WINTER MOMENTUM
Stock shortages, buyer urgency, and why timing matters more than ever
As we approach the end of financial year, Brisbane’s residential market continues to defy the usual winter slowdown.
According to CoreLogic’s latest data, dwelling values in Brisbane have risen for 20 consecutive months, with no signs of fatigue. But what’s becoming increasingly clear is that momentum is being driven not just by strong fundamentals — but by scarcity.
Across the inner-city ring, we’re seeing:
-
Below-average listing volumes compared to the 5-year trend
-
High clearance rates for quality apartments and houses
-
Shorter days on market, particularly in New Farm, Teneriffe, and the CBD
This tightening of supply is creating urgency — not panic, but focus. Serious buyers are circling. And the properties that are prepared, priced, and marketed correctly? They’re transacting quickly, and often with competitive interest.
There’s also a notable shift in buyer profiles. While interstate migration continues to play a role, we’re seeing more:
-
Owner-occupiers moving up or down within Brisbane
-
Investors returning, with an eye on yield + long-term growth
-
Locals purchasing emotionally, but acting decisively
Today’s Pisces Moon might be better suited to poetry than property analysis — but if there’s one thing astrology and economics agree on, it’s timing.
Right now, sellers hold the advantage. And while spring campaigns will always attract attention, winter campaigns attract intention.
If you’re curious about what your property might be worth in this climate, or how to strategically position it for sale before the next seasonal wave, we’d be glad to guide you through it.
