Welcome back to another episode of the Tailored Property Wealth Podcast. In today's episode, we are sharing five affordable Brisbane suburbs. Now, some of these suburbs have grown in value in the last 12 months from all the way up to, and some of the median value of these suburbs is under 650k and there's a couple of suburbs under 750k. So let's get into it. The reason for kind of doing this episode is because there is so much noise out there that property is unaffordable and, yes, some areas are unaffordable in every single location. However, there are a lot of solutions out there for affordable suburbs if you do your research, if you know where to look. So suburb number one, bundamba, which is located in the city of Ipswich, which is in West Brisbane. Now Bundamba, the median value is $637,000, as per CoreLogic a couple of days ago when researching for this episode. Price growth in the last 12 months wait for it. 20.5% Vacancy rate as of May 2025, 0.7% and distance to the CBD 26 kilometers. So some pretty good stats for Bundamba. A lot of people think closer to the CBD 26 kilometers. So some pretty good stats for Bundamba. A lot of people think closer to the CBD. That's where the highest growth is, which is simply not always the case. We've got a really strong vacancy rate, under 1%. So if you're purchasing an investment property, for example, it's going to be rented out quite, quite quickly. City of Ipswich is going through massive amounts of gentrification, a lot of investment into the city. There's a lot of infrastructure into the city that's improving. Obviously the 2032 Olympics is improving things across the board. So that's the first suburb. Second suburb is Leichhardt and that again is in the city of Ipswich in West Brisbane. Median value $616,000. Price growth in the last 12 months 20.5% as well. Massive capital growth. Vacancy rate 0.7%. Distance to the CBD 34 kilometers. So again further to the CBD, 34 kilometers. So again further from the CBD. Still really strong performance, still really strong metrics.

Speaker 1: 2:31

These couple of suburbs out Ipswich, I guess just for location, because they are more affordable. There's a lot of retirees that are moving out of that area. They're retiring closer to the water, they're downsizing, they're looking at a unit and then there's a lot of first home buyers moving to this area because of the affordability in the city and that's really driving some of that momentum in those areas. It's a good suburb if you're a first home buyer, even if you're an investor, to be able to get in and look at affordable areas. Still, there's been a lot of talk about Brisbane and the growth and it's now more unaffordable. But you're looking in those right locations. Not everywhere is super unaffordable.

Speaker 1: 3:18

All right, suburb three we're now moving into the city of Ipswich and Eagleby. Now this is a South Brisbane suburb city of Logan, you would probably hear. Sometimes there's some negative stigmas. However, it has performed so strongly over the last five years. Median value is $676,000 and the price growth of Eagleby in the last 12 months 15.6%. Vacancy rate as of May 2025, as per SQM research, 0.5% and distance to the CBD 32 kilometers. So still over that 30 kilometer ring. But we're still getting 15% growth in the last 12 months and still really tightly held vacancies from a rental income perspective. Now, eagleby is kind of in the middle between Brisbane and the Gold Coast as well, so take your pick where you want to go to on the weekend, for example. So so far, three suburbs, 15 to 20% growth in the last 12 months. Now there's people out there who have sat on the fence and haven't done jackal because they're worried about interest rates or this and that and the property market's going to crash If you could have purchased 12 months ago and you did not. You missed out on 15% to 20% growth if you were to purchase in one of these locations Beanley City of Logan, suburb no 4, beanley Again, south Brisbane.

Speaker 1: 4:47

Median value 710,000. Price growth in the last 12 months 13.6%. Vacancy rate as per SQM research May 2025, 0.7%. And distance to the CBD 32 kilometres. So again, median value on this one up a little bit higher. Still got that capital growth double digit over 10% in the last 12 months. And still outside that 30 kilometer ring Deception Bay, north Brisbane. And the final suburb Now it is in Moreton Bay, city, council, and median value of this one is $747,000. Now I personally purchased a property in D-Bay 2021, almost four years ago I secured that property for $429,000. So for me, being able to get into that marketplace back then was very strong and seen massive capital growth.

Speaker 1: 5:47

This is another suburb with a bit of a stigma high public housing, all the rest of it. Do your due diligence and you can avoid that. However, as those suburbs start to become more expensive, it flushes out some of that lower socioeconomic presence and it really starts to gentrify. And if you kind of look in that area neighboring suburbs the median value is far higher than D-Bay and that naturally will uplift the value there close to the water. So it has seen 10% capital growth in the last 12 months. So the lowest of the five suburbs we're discussing now and that's probably a little bit because that value is a little bit higher than some of those other suburbs, because affordability comes into that growth sometimes as well, but still double digit growth. If you're getting 10 capital growth per year, that is awesome when you're always working off five percent conservative year-on-year growth. Vacancy rate may 2025 as per sqm research 0.9% and distance to CBD 31 kilometres Again outside that 30 kilometre ring, still getting capital growth and still solid in terms of vacancy rates. That's it for today Five affordable Brisbane suburbs that have seen massive capital growth in the last 12 months. Still affordable in Brisbane, in the metro location. Don't think that you are priced out of areas, because once you really look at individual areas, there are solutions to be able to still get in.
