🏡 MARKET SNAPSHOT MONDAY

📍 Caboolture & Moreton Bay Region

The Moreton Bay region continues to attract strong attention across Queensland, with recent reports highlighting the area as one of the state’s fastest growing property hotspots.

Caboolture remains popular with both owner occupiers and investors thanks to:
✔️ Relative affordability
✔️ Continued infrastructure growth
✔️ Easy access to Brisbane & the Sunshine Coast
✔️ Strong buyer demand across the region

As affordability pressures continue in larger metro markets, many buyers are now looking towards areas offering value, accessibility, and long-term growth potential.

With continued population growth and ongoing development throughout the Moreton Bay region, Caboolture is firmly remaining on the radar moving through 2026.

🏡 Could Negative Gearing Changes Impact Our Local Market?

There’s been a lot of discussion recently around the proposed changes to negative gearing and what this could mean for property owners, investors, buyers, and the local market moving forward.

While the reforms are still proposals at this stage, many people across the Sunshine Coast, Gympie, and Bundaberg regions are already watching closely to see how things may unfold.

I’ve put together a simple breakdown of:

✔️ What’s been proposed
✔️ What we know so far
✔️ What it could potentially mean locally
✔️ Why lifestyle demand and housing supply are still major drivers in our regional markets

One thing remains clear, property markets are influenced by many factors, not just government policy alone.
