  • Since 2020, homes in Queensland's capital have increased by 50 per cent, making it now the nation's third most expensive city with median dwelling price of $787,217.

  • Michael Deakin's family had to get innovative to survive Brisbane's booming property market, combining incomes with his mother-in-law to buy a home for three generations.

Brisbane's continual rent increases 'unheard of'

  • Released today, the Domain Rental Report shows Brisbanites are now paying an average of $600 per week for houses and $560 for units.

I'm glad I was born long enough ago to have been able to afford to buy a house (well, the mortgage on one anyway). I'd be fucked trying to buy anything in currentyear.
