In fact, investors could have thrown a dart at Brisbane and made money in the last year, according to new research.
The latest stats show that 99 per cent of Brisbane’s investment properties sold in the last year achieved a profit, reports realestate.com.au.
It’s not surprising then that investor lending stats were also looking strong.
The PropTrack Terri Scheer Investor Report showed that investor lending was almost at its highest on record, accounting for 38 per cent of loans between 2024 and 2025.
So what’s driving this continued investor love affair with Brisbane?
Our underlying property fundamentals remain strong – really strong.
We have solid population growth, ongoing infrastructure investment thanks to the Olympics and new listings coming on to the market are still tracking at historically low levels.
This has pushed prices to record highs.
While Brissie buyers once enjoyed relative affordability compared to southern capital cities, that period has passed, with Sydney the only market now routinely more expensive than Brisbane.
That has capital growth upsides for investors and homeowners already in the market, but can make it challenging for first time buyers.
For this reason, some first timers are ditching plans to buy a home of their own in favour of rentvesting.
This is when you buy an investment property while renting a place to live. It can be appealing for those who can’t afford to buy where they want to live but they otherwise want to get a foothold in the market.
