Terry Ryder, in a recent report, has said that 2018 is likely to be the year in which Brisbane delivers on the potential many analysts have been expecting.

For the past several years, many commentators have forecast strong price growth in the Brisbane property market. But to date the city has delivered little overall, although some individual precincts have had short bursts of good growth.

Brisbane, for all its solid qualities, has previously lacked the momentum that comes from a strong underlying economy, major population growth and big investment in facilities, especially transport links.

But things are changing. Many of the stars that Brisbane needs to fall into alignment now seem to be doing so.

The Queensland economy is showing increasing signs of improvement, having led the nation on jobs creation in 2017.

And the resources sector, a big element in the state economy, is also showing increasing signs of revival.

The state is now the national leader on net gains in population from interstate migration, a feature that has traditionally made Queensland strong but which has been lacking in recent years.

Against this background, the Brisbane property market is attracting growing interest from investors disenchanted by the prices and yields in Sydney and Melbourne.

While the best time to buy in the two biggest cities has well and truly passed, Brisbane appeals as a city that offers great value. Its prices are roughly half those in Sydney and its rental yields are much higher. And dual living properties are showing rental yields at better than twice those in Sydney.

A number of surveys have found that Brisbane is overwhelmingly the No.1 choice for property investors who plan to buy in the near future.

Hotspotting analysis of sales activity shows some the following in the greater Brisbane metropolitan area:

·       Ipswich City (No. 1 in Brisbane’s Top 5 report), in the south-western precinct is rising strongly and many suburbs are now delivering good price growth

·       Moreton Bay in the north – affordability, infrastructure and proximity to jobs nodes are key factors

·       Logan City, which has been a market leader in the past two years, has faded a little, having slipped down to No.4 on the Top 5 in Brisbane

Brisbane’s annual median house price hit a new record of $670,000 over the March quarter, according to the REIQ.

The REIQ’s March quarter Queensland Market Monitor found that against a backdrop of cooling prices in Sydney and Melbourne markets, Brisbane house sales were buoyed by steady population growth driving demand and underpinned by good economic fundamentals.

In this market, we could potentially see a rise in off-market sales as eager buyers pressure sales agents to see property before it hits the market.

The unit market on the other hand eased over the 12 months to March 2018, lost 2% off the annual median price.

Queensland has become the number-one destination for internal migration, taking over from Victoria in the latest ABS Census data, and the overseas migration is at its highest level in years, which means demand for accommodation will continue.

The rental market is operating in the healthy range, with balanced vacancies for the March quarter and rising demand levels easily absorbed almost 3,200 new rental properties hitting the rental pool this quarter.

Getting high returns in Brisbane with high potential for capital growth — How to do it

With Brisbane prices now moving ahead while Sydney and Melbourne are declining, investors are starting to gain insight as to where the market can be expected to move. With this in mind, investors can hit a goldmine of returns.

With the right strategies, there are areas where you’ll get the capital growth and if you implement correctly, will get positive cash flow as well.

So, let’s say a 4-bedroom house will produce an income of $400 per week. If you invest in a dual income property of, say 4 bedrooms plus one bedroom, you would end up with a total rent of $600 per week. I.e. 50% higher.

Effectively, investors are building houses for families and for singles and couples in the one property. So, you are appealing to and satisfying the needs of two markets.
