Brisbane Is Booming — and Melbourne Is Finally Turning the Corner | Full Market Breakdown

Описание: In this exclusive webinar, Tim Graham (Hotspotting) and Daniel Petersen (CEO, iBuyNew) unpack the two biggest stories in Australian real estate right now: Brisbane’s continued surge and Melbourne’s long-awaited revival.

Over the past few years, Brisbane has been fuelled by powerful demand drivers — record population growth, ultra-tight vacancy rates, major infrastructure investment, and the transformational lead-up to the 2032 Olympics. Meanwhile, after a period of stagnation, negative sentiment, and heavy rental legislation changes, Melbourne is now showing clear and sustained signs of recovery.

In this replay, Tim and Dan take a deep dive into:

🔥 Brisbane: Momentum, Undersupply & Olympic Tailwinds

Why Brisbane remains far from its peak despite four years of rapid price growth

How population growth has doubled compared to the decade prior

Severe housing undersupply — with apartment delivery sitting at only 25% of required levels

The $200B+ infrastructure pipeline reshaping SEQ

Why the 2032 Olympics could accelerate Brisbane into a globally recognised city.

📉 Melbourne: From Stagnation to Revival

What caused Melbourne’s flat performance: COVID fallout, rapid rate hikes, outbound migration & property tax changes

How negative sentiment and investor sell-offs created short-term oversupply

Why the tide has turned: renewed population growth, rental yields climbing to 5%+, and eight months of consistent price growth

Where sales momentum is strongest: City of Melbourne, Frankston, Hume & key middle-ring suburbs.

🏙 Units vs Houses — The New Reality

Why units are now outperforming houses in growth and rental yield across most capitals

The rising demand from first-home buyers, downsizers, lifestyle seekers & new migrants

How affordability pressures are reshaping buyer behaviour nationwide
