Two adjacent off-market sites secured by Buyers Scout in Hamilton.

No competition. No auction. Just a result.

Hamilton is one of Brisbane's true blue-chip suburbs. Sites like this rarely reach the open market, and when they do, they come with a queue of buyers and a price that reflects it.

This one never got there.

Because we secured both properties off-market, we were negotiating on our terms - not against a room full of competing offers. That changed everything:

Price negotiated on merit, not on competition

Conditions structured around my client's due diligence and finance timeline

No auction pressure, no deadline panic, no bidding blind

The result: two adjoining sites, in one line, ready for an apartment development in a suburb where land supply is genuinely scarce.

My client is based in Townsville. He didn't fly down for inspections, didn't chase agents, and didn't compete with anyone. That's the job - I do the searching, the site analysis, and the negotiating, and he gets a development-ready outcome.

With over 6 years in property development behind me, I look at every site the way a developer does: What can actually be built here, what the planning scheme allows, and where the risks sit. That's the difference between buying a property and buying an opportunity.

Congratulations to my client. Excited to watch this one come out of the ground.

If you're a builder or developer looking for sites in Greater Brisbane - especially the ones that never get advertised - send me a message with the word SITE and I'll be in touch.

Brisbane’s property market is cooling.

But, not collapsing.

Here’s the latest update I’m watching and why it still matters for buyers and investors.

Brisbane has had a strong run, but the latest data shows momentum has eased.

Values are still up 14.8% over 12 months, yet the market slipped 0.6% in July and 0.6% over the quarter.

That’s a big shift.

Especially after the pace seen earlier this year.

For buyers, that can mean more breathing room.

For sellers, it’s a reminder that pricing strategy matters more than ever.

I’ve broken down the latest Brisbane house and unit market update on my website.

2026 Federal Budget

Property Rules Just Changed

The 2026 Federal Budget just changed the rules on property investment.

Most investors are focused on the headlines about negative gearing and capital gains tax.

But here’s what actually matters:

Negative gearing now applies to new housing only.
New CGT rules start 1 July 2027.
A 30% minimum tax on capital gains applies.

First-home buyers may face less investor competition.
Brisbane stays strong. Supply is still tight.

We're not facing a crash.
It’s a market rebalancing.

If you’re an investor, you need to rethink your after-tax returns.
If you’re an owner-occupier, this could be your opening.

I broke down what the Federal Budget 2026 means for property buyers and investors in my latest article.

I witnessed something fascinating - and a little shocking toady,

at an auction in Hawthorne.

Two bidders were competing.
The highest bid sat at $1.5M.

The real estate agent made a quick phone call, likely to the seller for instructions - then walked straight back to the top bidder.

Without any new bid from the other side, the highest bidder suddenly increased their own offer by $25K to $1.525M.

And just like that, the agent announced: “We’re on the market and selling!”

Translation? The bidder effectively bid against themselves - persuaded by the selling agent who, of course, is paid to get the highest possible price for the seller.

Here’s the twist…

The bidder who fell for this wasn’t an emotional first‑home buyer.

They were a Buyers Agent.

I overheard them mention they had to rush off to the next auction because they were representing multiple clients that day.

It made me wonder: How much focus and negotiation power do buyers lose when their “representative” is spread that thin?

Auctions move fast, and subtle pressure from selling agents can cost buyers tens of thousands.
Especially when their Buyers Agent isn’t 100% in their corner.

The lesson? Work with someone who represents only you - who takes the time to prepare, strategise, and protect your position under pressure.

Because when the gavel falls, that’s when experience, focus, and integrity truly count.

👇 Have you ever seen a bidder win the property but lose financially in the process?

Against the Odds

Brisbane Prices Keep Climbing - Why?

Another rate rise.
Global uncertainty.
Rising costs everywhere.

And yet… Brisbane’s property market just keeps pushing up.

In March, the median house price hit $1,207,718 — up 1.7% for the month and 18.5% over the past year.
That’s a $31,737 gain in just 30 days, according to Cotality.

Why?
Because the fundamentals haven’t changed.

Listings are 18% lower than last year.
Demand remains strong with ongoing population inflows.
And buyers still see Brisbane as a safe, high-quality place to live and invest.

Even higher fuel prices and cost-of-living pressures haven’t slowed the momentum.

Don’t sit on the sidelines waiting for “perfect timing.”
Instead, refine your strategy, do your homework, and look for long-term value where others hesitate.

That’s where the real opportunities are emerging.

Brisbane Buyers!

Main Roads = FOMO Trap?

I see it weekly at auctions.

Homes on Capalaba Road. Busy connectors. High traffic.

They sell. Fast.

But is this smart... or just fear of missing out?

The Discount Game
Main road houses? 10-40% cheaper. $200k+ savings. Walk to shops. Easy commute.

Sounds good. Right?

The Catch
Noise. Pollution. Kid safety. Slower resale. Experts warn: growth lags quiet streets.

Brisbane 2026: Low stock pushes compromises. But don't settle.

My Take (After 4 Years as Buyers Agent)
Off-Market is king. Quiet gems. No auction wars.

Australia’s Property Market Isn’t Slowing

It’s Accelerating!

While many expected things to cool off this year, property prices are doing the opposite — and the growth is gaining momentum.

📈 National prices rose 0.5% in February, the fastest pace in four years.
🏠 Up 9.1% over the past 12 months, with the median dwelling price now around $897,000 — roughly $90,000 higher than a year ago.
💰 The combined capital city median just crossed $1 million for the first time.

Here’s what’s interesting:

Brisbane, Adelaide, and Hobart are driving the strongest gains, according to PropTrack .

Units are outperforming houses, as affordability pushes buyers toward value.

Tight stock levels continue to fuel bidding wars, especially among first-home buyers and investors chasing entry-level opportunities.

Sydney and Melbourne are steady — but Brisbane’s market still has runway. With ultra-low listings and high demand, properties priced well don’t stay on the market for long.

💡 If you’re an investor or home buyer eyeing Brisbane, understanding where the heat is now can make all the difference.

And a massive 54% below pre-pandemic levels.

Making the search even more stressful and frustrating.
