Brisbane House Prices – What to expect in 2023

For potential owner-occupiers and investors looking to buy property in Brisbane, prediction of property prices are critical. In this guide, I will provide an inside look at house prices trends expected for 2023 in Brisbane as well as tips to help you make informed decisions and get the best possible deal.

Identifying pressures on the housing market

Knowing the external pressures on Brisbane’s housing market is essential to understand future price trends. These pressures can be categorised into two main groups: economic and local. Economic pressures include factors such as interest rates, inflation, job market trends, consumer confidence and major economic events. Local pressures include location-specific factors such as access to transportation networks, zoning laws and development plans. By being aware of both sets of pressures you will have a more accurate understanding of where house prices are likely to head in 2023.

Economic indicators and consumer sentiment can give us insight into the public’s perception of economic stability. Consumer confidence will return, even it may take some time and house prices will likely be on an upward trend. Local factors are also key in determining house prices – high number of private and government investment, low number of rental availabilities, overseas and interstate migration and the low unemployment rate these and others are indicator for a positive  trend in Brisbane house prices.

Finally, market cycles should always be taken into account as perceived risk can affect investor confidence and impact buyer activity across all markets, not just housing.

In order to successfully predict the trajectory of Brisbane house prices in 2023, it is important to consider the wider economic context and identify potential pressures on the housing market. Sound economic fundamentals and high employment figures, both nationally and within Queensland, point towards a positive environment for house price growth. Population size has an impact on the number of buyers in the market as well as a limited pool of available properties.

Taking all these factors into consideration, Brisbane offers many signals which are likely to lead to an increase in house prices in 2023. The high number of interested potential buyers at house openings over the first three weekends of this year and the relative low number of listing reinforce this prediction.

Many buyers, owner-occupiers and investors sitting on the fence being influenced by main stream media and other institutions pushing negative sensation who have no understanding about the Brisbane property market.  You have to do your own research or you can seek experts’ advice from a Brisbane Buyers Agent like Buyers Scout who are on the ground and understand the local market.
