Why South East Queensland Is the Smart Buy Right Now

Brisbane 2032:  Why Now Is the Time to Get In

The torch hasn’t even been lit yet, and already, Brisbane’s property market is heating up. 

We’ve seen it in every Olympic city—new infrastructure drives property values long after the final medal is awarded.
Brisbane’s 2032 Olympic plan is no different. With billions now committed to stadiums, transport, and lifestyle upgrades across Spring Hill, Milton, Logan, Redland, and Moreton Bay, property buyers are already seeing the early signs of uplift.

In this issue of Property Talk, we reveal why 2025 is the window savvy buyers have been waiting for, what’s happening, where the growth is emerging, and how our clients are using their equity or 10% deposit to get in early—before the rest of the market catches on.
​
Yes, you don’t have to sell to lock in today's prices for the coming years. You need your deposit (or simply equity) and a clever strategy from our team. 
We’re here to ensure your next move is informed, strategic, and aligned with your future goals.

Let's talk.  Read the full article and secure your head start today.

Imagine it’s 2032. The Olympic torch is lit, global attention is fixed on Brisbane, and the city is buzzing with life, energy, and international prestige.
 
Now imagine you had the foresight to buy property here years ago at today’s prices.
That’s precisely the opportunity savvy buyers are stepping into right now.
 
With the Queensland Government’s  final Olympic infrastructure blueprint officially released,  we’re no longer talking about plans—we’re talking about progress. Massive, game-changing progress. 

​Here’s what’s locked in:
​

• A brand-new 63,000-seat stadium at Victoria Park
• A National Aquatic Centre in Spring Hill with space for 25,000 spectators
• Upgrades to the Queensland Tennis Centre and the Chandler Sport Precinct
• Major improvements in liveability and connectivity across Moreton, Logan, Redland, and beyond​

Kangaroo Point Waterfront Project

​
These aren’t just facilities for a few weeks of sport--they’re investments into the future of Southeast Queensland.
For property buyers, they represent long-term growth potential that is hard to ignore.

We’ve seen it before ... Consider Sydney after the 2000 Olympics—infrastructure drove property values up for several years. The suburbs that embraced early change? They thrived.
 
We’re already seeing the same early momentum in places like Spring Hill and Woolloongabba—and that wave is only intensifying.

​The Suburbs Already on the Rise!
​

The areas surrounding Victoria Park, home of the future 63,000-seat Olympic stadium, are tipped to lead the charge.

Suburbs like Spring Hill, Kelvin Grove, and Herston are among the most closely watched, with Spring Hill unit prices alone soaring 116.6% since 2020, thanks to early development activity and surging investor confidence.

“We know from other host cities that long-term growth in property values can be linked to the lasting infrastructure improvements made for the Games,” said Urbis Director Paul Riga.

​The data backs it up.

In the lead-up to Sydney’s 2000 Olympics, suburbs like Strathfield saw property prices jump by 79%. Projections suggest Brisbane could outperform those benchmarks—especially in areas tied to new infrastructure and enhanced connectivity.
​
So, where should buyers be looking?

The Suburbs to Watch for: 

Spring Hill’s Prime Living Off-Market Project

Inner Brisbane Hotspots
These suburbs are positioned to benefit directly from Olympic upgrades:

• Spring Hill
• Milton
• Kelvin Grove
• Herston
• Woolloongabba

Emerging Growth Corridors

While specific price projections for regional centres are still emerging, all signs point to one thing: a rising tide of infrastructure-fuelled opportunity that could reshape Queensland’s property landscape for the next decade.
