Property Trends
In Q4 2024, Bremer Valley recorded a median house price of $725,000 and a median vacant land price of $314,000. This represents a growth of 23.9% for houses and 25.6% for vacant land in the past 12 months to Q4 2024. Total sales declined in the past 12 months, by -27.5% for houses (to 50 sales in Q4 2024) and sharply dropped by -83.6% for vacant land (to only 10 sales in Q4 2024). This suggests a clear undersupplied market for both property types, especially vacant land, creating a buffer against higher interest rates. Thus, now is an ideal time for owners to capitalise on their investments. There is a high number of new houses and units planned; however, these needs to be constructed and will take time.
Project Development
The Ipswich Local Council (LGA) will see approximately $2.0B of projects commencing construction in 2025. Specific in Bremer Valley / Rosewood there are only land lots (127) in the pipeline, and a small number of units (61) in a nearby area. This is not enough to answer current demand. Thus, house prices are likely to increase further.
Rental Market & Growth
House rental yields in Bremer Valley was 3.9% as of December 2024, which is higher than Brisbane Metro (3.2%). This is paired with a 10.0% growth in median house rental price in the past 12 months to Q4 2024, to $550 per week, and a -14.9% decline (to only 16 rentals in Q4 2024) in the number of houses rented. The unit rental market showed the same pattern, of higher rental prices and a smaller number of units rented. There is an undersupplied rental market in Bremer Valley, which is beneficial to investors.
Vacancy Rates & Property Investment
Bremer Valley recorded a vacancy rate of 0.6% in December 2024, well below Ipswich LGA’s and Brisbane Metro’s 1.2%. Vacancy rates have decreased in the past 12 months, suggesting an even tighter rental market. Furthermore, a 0.6% vacancy rate is well below the Real Estate Institution of Australia’s healthy benchmark of 3.0%, indicating quicker occupancy of rental properties. Although property sale prices in the area have increased, it is still more affordable than Brisbane Metro; and with a lower vacancy rate Bremer Valley is an attractive investment alternative.
