If you’ve been watching the property market this year, you’ll know that Brisbane continues to stand out as one of Australia’s strongest investment opportunities.
As someone who has worked with property investors for over a decade, I can tell you — timing your entry, knowing where to buy, and understanding market drivers have never been more important than it is today.
Here’s my view on how, when, and why Brisbane property investment is worth your attention in 2025.
Why is Brisbane property still in demand?
The simple answer? Lifestyle and opportunity.
Brisbane continues to attract both homebuyers and renters at record levels, drawn by the city’s lifestyle, affordability, and economic growth.
Demand for rentals is extraordinarily high. We are seeing vacancy rates below 1% in many suburbs, which translates to excellent rental yields Brisbane investors are achieving, particularly in growth corridors such as Logan, Ipswich, and Moreton Bay.
Couple that with a robust infrastructure pipeline — Brisbane Metro, Cross River Rail, and major upgrades tied to the 2032 Olympic Games — and it’s clear that Brisbane’s fundamentals remain strong for both capital growth and rental income.
The reality is simple: Brisbane’s property market is being underpinned by genuine demand, not speculation.
When is the best time to invest in Brisbane?
In my view — and this comes from experience — the window of opportunity is now.
Why? The Reserve Bank has paused rate rises. Buyers who have been sitting on the sidelines are coming back to the market. We are already seeing increased competition at auctions and private sales.
Those who act strategically today will likely outperform the market over the next 3 to 5 years.
If you wait until rates begin to fall again, you may well be buying into a rising market, paying more for the same asset.
Remember, property cycles move in waves. Those who plan and buy ahead of the curve consistently build wealth. I’ve seen this time and time again over 15 years in this market.
