Brisbane is in the rising phase of the property cycle in 2026 according to Herron Todd White’s March 2026 Month in Review. The 2032 Olympics infrastructure pipeline, Cross River Rail opening, and continued interstate migration make Brisbane one of the strongest medium-term property markets in Australia. GeeVee scores Brisbane metro 8.0/10 for investment in 2026.

GeeVee Says: Yes — With These Conditions
GeeVee recommends buying in Brisbane in 2026 for investors with a 7-10 year hold horizon and a budget of $600k-$1.2M. The sweet spot is units in inner-Brisbane suburbs (Woolloongabba, West End, South Brisbane) and houses in growth corridors (Ipswich, Logan, Redcliffe). Avoid over-supplied unit towers in the CBD built between 2015-2020 — these have poor land content and oversupply risk.
