Queensland Property Market Set for Double-Digit Growth in 2026

Queensland’s property market is poised for a major upswing, with new forecasts from SQM Research predicting price rises of 10 to 15 per cent across Brisbane and key regional areas in 2026.

The Sunshine State is expected to outperform the southern capitals, with Sydney and Melbourne tipped for more modest growth of just 3 to 7 per cent.

This surge is being driven by a combination of strong population growth, tight housing supply, and record-low vacancy rates — currently sitting below one per cent across much of Queensland. The state continues to attract interstate migration at record levels, with 40,000–50,000 new residents expected to move to Brisbane and surrounding areas over the next few years.

Adding to the momentum are the major infrastructure investments transforming Brisbane ahead of the 2032 Olympic Games. Landmark projects such as the Cross River Rail, Brisbane Arena, and surrounding precinct redevelopments are set to elevate liveability, connectivity, and long-term capital growth potential.

Even under less favourable economic conditions, SQM’s models still project Brisbane to deliver up to 12 per cent growth — further reinforcing the city’s strong fundamentals and resilience compared to other markets.

For Murcia Residences, this outlook underscores Brisbane’s standing as one of Australia’s most exciting property markets. With ongoing infrastructure upgrades, limited supply, and sustained demand from both investors and owner-occupiers, the inner-city developments represented are ideally positioned to capture the next phase of Queensland’s growth story.
