This can be seen already as suburbs with median prices below $1 million have tended to see higher growth last year than suburbs with median prices above $1 million.
The unit sector has also continued to outperform the housing market since 2024, reports Australian Property Investor.
So where should investors or growth seekers put their money in 2026? Crystal balls are notoriously unreliable in the short term, but CBS Property Group Managing Director George Kafantaris suggests seven suburbs are worth a look.
Here on the northside, Mr Kafantaris tipped Chermside and Nundah to shine brightest amongst Brissie’s 2026 hotspots.
Chermside was touted as: “A major activity centre with strong amenity, transport access and ongoing densification. Unit yields remain attractive and rental demand is consistently high.”
Nundah meanwhile: “Offers excellent connectivity (rail and airport), strong rental demand and low vacancy rates. A historically stable suburb with continued appeal for both investors and young professionals.”
