As the year rolls on the Brisbane property market has continued an impressive display of strength, with new data showing it has outpaced many other Australian capital cities.

And it’s the cheaper end of the Brissie market that is doing most of the heavy lifting.

In the three months to August 2025, the cheapest quartile of the Brisbane market grew by an impressive 3.7 per cent, according to the latest Cotality Housing Chart Pack.

This compares to 3.2 per cent for the middle segment of the market, and just 2.6 per cent for the most expensive quartile of the market.

The chart also shows that Brissie sprung to life before spring, with a nation-leading 1.3 per cent growth recorded in the four weeks to 9 September 2025.

These figures take annual growth to a healthy 8 per cent.

High demand and historically low supply are underpinning the continued growth cycle. Brisbane’s new listings in August were down -16.4 per cent on the same period last year, while total listings were down -15.8 per cent.

This means sellers who are ready to list are seeing strong interest.

If you’re thinking of selling, now is very strong time to be in market and it’s not too late to capitalise on the spring season.
