January 2026 Brisbane Market Update: Houses vs Units, Supply Crisis & What Buyers Must Know

Описание: Brisbane’s property market did not ease into 2026 the way many expected.

In this January 2026 Brisbane Market Update, Melinda Jennison from Streamline Property Buyers breaks down what’s really happening with listings, buyer demand, house prices, unit performance, rental growth and vacancy rates — and why Brisbane continues to behave differently from Sydney and Melbourne.

Despite January typically being a quieter month, supply remains tight, days on market are fast, and price growth has continued across both houses and units. Units are currently outperforming houses, driven by affordability pressure, first home buyers and investor demand — but as always, not all assets are equal.

In this update, we cover:
00:00 Intro
00:46 Brisbane listing volumes and why low supply matters
01:21 Sales volumes vs real buyer demand
01:55 Days on market and clearance trends

10:04 Outro

If you're buying in Brisbane — particularly from interstate — understanding the city’s unique supply dynamics, owner-occupier demand, and affordability pressures is critical. Brisbane does not simply “follow” Sydney and Melbourne cycles.
