, known as Lumina, part of the 2018 former Commonwealth Games Athletes Village.

08.01.2022 We hope everyone has a safe and very Merry Christmas, and a lovely break!

08.01.2022 Queen's Wharf is one of Brisbane's big transformational developments, and is currently under construction. It has drawn a lot of interest, and it looks as though the residential component has also proven to be popular. Before buying into any development - and any property in fact - make sure you do thorough research to determine if it's a good investment

08.01.2022 Brisbanes house prices remained stable over the past month, and prices are still up by 3.5% over the past year, despite the impact of COVID-19. As confidence builds we believe the market will continue to hold stable and pent up demand will see prices rise in time. We are seeing more expats moving to Brisbane for lifestyle and affordability, as well as those from interstate, all of which is creating greater demand for property, which will flow through to the market

08.01.2022 Council is redeveloping the 1907-built Kingston Butter Factory and surrounds in Logan, south of Brisbane. Split into two components, the project includes a theatre and living museum in the butter factory building, along with an outdoor venue with a purpose-built stage and room for up to 5,000 people. This will be much welcomed amenity to Logan, and will be a drawcard for residents, both current and future

08.01.2022 The Gold Coast was the best performing city in Australia for luxury residential price growth over the past year, according to Knight Franks research, with Brisbane coming in at number 4.

Some are looking to buy holiday homes because they cant travel and theyre looking for lifestyle areas such as South East Queensland, which will underpin property prices in these areas

07.01.2022 CoreLogics latest index results are out. As Tim Lawless says, housing markets have remained relatively resilient through COVID so far. The impact from COVID-19 on housing values has been orderly to-date, with CoreLogics national index falling only 1.6% since the recent high in April and housing turnover has recovered quickly after its sharp fall in late March and April. Brisbanes median dwelling price fell marginally by 0.4% over the past month but is still up by 3.8% over the past year

06.01.2022 One thing we have seen during this pandemic is buyers with significant money looking for bigger or safe haven properties to ride out COVID-19, and high net worths are putting money into property largely because they cant undertake other activities, such as travel. Some agents are reporting more buyers at the luxury end than ever before

05.01.2022 Griffith University has unveiled $1 billion plans to leave Mount Gravatt Campus, create a new campus at Roma Street Station and build a $80 million bioengineering centre on the Gold Coast.

New and existing students will also be welcomed at the new 55-storey tower in Brisbane’s CBD as well as the growing Logan campus.

05.01.2022 Greater Brisbanes vacancy rate is sitting at 2% and Brisbane LGA at 3.2%, according to the latest REIQ figures. In our capital city, Outer Brisbane has the tightest vacancy rate of 1.7%, with the middle ring sitting at 2.4% and the inner ring at 3.9%. Tighter vacancy rates means greater potential for rent rises in the future, particularly as demand grows due to interstate migration

05.01.2022 Albion could have a new mixed-use development on Sandgate Road if this proposal gets the go ahead. The project is centred on the old TAB building which was built in the 1970s and would undergo a building refurbishment, complete with faade upgrade, as well as a new open area plaza and new mid-level commercial office tower. An onsite bistro, supermarket and boutique retail is also planned. If done well, this project could bring more amenity to the area and help to revitalise it

03.01.2022 This Coles at Taringa has now been given the go ahead. The proposal involved a smaller supermarket and a Liquorland with a basement level of carparking. ‘Coles Local’, is a new type of store that is more representative of a traditional local grocery marketplace rather than a full line supermarket, and Queensland is yet to see one opened

02.01.2022 The top Queensland regional suburb for house price growth over the past 20 years was Palm Beach, which recorded growth of 437%. It was followed by Warana, Buddina, Miami and Noosa Heads. Regional areas are becoming more popular, particularly with the move to work from home and a growing desire for lifestyle, and future price growth will follow

01.01.2022 Cloudland could have a new rooftop bar and microbrewery, if a development proposal is approved. The planned rooftop bar is a 814m2 space which would include a micro-brewery, bar and covered outdoor area

01.01.2022 An office building is planned for Fortitude Valley alongside the landmark McWhirters building, which will assist in providing renewal in the area. It is close to Fortitude Valley station, currently undergoing a $500 million revamp, which is expected to be a drawcard

01.01.2022 More affordable middle-ring Brisbane suburbs such Kenmore, Macgregor, Moorooka, Mount Gravatt East and Stafford are tipped to be the type of suburbs that will recover the fastest post COVID-19. Meanwhile, in the period post the GFC Rochedale was the best performer, with growth of 14.1%, followed by Macgregor, Alderley, Shorncliffe and McDowall

01.01.2022 8 key projects in Queensland are set to be approved in order to drive up employment and leverage more than $330 million in private sector investment.
