Price Guide 2026Australia

City of BrisbaneAverage Rent

Brisbane is currently navigating a period of hyper-growth fueled by Olympic-related infrastructure projects, leading to chronic supply shortages in the inner-city core. While the A$11,200/m² average buy price reflects years of aggressive capital appreciation, the rental yield of A$29/m² remains resilient as interstate migration continues to outpace new housing completions. Our verdict: Brisbane is a high-conviction 'Buy' for long-term equity, though the window for entry-level investment in the CBD is rapidly closing.
