As capital of the fastest growing and most liveable state in the country, Brisbane has the demand investors need to see excellent returns, and a climate which keeps smiles on residents faces all year round.

The Pacific Highway leads south to the Gold Coast and its well-known surf beaches. North is the seaside town of Redcliffe, the rainforest and picturesque countryside of Pine Rivers, Caboolture and the Glasshouse Mountains. Bribie Island offers the first surf beach to the north. The Sunshine Coast towns and hinterland are popular holiday spots. Brisbane, the capital city of Queensland, is midway up the east coast of Australia - 27.5oS, 153oE.

Brisbane Rental Returns
Rental returns on Brisbane real estate have remained reasonably stable throughout the property boom, and vacancy rates are now actually tightening, despite the number of new CBD apartment buildings at, or near completion. REIQ figures show that the rental market is actually under-supplied by around 3%. Queenslands robust economy (underwritten by a plethora of natural resources and strong housing demand) should prevent property prices from falling as they have in the southern states.
