EP 293 Brisbane Property Market Update - January 2026

The Brisbane property market has started 2026 with serious momentum. Buyer demand surged early in January, listings were snapped up quickly, and competition remains strong across both houses and units.

In this episode, we break down:

• Brisbane dwelling price growth (monthly, quarterly & annual)
• Median house price in Brisbane (now over $1.14M)
• Median unit price in Brisbane (over $824K)
• Why Brisbane units are outperforming houses
• Rental market update – yields, rent growth & vacancy trends
• Supply shortages & low listing volumes
• Interest rate impacts & APRA lending changes
• KPMG’s 2026 property forecast for Brisbane
• What buyers and investors should expect in 2026

Brisbane dwelling values increased 1.6% in January alone, with annual growth sitting at 15.7%. Units continue to outperform houses, rising 18.3% annually highlighting strong demand in the more affordable segments of the market. With tight supply, strong interstate migration, infrastructure investment ahead of the 2032 Olympics, and ongoing rental pressure, Brisbane remains one of Australia’s strongest performing capital city markets.
