The property market across Brisbane and the Redcliffe Peninsula continues to demonstrate strength, with rental growth re-accelerating and values climbing steadily. For both investors and homeowners, conditions remain competitive, and the latest data highlights just how strong demand has become.
Brisbane is leading the rebound in rental growth across Australia’s capital cities. After moderating earlier in the year, annual rental growth has picked up again, rising from 3.2% in February to 4.6% in July, according to Cotality’s August Housing Chart Pack (2025).
This renewed strength is being driven primarily by the unit market, where demand for medium and high-density housing continues to outpace supply. Vacancy rates remain close to record lows, keeping pressure on rents and reflecting ongoing tightness in the market (Cotality, 2025).
Carindale was a standout performer, recording the largest uplift in rental growth nationally. Annual growth in the suburb surged from 1.3% in June to 4.5% in July (Cotality, 2025).
Closer to home, the Redcliffe Peninsula housing market is experiencing robust growth. According to OpenAgent’s suburb performance data (2025):
- Houses have risen 8.4% in value over the past year
- Units have surged an impressive 20%
- Median house price: $817,500
- Median unit price: $670,000
Properties are also selling quickly, with houses averaging 26 days on market and units just 21 days. These short selling times highlight the high level of demand across the Peninsula and the competitive environment for buyers (OpenAgent, 2025).
For investors, the strong performance of the unit market is particularly noteworthy, with affordability, lifestyle appeal, and limited new supply combining to drive growth.
Sales Market Conditions
Brisbane’s broader sales market remains tight, with new listings scarce compared to historical averages. Over the three months to July, dwelling values in Brisbane rose 2.3%, placing the city among the nation’s top performers alongside Darwin and Perth (Cotality, 2025).
With limited stock on the market, buyers are facing fewer choices, while sellers are benefitting from competitive conditions. Vendor discounting has narrowed, and auction clearance rates are at their highest levels in more than a year (Cotality, 2025).
What This Means for Owners & Investors
With rents climbing, values rising, and stock remaining tight, both Brisbane and the Redcliffe Peninsula present strong opportunities for property owners and investors.
- For landlords, low vacancy rates and renewed rental growth strengthen yields and long-term capital growth prospects.
- For sellers, limited stock and strong demand are creating conditions for premium results.
- For buyers, competition is high, but growth potential remains strong in both established Brisbane suburbs and coastal lifestyle markets like Redcliffe.
