There are few guarantees in life but selling in Brissie right now will almost certainly deliver a profit.

Both units and houses are seeing strong profit-making resales.

A whopping 99.5 per cent of houses and 99 per cent of units sold for a profit in the first half of 2025, says the Domain Profit and Loss Report.

The only stat more impressive than that is the size of the profit.

The median gain for Brissie houses was a massive $480,000.

The median gain for Brissie units was a noteworthy $255,000.

In the rare instances of a loss, house sellers were out of pocket by a median amount of $150,000 and loss-making unit sellers down $253,000.

Nationally, Brisbane houses topped the charts for the percentage of resales making a profit.

“Brisbane and Perth led with more than 99% of house resales delivering gains, while Darwin, Hobart and Canberra recorded the lowest share of profitable sales,” Domain reports.

Interestingly the size of the median loss for Brisbane’s loss-making house resales is high compared to other cities, but this could be a statistical anomaly given there are so few.

“On the loss side, Adelaide and Brisbane posted the largest median losses. However, with relatively few loss-making sales overall, trends remain less reliable,” Domain writes.

And it’s a similar story for Brissie units:

“Brisbane and Adelaide units are delivering the highest median resale profits, even outpacing Sydney – despite lower price points… These results reflect strong capital growth in both markets since 2021,” the Report says.

“Median losses were highest in Brisbane and Adelaide, though these figures are based on smaller sample sizes and may reflect some overpaying when market conditions were especially heated.”
