The decision on which school to send your precious little ones – and not so little ones – is not always easy.
There are many factors to consider, including whether you fall into the catchment zone for your young scholar’s preferred school.
The battle for a family home within popular school catchment zones can see prices skyrocket.
The number crunchers at Domain have taken a look at the stats to paint a picture of Brisbane’s school catchment zones in its 2020 School Zones Report.
The figures could surprise you.
Overall, secondary school catchments appear to have a more positive impact on house price growth compared to primary school catchments. The top ten growth rates for school catchment zones ranged from a whopping 14 per cent to 29 per cent.
Five Brissie primary school catchment zones cracked the national top 10 list including nearby Bald Hills State School. Our other local, Aspley State School – also cracked Brissie’s top 10.
To calculate the price growth Domain took the annual change in the median house price within a school catchment area. It compared the median sale price from November 2019 – October 2020 to the median sale price from November 2018 – October 2019.
Here are the results.
