According to recent data from Place Projects, Brisbane is currently a two-speed property market. House prices have been showing moderate to strong growth for the past few years, while apartments have been struggling due to supply and demand issues, as well as tighter regulations on lending. However, some areas of Brisbane are outshining the others, with some suburbs showing huge growth.
