The market
Demand Is Outrunning Supply
The Property Council of Australia says Brisbane needs about 8,000 attached dwellings a year to 2031, while inner Brisbane delivered about 2,550 apartments in 2025 and about 3,000 are forecast for 2026. With construction costs above the price of many existing units, new supply is likely to stay tight.
