“Total listing volumes in Brisbane are trending lower than any other capital city market in our country,” it reports.
Brisbane’s supply of properties for sale continues to lag behind historical levels, whereas Sydney and Melbourne are almost back to normal.
“This helps to explain why Brisbane has continued to see price growth in recent months at the same time as Sydney and Melbourne property price growth has stalled,” it reports.
“When there is low supply, there is less choice for buyers. It creates more urgency, and there is a real fear of missing out.”
