Great feedback like this is what it’s all about for us at EKR Property.

Ed recently worked with first-time investors who were time-poor and looking for the right guidance without feeling pressured.

As always, Ed's focus is to provide clear information, build confidence, and give clients space to make informed decisions that felt right for them.

Thank you Georgia! We really appreciate the trust you and your partner placed in us and the kind words you've shared.

Here's why doing your proper due diligence and having the right strategy in place really matters.

Ed is on site today checking in on a property he recently secured for a client.

The original asking price was around $1.2M, but after identifying some cosmetic work was needed, he negotiated it down to $1.145M, creating an immediate upside for the client.

From there, it’s all about ex*****on.

He organised early access so trades could quote before settlement, and they were ready to get started a day after settlement. That means less vacancy and getting the property income-ready sooner.

It’s a simple approach, but it makes a big difference to the final result.

$173,500 - that’s how much Brisbane house prices jumped in just 12 months.

The median house price is now around $1.236m, with overall values pushing past $1.08m.

At the same time:
• Units are up 20.5% in a year
• Brisbane is now about $241K more expensive than Melbourne

But here’s what’s changing.

PropTrack's May 2026 data now points to a clear slowdown, with rate rises starting to bite, though a sharp downturn isn’t expected given the tight supply, strong population growth and a resilient jobs market.

Instead, there's a shift in growth.

More affordable markets within reach of Brisbane, such as Ipswich (+19.4%), Logan - Beaudesert (+17.4%), and Moreton Bay - North (+16.8%), are outperforming the capital city over the last year.

That’s the difference in this next phase.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's EKR Property's take on the SEQ market and what's next:

→ Due to basic supply-and-demand economics, prices will not fall off a cliff in the short- to medium-term.

→ New houses have not been, and cannot be, built fast enough to keep up with demand.

→ Build costs continue to rise, while build quality decreases, and despite proposed tax changes, I still see long-term appeal, growth and value in buying existing property on a larger parcel of land.

→ Buy in established suburbs where land is scarce, hence any new homes are being built on existing blocks, and the regentrification helps with value and growth, as the area becomes more appealing.

→ Established homes offer uniqueness and land value - unlike new estates where properties are uniform, tightly packed, and potentially investor-heavy (due to upfront negative gearing benefits), limiting long-term appeal and growth. Buyer beware!

→ The value is in the land; they are not making any more of it, and the property depreciates.

→ Remember: cash flow keeps you in the market, but capital growth gets you out of the market.

There’s been a lot of noise around the recent budget and negative gearing.

But it was never an investment strategy to begin with. It’s a tax outcome, not the foundation.

When we look at property investing, it always comes back to the same fundamentals:
• Can you hold it long term?
• Are you buying quality land in the right location?
• Does the asset stack up beyond short-term incentives?

Policy will change. Governments will change. Markets will adjust.

What shouldn’t change is your focus.

Short-term incentives can be attractive, but they don’t replace long-term growth. And in some cases, they can actually push investors toward assets that won’t perform as expected over time.

The strategy we apply, and use ourselves, stays consistent:
buy well-located property, prioritise land, and hold it long enough for compounding to do its job.

The goal isn’t to save a bit on tax this year.
It’s to build real wealth over time.

Happy investing.

For investors, this is less about fear and more about planning, structure and timing.

That’s why a qualified investment strategy matters. Understanding how policy, structure and asset selection work together is critical, especially in a changing tax environment.

This is a good reminder that the best opportunities don’t always happen under the hammer.

Our client, a first‑time investor from Brisbane, wanted this Moreton Bay Region property, but pre‑approval wasn’t through in time, meaning bidding at auction wasn’t an option. Rather than walking away, Ed still attended the auction to see the outcome.

Auctions rely on buyer competition and momentum. When that doesn’t materialise, the balance of power can shift quickly. In this case, there was no competition. The auction stalled, and the property was passed in, which created a window.

By moving immediately post‑auction, Ed was able to negotiate directly with the selling agent, reset expectations, and structure a deal with a short finance clause. After further negotiation the following day, the offer was accepted.

For the investor, this meant securing an asset they couldn’t bid on, while still managing risk and protecting their capital position. Another bonus is, we managed to secure a tenant pre-settlement.

The asset fundamentals were strong:
🔸 Purchase price: $1,256,000
🔸 Renovated 4 bed | 2 bath | 4 car (including side access for parking)
🔸 645sqm block
🔸 Location: Moreton Bay Region, north of Brisbane
🔸 Buyer: First‑time investor from Brisbane
🔸 Rent achieved: $950pw (tenant secured pre‑settlement)

From an investment perspective, the market context supported the decision:
▫️ Median rent (4‑bed): $660pw
▫️ Gross yield: 3.93%
▫️ Vacancy rate: 0.4% (Mar 2026)
▫️ 20‑year avg growth: 5.25%
▫️ 2025 growth: 10.30%
▫️ 2026 growth YTD: 13.9%

Key takeaway is that auctions aren’t the endpoint. With the right strategy, negotiation skills, and market understanding, post‑auction conditions can present some of the strongest opportunities.

Brisbane has recently been named the best city in the world to live in - and for property investors, that's worth paying attention to.

According to the Compare the Market Best Cities to Raise a Family Index 2026, Brisbane scored highly for things that really matter: affordability, safety, green space and lifestyle. Compared to cities like Sydney and London, families here are spending less each month while enjoying more space, better amenities and a great quality of life.

So why does this matter for investors?

Because when a city is easier to live in and more affordable, it naturally attracts families, professionals and long-term renters.

That’s exactly what we’re seeing on the ground - strong interstate demand, very tight vacancy rates and increased competition in well-located Brisbane and South East Queensland suburbs.

Brisbane’s lifestyle has always been a drawcard. Now it’s getting global recognition - and that tends to shine a spotlight on property opportunities.

The key, as always, is knowing where to buy, what to buy, and how to position yourself for long-term growth in a moving market.

If Brisbane or SEQ is on your radar, having the right strategy matters more than ever.
