The Queensland property market in early 2026 continues to make headlines as one of the most competitive and growth-oriented real estate environments in Australia. Fueled by strong demand, limited supply, interstate migration and major infrastructure projects, housing values across both metropolitan and regional areas have been on the rise – presenting a complex picture for buyers, sellers and investors alike. Rising Prices & Tight Supply: What Buyers Are Facing For prospective homebuyers in Queensland, the market remains challenging. Low inventory and high demand have kept prices climbing, particularly in Southeast Queensland where Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast are key drivers of state growth.Read More →

Queensland’s property market has continued its upward momentum through the March 2025 quarter, with new data revealing just how far the market has come in the five years since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The latest median sales results released by the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) show the state’s housing market notched up another quarter of steady performance, with the quarterly median sale price for houses edging up 0.61% to $812,000, and unit prices lifting 3.85% to $675,000.

According to psychologists and counsellors there are five stages of grief. Denial, anger,  bargaining, depression and acceptance. Since the evening of Saturday 3rd May 2025,  and much to the managing director’s annoyance, I have been experiencing the  emotional roller coaster that grief provides. I have discovered that denial is not actually  the first emotional hurdle when a confronting event impacts one’s life. No, shock comes  first. Then you skip denial and move straight to anger. Not anger with the punters and  the winners. No, anger that the conservative side of politics managed to drop the ball  so spectacularly that a bunch of political hacks haveRead More →

“I am not evading tax in any way, shape or form. Now, of course I am minimising my tax and if anybody in this country doesn’t minimise their tax, they want their heads read because as a government, I can tell you, you’re not spending it that well that we should be donating extra”. Kerry Packer November 1991, in answer to questions during a parliamentary enquiry And so, as end of financial year rolls around once more the immortal words of Kerry Francis Bullmore Packer ring truer than ever. One might even suggest that actual evasion should be encouraged such is the level of wasteRead More →

I remarked to the managing director recently that the pursuit of perfection could drive a man insane. Yeah, I know, it’s a short drive. Her retort suggested that, through her presence, I had indeed succeeded in such a quest and miraculously I had remained mildly rational. For it is received wisdom that the MD is perfect and I should thank my lucky stars for her continued indulgence. I chose to reply with an ill-advised “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” remark. I’m sure that once I regain full use of my faculties and have the stitches removed, I will reflect and regret inRead More →

The comedian Jim Jeffries is profane, offensive, politically incorrect and very very funny. His riff on America’s fascination with guns is particularly biting. He observes that people of a certain demographic get very angry when he suggests that perhaps it’s time for the great US of A to reflect on gun violence. “You can’t change the 2nd amendment” they shout, to which he retorts, “Yes you can, it’s called an amendment!”. Kinda says it all when it comes to some attitudes to change. Got me thinking about stuff we take for granted that might not get a run in today’s gentler, more feeling world. ImagineRead More →

Every so often we experience things that have a huge impact on our lives. 2015 was a year I won’t forget, for two reasons. Firstly, (and, admittedly, most importantly) it was my introduction to motherhood – no amount of study could have prepared me for that! Secondly, when I enthusiastically returned from maternity leave in January 2016, I found my industry had been turned upside down from a surprising tribunal decision that occurred in 2015. Six years later, after I drop my gorgeous son off to school in the morning, I’m back in the office continuing to deal with the aftermath of that pesky “GalleryRead More →

As I contemplate an attempt to make some sense in this article there’s an old English expression thatsprings to mind.“May you live in interesting times” is claimed to be a translation of a traditional Chinese curse. Whileseemingly a blessing, the expression is normally used ironically; life is better in “uninteresting times” thanin “interesting” ones, which are usually times of trouble. Talk about ironic alright.Anyway, I digress.Rather than write my usual meandering stream of consciousness I’ve decided to cut to the chase andoutline some specific thoughts that might hopefully assist buyers to navigate a management rightspurchase in a world of apparent uncertainty.The Fundamentals Have Not ChangedWhileRead More →
