Brisbane, Australia

As the host of the 2032 Olympics, Brisbane commands the highest infrastructure spending of any Australian city, with over AUD 30 billion earmarked for transit, venues, and urban renewal. This investment, combined with a net inflow of 15,000 residents annually from Sydney and Melbourne, is driving demand that outpaces supply. Despite this momentum, median house prices remain AUD 700,000, which is 35% lower than Sydney and 28% below Melbourne, making Brisbane the most affordable major market on the continent.
