Brisbane’s Olympic Effect

How Agents Can Leverage the Auction Advantage


Brisbane’s property market is already experiencing the Olympic effect and with the 2032 Games still years away, the momentum is only just beginning.  As a real estate agent in Brisbane, positioning your sellers now could be the key to achieving record-breaking results.

A Housing Boom Already in Motion

The scale of development is unprecedented. Northshore Hamilton will deliver 10,000 new homes while Woolloongabba adds 16,000 more - that’s 26,000 properties reshaping Brisbane’s skyline. For agents, these projects signal heightened buyer demand and a competitive landscape where strategic sales campaigns will win out.

Olympic Hotspots Driving Growth

Key inner-city areas such as Herston, Spring Hill, Bowen Hills, Fortitude Valley, and Roma Street are buzzing with activity. Infrastructure upgrades, transport enhancements, and lifestyle developments are transforming these precincts into high-demand markets.

For agents, this presents a golden opportunity:

  • More buyers searching in the right suburbs.

  • Greater urgency as investors and homebuyers compete for limited stock.

  • Premium prices driven by demand outstripping supply.

Property Values on the Rise

Since 2020, Olympic-linked suburbs have seen property prices rise as much as 116.6%, with projections pointing to a near doubling by 2032. Demand is already materialising - 72 luxury apartments are under construction in the Gabba precinct alone. Buyers aren’t waiting for the Games; they’re moving now.

Why Auctions Give Agents the Edge

In markets like this, auctions deliver results that traditional methods can’t match. By creating urgency and competition, auctions put qualified buyers head-to-head and unlock true market value.
