Southeast Queensland growth corridors remain attractive
Queensland’s housing market remains dynamic, with consistent performers like Caboolture and Pimpama now sharing the spotlight with rising stars such as Morayfield. The emergence of new suburbs in the top 10 suggests that first homebuyers and investors are broadening their search to secure value in a competitive market.
Morayfield up to #3
Morayfield climbed from #6 in Q4 2024 to #3 in Q1 2025. Its rise reflects growing appeal among buyers seeking affordable family homes within commuting distance of Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.
Caboolture, Burpengary and Pimpama stay strong
Caboolture and Burpengary maintained their positions at #1 and #4, with Pimpama dropping slightly from #5 to #7. All remain high on buyer wish-lists, particularly for those targeting growth corridors in Southeast Queensland.
Redbank Plains maintains momentum
Holding steady in the top 5, Redbank Plains sales were only slightly down from Q4 2024. Its consistency highlights continued interest in Ipswich-region suburbs with new housing estates and accessibility to Brisbane.
New entrants reflect broader buyer exploration
Kallangur and Ormeau are brand new entrants to the top ten, indicating buyers are increasingly exploring outer-metro and regional suburbs with growth potential and more accessible price points.

The Gold Coast remains attractive for units and townhouses in Q1 2025
New data from Queensland’s residential unit and townhouse market reveals evolving buyer interest across key inner-city and coastal suburbs. The presence of new contenders in the top 10 highlights broader buyer exploration in the Queensland market.
Brisbane City climbs from #4 to #1
Brisbane City jumped up the rankings to claim the #1 spot, signalling renewed confidence in the CBD market. This may be driven by increased investor activity, urban migration, or an uplift in apartment stock.
Surfers Paradise stays strong at #2
Surfers Paradise remains in #2 in Q4 2024. Its regular appearance in the top 10 reflects strong and sustained interest in beachside living, high-rise convenience, and the lifestyle appeal of the Gold Coast.
Southport drops from #1 to #5
Previously the top-performing suburb, Southport slipped to #5 in Q1 2025. While still performing well the top 10, this change suggests buyer attention may be shifting to nearby suburbs or areas with new development activity.
West End drops from #3 to #9
West End saw a notable decline in ranking, sliding from #3 to #10 between Q4 2024 and Q1 2025. While still attracting buyer interest, this shift could reflect changing availability, pricing or a redirection of demand to other urban-fringe locations.
