THEY CALLED US BORING :-(
Not us personally. Brisbane.
Writer David Malouf once described this city as "so sleepy, so slatternly, so sprawlingly unlovely... simply the most ordinary place in the world."
A property analyst wrote, not that long ago, that Brisbane was "fast losing its relevance" and needed to "grow up or remain boring."
People called it Brisvegas. The Brown Snake. Australia's forgettable third city.
We'd like to submit an update.
Brisbane's median dwelling value just crossed $1.1 million. Annual growth is sitting at 19%. The city has gained 85% in value over five years. Units are outperforming houses. Vacancy rates are at 0.9%. And somewhere in the inner city right now, a well-priced apartment is selling in 17 days flat.
Boring cities don't do that.
The people who bought in New Farm, Teneriffe, Newstead, and Fortitude Valley while everyone was looking south? They're not bored. They're quietly delighted.
If you've been thinking about your next move, buying, selling, or simply understanding what your property is worth in a city that finally got its moment, let's talk.
We've been here. We knew.
