Overview Brisbane Summary Capital City Report - Greater Brisbane Largest city in Queensland and the third largest in Australia with approximately 2.2 million residents. ABS statistics shows an estimated spike in Brisbane s population of more than 1 million new residents from now until 2031. Brisbane offers some very unique opportunities for investors. Brisbane has a number of drivers such as the climate, proximity to tourist centres at the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, high population growth as well as an affordable median price tag. After a few years of stagnant growth following the GFC, Brisbane has boomed and touted as the number 1 capital city to invest in early in 2016. Brisbane has grown more than 6 percent within the last 12 months. It has also grown 14.2% in the last 5 years. There have been 14 consecutive months of growth for Brisbane The city boasts a number of opportunities in education, culture, employment and recreation. Brisbane has been a core focus of many investors both domestic and international, due to the increasingly desirable conditions, high infrastructure investment, location within the Asia-Pacific region and countless other factors. As much of the talk in property investment has been focused on both Sydney and Melbourne over the past 12 months, many property professionals believe these cities have reached the peak in their growth cycle and will likely see a declining or stagnant market in terms of sales and price growth over the next 12 24 months. The spotlight has now moved onto Brisbane as investors are seeking greater potential equity returns. The median house price has grown substantially, to be more than $584,000 and $376,000 for units. Brisbane s rising market has been confirmed by a number of bodies in the industry such as Herron Todd White with their illustration of the property clock for houses placing Brisbane at between 9 and 12, whereas Sydney is now sitting at 3 (past the peak and declining). 3 ppiadvice.com.au
Even though price growth has been moderate over the past 12 months, sales activity reached its highest levels in five years, a clear indication that the there is strong demand. While the overall growth of the city has not been significant, specific suburbs or hotspots have recorded double digit growth with some rivalling that of Sydney. Growth Drivers Brisbane City Council is the largest city council in Asia-Pacific Region, managing a budget of over $1.6 billion, with managed assets in excess of $16 billion Brisbane ranked number one for expected gross domestic product growth over the next 8 years Brisbane is the closest major Australian capital to the Asia-Pacific region Tightening vacancy rates in the rental market Growth in local businesses has boosted employment and the retail market, which in turn has spurred demand for housing Market Outlook Public Transport to Work 17.1% 4 ppiadvice.com.au
