3 consecutive rate rises. What does it actually mean for the property market? 📈

While higher interest rates make borrowing more expensive, they also reduce borrowing capacity for buyers.

In many cases, three consecutive 0.25% rate rises can reduce borrowing power by around 7–10% depending on a buyer’s income, debts and financial position.

From an agent’s perspective, that’s why we’re seeing a stronger focus on cash buyers and shorter finance clauses, simply to reduce the risk of contracts crashing during the finance period.

The market is still moving, but strategy and buyer quality are becoming more important than ever.

Some property types perform much better in strong markets than they do in softer ones.

Flood-affected homes, busy roads, unrenovated properties, and apartments without car parks are traditionally the first homes buyers remove from their shortlist when conditions change.

Right now though, Inner Brisbane stock levels remain extremely low, meaning buyers still have limited choice, and that’s helping these properties perform much better than they normally would.

In real estate, timing matters. Especially when market conditions begin to shift.

📉 Is the market slowing… or is this just a temporary pause?

Over the past month we’ve seen a noticeable drop in open home attendances and buyer enquiry levels across Brisbane’s inner-city apartment market.

But is it a genuine shift in the market, or simply the result of long weekends, wet weather and buyers waiting on clarity from the Federal Budget?

With speculation surrounding negative gearing and Capital Gains Tax changes, many buyers may have been sitting on the sidelines waiting to see what comes next.

Now that the budget has been delivered, the next few weeks should give us a much clearer indication of where the market is heading.

Blip or trend? We’re about to find out.

The 4006 market is shifting, but strong buyers are still active.

For the first time in years, open home numbers across Fortitude Valley and Newstead have eased slightly following holidays, interest rate rises, and the latest Federal Budget announcements.

What’s changed is buyer behaviour.

Buyers are becoming more selective, more informed, and more patient — but they are still competing when presentation, pricing, and strategy align.

The campaigns performing best right now are the ones building confidence and removing uncertainty.

This market still rewards quality, but strategy matters more than ever.

🌴 Will the latest tax changes actually impact Brisbane property prices?

While negative gearing and budget reforms are dominating headlines, the bigger drivers of Brisbane’s market remain the same — limited housing supply, strong population growth, and buyer demand.

What may have a greater impact moving forward is interest rates, borrowing capacity, and buyer confidence over the next 6 to 12 months.

If you’re wondering what these changes could mean for your property plans, now is the time to get informed.

105sqm North-Facing Renovated Apartment — Vacant & Ready 🔑

There’s something about a north-facing apartment with great airflow and natural light that just feels right.

Positioned on Level 2, this renovated residence offers a rare dual-balcony layout, with a Juliet balcony overlooking the pool at the rear and a large entertaining balcony at the front.

Fresh flooring, updated bathrooms, vacant possession, and a move-in ready feel make this an ideal opportunity for owner occupiers wanting to secure a quality inner-city home without the renovation headaches.

All of this just moments from King Street precinct, the RNA Showgrounds, Olympic infrastructure, cafes, restaurants, and transport.

📍 212/575 Gregory Terrace, Fortitude Valley

Timing matters 📈

I’ve been speaking with a number of owners planning to sell later this year but right now might actually be the opportunity.

Stock levels are incredibly low, which means:
👉 Less competition
👉 More buyer attention
👉 Stronger enquiry and inspection numbers

And ultimately… better outcomes.

Waiting for the “traditional” peak periods often just means more listings competing for the same buyers.

If you’re considering selling this year, it’s worth having the conversation now.

Presentation Matters

Buyer demand is still strong — but expectations have changed.

Move-in ready, well-presented homes are attracting multiple offers.
Poorly presented properties are sitting longer and underperforming.

We’re seeing this firsthand — including a recent building record sale on King St, Bowen Hills after working with tenants to improve presentation before launch.

If you’re considering selling this year, preparation is everything.
Start early. It makes all the difference.
