Where Property Experts Would Buy in Queensland for the Next Decade

Oliver Hume Chief Economist Matt Bell is among five leading property experts quoted in a News.com.au feature by journalist Elizabeth Tilley, naming the Queensland suburbs best positioned for long-term capital growth.

Strong Fundamentals Over Recent Hotspots

With the extraordinary price boom of the past decade showing signs of tapering, the experts are aligned: buyers should focus on suburbs with constrained supply, strong rental fundamentals, and relative affordability - not last cycle's top performers.

Bell's five picks span Greater Brisbane and South East Queensland - Leichhardt, Caboolture South, Eagleby, Mount Gravatt East, and Deception Bay. His standout selection is Leichhardt in Ipswich, which recorded house price growth of more than 200 per cent over the past decade, a rental yield of 3.9 per cent, and a vacancy rate of just 1.3 per cent.

What the Data Says About Brisbane's Outlook

Despite recent price growth making South East Queensland slightly less compelling than a few years ago, Bell maintained that rental yields and market fundamentals remain strong. On Caboolture South, he pointed to a median price of $832,000, annual growth of 10.8 per cent over the past decade, and 31 available listings as indicators of continued opportunity for buyers willing to look beyond the inner ring.
