POPULATION (ABS ERP 2024)

POPULATION GROWTH IS SURGING

Brisbane remains the primary destination for interstate migration to Queensland, with its population share projected to increase from 49% to 50–51% by 2032.

By 2066, Brisbane is projected to reach 4.34 million residents.

Lifestyle, affordability, and job opportunities are driving sustained housing demand.

INFRASTRUCTURE BOOM AFFORDABILITY ADVANTAGE

Brisbane is undergoing a multi-billiondollar infrastructure transformation, including:

• Queen’s Wharf Development - $3.6bn

• New Brisbane Live Arena - $2.5bn

• Port of Brisbane upgrades - $15.4bn

• Cross River Rail - $5.4bn

• Brisbane Metro - incl. Cultural Centre

Station to Platforms 1, 2 & 3 - $1.7bn

• Green Bridges Program (connecting popular inner-city precincts) - $550m

• Brisbane Airport Upgrades (Domestic & International Terminals) - $5bn

Compared to Sydney and Melbourne, Brisbane remains significantly more affordable. Brisbane’s median house/ unit price is significantly lower than Melbourne’s. Buyers and investors can enter the market with less capital, increasing competition in entry to mid-tier suburbs.

This affordability drawcard makes it appealing for both owner-occupiers and investors priced out elsewhere.

OLYMPICS 2032: A DECADE OF OPPORTUNITY

Hosting the Olympics will supercharge Brisbane’s global profile and catalyse further investment.

As we’ve seen in other host cities, this has a compounding effect on property values, infrastructure, and economic activity.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK: Q1 2025

“The momentum we’re building is extraordinaryand we’re only just getting started.”

~ Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner

In Q1 2025, 381 units were completed, with an additional 1,084 expected by year-end. Ongoing construction delays continue to impact delivery timelines, with several projects originally anticipated to settle in 2024 now pushed into this year. As the majority of these units were presold in previous years, their completion is unlikely to significantly ease current supply pressures.

New inner-city apartments in Brisbane recorded an average sale price of $2,027,785 in Q1 2025, bringing the 12-month rolling average down to $2,353,398. This shift is more indicative of the type of product transacting than a broader market downturn. Reported sales during the quarter included Mosaic’s The Carter at Kangaroo Point and CBUS’s 185 Wharf at Spring Hill—both well-located projects, though not positioned on premium riverfront sites.

Sales volumes declined slightly in Q1 2025, with 281 transactions recorded—down from 385 in Q4 2024. However, this suggests a gradual normalisation in the market following the historically low volumes of 2023 and 2024. While activity remains concentrated in premium locations, there is increasing acceptance of the current pricing landscape, as evidenced by the take-up of newly released stock—a positive indicator for market sentiment. That said, delivering high-rise projects in secondary (B- and C-grade) locations will remain challenging, given their inability to achieve comparable price points.

Despite ongoing challenges in the construction sector, it’s encouraging to see a lift in new project releases and stronger sales volumes. With builder availability still a key risk in SEQ, more developers are bringing construction in-house—a solution that, while not without risk, is helping to bridge delivery gaps. The market remains focused on low- to mid-rise developments, with 15–20 storeys currently the preferred height range.

At a recent Colliers event, Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie issued a strong call to action, urging the industry to seize the once-in-a-generation opportunity presented by the 2032 Olympics and beyond. “We’re open for business,” Bleijie declared, emphasising Queensland’s appeal as a safe and stable investment destination. He assured attendees of a government committed to stability, certainty, and decisive action—“no surprises, no overnight changes.” While acknowledging future challenges, the message was clear: Queensland’s foundations are strong, and the opportunities are ready to be realised.

INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION

OPPORTUNITY:

INNER BRISBANE

POPULATION GROWTH 2021 - 2030 (%)

In 2025, an estimated 340,000 new migrants are expected to arrive in Australia.

Immigration will drive two-thirds of Australia’s population growth, with the total population projected to reach 31.3 million by 2034, an increase of 15%.

Australia is forecast to have the highest population growth among developed countries over the next decade.

To accommodate every 1 million increase in population, Australia will need approximately 420,000 new dwellings.

INNER BRISBANE

Sales Volume displayed a significant increase in Q4 2024, and has still displayed strong sales into Q1 2025.

The Brisbane apartment market saw a notable uplift in sales during Q4 2024, primarily driven by strong activity in the East and North precincts. While the CBD showed some late momentum, outer precincts like South and West lagged behind.

This pattern highlights a limited number of new projects in the South & West precinct locations in the current market cycle.
