In this episode of the Brisbane Property Podcast Scott and Melinda talk about auctions in Brisbane, to help you understand what's changed and how auctions are becoming not only popular but actually quite successful. Brisbane hasn't always typically been the auction capital, but with clearance rates in other states falling, we are definitely not seeing this in Brisbane. It is evident that auctions are becoming more of a trend here for sellers as the preferred method of sale. For sellers, Auction provides a lot more certainty with the purchase terms being cash unconditional, but we help you understand how this method of sale can be an advantage for the property purchaser as well.

We are going to look at both short-term and long-term growth so get your pens out ready take down some notes. The annual 12 month growth for greater Brisbane in the housing market is 22.2% but we can tell you that the number 10 spot was almost double that growth that Brisbane experienced as a whole.

We go back in time once again, to help listeners understand how and why Brisbane cannot be compared to Sydney and Melbourne, and we cover how social class distribution has worked in Brisbane over previous years. We cover the way Brisbane has changed since the mid 1900's, to become the city that it is today.  We also discuss the significant events that caused the population to move into different areas around the city in the years of our recent history.

We get a lot of enquiry from property buyers wanting to understand what they can afford to buy in Brisbane, so we decided to create an episode on property prices around the city.  We have focussed on the Brisbane City Council region and have selected 15 Brisbane suburbs that sit along the train network lines. In this episode we will share the median price changes in these suburbs over the last 3 months to help you understand property values a little more, and also to highlight the changes that have occurred in property values in recent months. There is a big disclaimer at the start of this episode, because we are reporting on median values, and we highlight the importance of understanding how a median value is determined and how compositional bias and low sales volumes can impact this data. This is critical for all listeners to understand.  We never recommend making purchasing decisions off changes in median data trends alone. We hope this episode adds some value to those looking to understand more about property values in the Brisbane City council region and the recent price growth changes that have occurred over the last 3 months in these locations.

The residential market in Brisbane has been in a rapid period of growth in months. Prices are escalating every week and with buyers who have been missing out, we are seeing that they are becoming even more eager to secure a property with every week that passes by.  Buyers are even taking big risks just so that their offers are competitive. We are seeing buyers dropping out the finance clause and even eliminating the condition that allows them the security of a post-purchase building and pest inspection.  This leads to the question … how long is this buyer frenzy likely to continue and when might the Brisbane Property Market start to slow down? This is what we cover in this episode.   Learn more about your hosts, Scott & Melinda Jennison, at www.streamlineproperty.com.au

In this Episode we have invited Jonathan Bell back from Bell Estate Agents to provide us with an update on what is happening in the Brisbane Rental Market. We last spoke to Jonathan in August 2020, at the peak of the pandemic, when there were some "at risk" areas in terms of rental vacancies throughout Brisbane.  Now Jonathan tells us what is happening on the ground, which direction rents are heading and the current state of supply and demand for rental housing through our City. This is an episode not to be missed for property investors who own an investment in Brisbane, or who are considering getting into the market in the near future.   Learn more about your hosts, Scott & Melinda Jennison, at www.streamlineproperty.com.au   You can also get in contact with Jonathan Bell or his team at https://www.bellestateagents.com.au/  

If you are actively searching in Brisbane right now, you may have already come across a new way to buy property in our great City. Some certified Real Estate Agents are now selling through a process called Flexible Terms Online Auctions and as a buyer you need to be familiar with this process for success in the current market. In today's Episode we discuss how you will know if this process is being used by an Agent, what you need to do as a buyer to ensure you don't miss out on a property being sold this way, and what the process is for buying property is using this method.
