As stated in the following article by Maria Gil from Domain, Queensland is now a more popular property investing hotspot than Victoria - https://www.domain.com.au/news/experts-reveal-the-investing-hotspots-in-the-queensland-property-market-in-2025-1336316/.
According to the ABS, it's the first time in over 2 decades that Queensland has become the second most popular market for property investors. Based on data at end of September 2024, there were over 4500 new investor home loans for properties in Queensland, which is 700 more loans than Victoria.
The major infrastructure development, upcoming Olympics Games, and population growth are key drivers for investor interest, with median prices tipped to hit $1 million by end of this year.
South East Queensland has been identified as a key property investor hotspot. Lets take a look at median price growth for 4 different suburbs in South East Queensland, and also the vendor discount rates for these areas - Ipswich, Logan, Albany Creek, and Kallangur.
The data shows significant price growth over the last decade, with all suburbs more than doubling in value over that period - Ipswich grew a whopping 9.59% per year over 10 years. Price growth in the last year alone (between 2023 and 2024 to date) has been a massive 15-20% in these suburbs.
Vendor discount rates indicate that Ipswich properties have recently been selling at relatively discounted prices, with Albany Creek and Logan properties selling at the listed prices (par), and Kallangur properties selling at premium prices.
