Buyers target Moreton Bay suburbs

Three Moreton Bay suburbs have made Queensland’s top 10 for house sales in the first quarter this year, according to InfoTrack data.

Caboolture has retained top spot from the final quarter of 2025 beating Springfield Lakes, up one place to second and Buderim, up two to third.

Morayfield has slipped from second to sixth, while Burpengary remains in eighth place. Kallangur has dropped out of the top 10.

However, InfoTrack’s latest property Market Update, from January 1-March 31, shows buyers are increasingly looking to Brisbane’s commuter corridors.

“Buyers are looking for larger blocks and better value within commuting distance of Brisbane,” InfoTrack’s Chief Operating Officer, Lee Bailie said.

“Emerging outer suburbs like Caboolture, Morayfield, Burpengary, Springfield Lakes, and Redbank Plains are seeing significant demand. These corridors are becoming key growth areas in early 2026.”

The report also shows Maryborough continues to draw interest, Russell Island entered the rankings for the first time.

Detached homes remained the dominant property choice for Queensland buyers, accounting for 60.23 per cent of all property sales. Units held 24.83 per cent of the market share and vacant land at 14.94 per cent.

“Queensland’s property market remains strong and adaptable,” Mr Bailie said.

“Buyers who are looking for houses are being strategic, choosing emerging outer suburbs, regional towns, or coastal locations where they can get more space and value without sacrificing connectivity or lifestyle.”
