The saying “timing is everything” has never been more relevant in South East Queensland’s property market. House and land packages are rising at unprecedented rates, and buyers who wait risk paying significantly more in the near future.
Across suburbs such as Ripley, Springfield, Flagstone, Greenbank, and Morayfield, the growth in property values over the past five years has been dramatic, proving that acting sooner rather than later is critical.
💥 Prices Are Soaring
Recent data shows house and land packages have surged across SEQ:
| Suburb | 2020 (Approx.) | 2025 (Current) | 5-Year Change |
| Ripley | $550,000 | $990,000 | +80% |
| Flagstone | $389,900 | $850,000 | +118% |
| Greenbank | $419,000 | $900,000+ | +115%+ |
| Morayfield | $480,000 | $950,000 | +87%+ |
| Springfield | $510,000 | $1,000,000+ | +96%+ |
The prices mentioned above are based on our past packages in that area.
The numbers speak for themselves. What cost $389,900 in Flagstone five years ago now costs $850,000. In Springfield, prices have nearly doubled from $510,000 to over $1 million. This kind of growth highlights the importance of entering the market now — not later.
What was once an affordable $450K house-and-land package in 2020 now sits closer to $900K–$1M across key SEQ suburbs. That’s massive growth — and it’s still continuing.
If you’re waiting for prices to drop, you may be waiting a long time.
Building and Land Costs Keep Rising
Construction and land costs have steadily climbed, with no sign of slowing down. Materials, labour, and compliance costs have pushed new home builds higher each year — so locking in a price today could save you tens of thousands compared to waiting another year.
High Demand, Limited Supply
Flagstone, Ripley, and Springfield remain some of the most in-demand growth hubs in South East Queensland. Lifestyle appeal, modern infrastructure, and continued development are driving buyer competition and keeping prices strong.
With fewer listings and more qualified buyers, well-presented homes and turnkey packages are selling fast — often before they even hit the market.
Rents Are at Record Highs
Rental demand across SEQ has never been stronger. For first home buyers and investors alike, owning property now means securing your financial future while others continue paying record-high rents.
Every month you wait could mean higher repayments and fewer options.
The Bottom Line
The question isn’t “should I buy?” — it’s “how much more will it cost if I wait?”
South East Queensland’s market continues to prove its strength — and those who act now will reap the rewards later. With population growth, lifestyle appeal, and ongoing investment across key suburbs, the opportunities today could be tomorrow’s regrets.
Don’t wait. Buy now, secure your future, and make the most of the opportunities the SEQ property market offers.
