We get a lot of enquiry from property buyers wanting to understand what they can afford to buy in Brisbane, so we decided to create an episode on property prices around the city. We have focussed on the Brisbane City Council region and have selected 15 Brisbane suburbs that sit along the train network lines. In this episode we will share the median price changes in these suburbs over the last 3 months to help you understand property values a little more, and also to highlight the changes that have occurred in property values in recent months. There is a big disclaimer at the start of this episode, because we are reporting on median values, and we highlight the importance of understanding how a median value is determined and how compositional bias and low sales volumes can impact this data. This is critical for all listeners to understand. We never recommend making purchasing decisions off changes in median data trends alone. We hope this episode adds some value to those looking to understand more about property values in the Brisbane City council region and the recent price growth changes that have occurred over the last 3 months in these locations.

This week's episode focuses on the median price changes at a suburb level in Brisbane over the last 12 months. We dissect the Brisbane Housing Market and name some of the underperforming suburbs over the last 12 months and then disclose the suburbs that have experienced the highest levels of growth throughout Greater Brisbane. Because this episode is based on data only, we also provide some insights into why this information must be interpreted with caution. Many buyers rely solely on data to make investment decisions, however, we discuss why caution needs to be exercised if this is an individual's approach. Can you guess which suburb has seen the greatest growth in housing values over the last 12 months? Tune in to find out more.

Every day we speak to property investors who have a limited understanding of what type of investment strategy might be right for them. The main problem that we see, is that individuals who are looking to invest in property, often don't know what they don't know. So they often turn to others to seek advice. It does make a big difference in WHO they turn to for help and advice. In this episode, marking our 1 year anniversary for the Brisbane Property Podcast, we discuss the top 5 places that property investors should NOT go for property investment advice. We also give examples of why, to help listeners understand the importance of personalised investment advice. Learn more about your hosts Scott and Melinda Jennison at www.streamlineproperty.com.au.
