Brisbane has officially overtaken Melbourne to become Australia\u2019s second-most expensive capital city<\/strong>, marking a significant shift in the national property landscape, according to Brisbane Times<\/em>. The city\u2019s rise has been driven by double-digit house price growth and a rapidly strengthening unit market, with median values reaching record highs across multiple suburbs.<\/p>\n Brisbane Times<\/em> reports that suburbs such as Springwood\u2013Kingston and Cleveland\u2013Stradbroke have hit new price peaks, while outer-ring unit markets including Loganlea\u2013Carbrook and Beenleigh recorded gains of up to 31 per cent<\/strong>. Strong population growth, constrained housing supply, Olympic-related confidence, and rising investor activity \u2014 with investors now accounting for around 42 per cent of buyers<\/strong> \u2014 have been key drivers of the surge.<\/p>\n The rare riverfront property, at 17 Julius Street in New Farm, became Brisbane\u2019s most expensive home. AFR <\/em><\/p>\n While growth is expected to moderate slightly in 2026, Brisbane Times<\/em> notes that affordability pressures and limited new supply are likely to persist. These conditions underscore the increasing importance of modular and offsite housing<\/strong> as a scalable way to deliver new homes faster in high-growth markets.<\/p>\n In this context, AUSMOD20K<\/strong>, which aims to deliver 20,000 affordable modular homes across Australia<\/strong>, aligns closely with the urgent need to expand housing supply in cities like Brisbane, where traditional construction continues to struggle to keep pace with demand.<\/p>\n If you would like to<\/strong><\/p>\n Become a partner of the AUSMOD20K program, please click this link: Partner<\/a><\/p>\n Become a supplier for the AUSMOD20K program, please click this link: Supplier<\/a><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/materialedgegroup.au\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/01\/z7409628983967_c6f4442b29d57a566dd4ea54e7166e30.jpg.webp\")
