State of the market
Queensland in 2026
Queensland has been Australia's standout performer over the last five years, driven by interstate migration from Sydney and Melbourne plus infrastructure investment leading up to the 2032 Olympics. Brisbane's median house price has compounded around 8-10% annually since 2020. The Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast have followed the same trajectory but with more cyclicality, and the Moreton Bay corridor (Caboolture, North Lakes, Burpengary) now offers genuine value for buyers priced out of inner Brisbane. Regional Queensland (Townsville, Cairns, Toowoomba) has lifted off years of stagnation and is now solidly positive.

Data source
Prices for Queensland are ABS statistical-area (SA2) medians: each is the median for the area that carries the suburb's name. An SA2 can take in surrounding localities, so a figure can differ from sales in the suburb itself. A suburb is listed only when its own page publishes the median, so the tables are shorter than the state. Averages are of suburb medians, not of sales. Full methodology →
