South East Queensland’s property market is witnessing a significant shift as the median house prices soar past the $1 million mark in nearly half of the region’s suburbs. The surge in prices has propelled over 310 suburbs in Queensland into the millionaire median category, reflecting a trend of escalating property values across the state.
An analysis of market data reveals that 325 suburbs in Queensland now boast median property prices exceeding $1 million, with notable growth observed in areas like Daisy Hill, Wynnum West, Beerburrum, and Palmwoods. Brisbane, the state’s capital, is on the cusp of surpassing the $1 million median mark, driven by a remarkable 21.8% surge in prices in suburbs like Daisy Hill.
While Brisbane suburbs are experiencing rapid growth, the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast continue to outpace the overall median prices in the region. Suburbs such as Underwood, Shailer Park, Kurwongbah, Brighton, and Kenmore in Brisbane, along with Pacific Pines and Highland Park on the Gold Coast, have also breached the $1 million threshold.
According to the latest PropTrack Home Price Index, Brisbane’s median house value is nearing $1 million, standing at a record $977,000. With the current growth trajectory, REA Group senior economist Eleanor Creagh anticipates that half of the region’s houses will surpass the million-dollar mark this year, signaling a significant shift in the real estate landscape.
The Propertybuyers/Hotspotting report highlights a national trend, with 1194 suburbs or towns across Australia now boasting median prices of $1 million or more. In Queensland alone, Brisbane leads the millionaire suburbs list, followed by the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast, reflecting the state’s robust property market.
Industry experts attribute Brisbane’s imminent entry into the million-dollar median club to factors such as strong post-pandemic growth, sustained demand from interstate migrants and investors, and the city’s relative affordability compared to other states. The city’s appeal lies in its lifestyle offerings and connectivity to amenities, driving its property market towards the million-dollar milestone.
Real estate agents and analysts emphasize the unprecedented pace of price escalation in Brisbane, with demand consistently outstripping the available housing supply. Suburbs like Redlands are witnessing a notable increase in property values, with four-bedroom homes now commanding prices above the million-dollar mark, underscoring the city’s rapid ascent in the real estate market.
As Brisbane’s median dwelling value hovers around record levels, experts project continued growth in the range of 8% to 10% this year, signaling a positive outlook for the city’s property market. With suburbs across Queensland inching closer to the million-dollar milestone, the state’s real estate sector is poised for further expansion and transformation in the coming months.
