1. A promising start to 2022 for the housing market in Brisbane
While growth in housing values in other Australian cities has slowed in the first months of 2022, Brisbane has bucked this trend. According to CoreLogic, Brisbane’s housing values grew by 6.6% in the three months to March, making it the strongest performing capital city for that period.

3. Recent floods and the housing market in Brisbane
The floods of February 2022 affected more than 15,000 homes across Brisbane. What impact will this have on Brisbane’s property market going forward?
Dialling back to 2011, the last time there was major flooding in the Queensland capital, gives us some insight. According to Domain, historical data from Brisbane’s flooded suburbs shows median house prices in some pockets fell in the year after the 2011 floods. However, a decade later, Brisbane’s median house prices surged by over 100% in those same areas.
So, while there are good reasons to be cautious about buying properties in flood-prone Brisbane suburbs, the Queensland capital is a very resilient housing market.
4. Will the housing market crash in 2022 in Australia?
Many analysts are saying that the housing boom in Sydney and Melbourne is over. However, they are not making the same forecasts when it comes to property market predictions in Brisbane in 2022.
For certain, rising inflation and interest rate hikes will have an impact on Brisbane’s housing market overall. Yet, there are many markets within the sprawling capital, separated by property type, price point and geographic location.
