As we move deeper into 2025, Brisbane’s property market continues to show resilience, adaptability, and exciting growth — especially across the city’s southern suburbs. From high buyer demand to changing preferences in home features, there’s plenty of momentum building in and around Tarragindi. Whether you’re a homeowner considering selling or just keeping a close eye on market trends, here’s what’s making waves in Brisbane’s property scene this quarter.
Demand Surges for Family-Friendly Suburbs
One of the strongest trends this quarter is the continued demand for homes in well-established, family-friendly suburbs — and Tarragindi is right at the top of that list. Buyers are placing a premium on liveability, proximity to schools, parks, and access to the CBD. Suburbs like Holland Park, Annerley, and Mount Gravatt East are also seeing a boost, thanks to their leafy streets, renovated post-war homes, and community atmosphere.
Properties in these areas are moving quickly, especially those with four bedrooms, dual living potential, or a home office space — a sign that hybrid work arrangements are still influencing what buyers are looking for.
Units & Townhouses Gaining Attention
While the freestanding home market remains strong, Brisbane’s rising median house prices have driven renewed interest in townhouses and boutique units. First-home buyers and downsizers are zeroing in on quality-built townhomes in areas like Camp Hill, Coorparoo, and Carina, where they can still find value without compromising on location or lifestyle.
Developments with low body corporate fees and thoughtful layouts are particularly popular, with open-plan living and outdoor entertaining spaces at the top of many buyers’ wish lists.
Investor Confidence Returning
We’re also seeing a resurgence in investor activity, particularly in Brisbane’s middle-ring suburbs. With rental demand surging and vacancy rates at historic lows, investors are recognising the strong yield potential Brisbane has to offer. Suburbs with good transport links and infrastructure upgrades — such as Moorooka and Salisbury — are seeing increased attention from savvy buyers looking for growth and strong returns.
What This Means for Sellers
If you’ve been thinking about selling, this quarter could be your window of opportunity. Well-presented homes in popular school catchments, with modern updates or renovation potential, are attracting competitive interest — often within days of hitting the market. Presentation, pricing strategy, and timing are more important than ever in making your property stand out.
