Bond-lodgement medians from the © The State of Queensland Residential Tenancies Authority (CC BY 3.0 AU), Mar 2026 quarter (new tenancies). "Low sample" = the count is masked or small at source; treat those medians with care.
At around 2.5% gross, rent barely registers against the $1,430,000 median — this is an end-value-led market. A feasibility in Brisbane stands or falls on the sale price of the finished product, and holding costs bite harder while you build. Median growth of +13.9% year-on-year on 3847 sales reads as steady rather than speculative — a reasonable backdrop for a scheme that still has to work at today's end values. Brisbane sits at #33 of 33 in the Queensland Opportunity Index — it qualifies on data depth, but the yield-led scoring places it low: prices have outrun rents, which is a profile that favours sell-down schemes over holds. Rental depth is genuine: 2219 bonds behind the headline median means the rent figure is an observed market, not a handful of tenancies. All of the above is area-level screening, not advice: a specific parcel lives or dies on zoning, overlays, frontage, and the end value of what it can actually carry.
This page is LGA-level screening. For one property — zoning, what could be built, what a developer could pay — run a GoSiteHunt site check, screen it with the free Deal Killer Checklist, or see how many units fit on a block.

Council (LGA) level — Queensland does not publish suburb-level sale prices as open data. Sale medians are detached-house sales on a QVAS contract-date basis; rents are RTA new-tenancy medians for the LGA. Indicative gross yield = headline weekly bond median × 52 ÷ sale median — a screening ratio, not a valuation input.
