    That house has a heritage overlay on it.
    I agree that Lutwyche is a lot more affordable than its reputable neighbours, and I think one of the main reasons behind that is that it is set to become a major hub full of high rises.
    Otherwise, I can't understand why it's cheaper than it's surrounds - it has excellent transport (major bus station, close to wooloowin/albion train stations), shopping facilities (3 supermarkets in the one centre), plenty of green parklands (esp Kedron Brook), only 5km from the city, and is in between the CBD and Chermside, close to RBWH, has plenty of gyms etc. It just does not make sense!!

    So whats considered "inner" these days? 15kms, 20kms? 25kms? Maybe 30kms from the CBD?

    In Sydney the Hills district people are referring to as middle ring which is 35-40km from the CBD. This is what I called the sticks back in the day. Now houses here are selling for pretty much $2M a pop.

    Currently 2021. Inner city Brisbane is still within 2km - 5km by definition.
    Who knows when it will move to 10km from CBD.

    Very simple, once most of the suburbs upto 10kms becomes greater than $900K, then automatically inner. Greater than $600K to $900K will become middle say in 15Kms range and less than $600K will become outer IMO.

    Time will definitely make the above happen as humans sneakily attach their suburbs to inner ring

    None. Those suburbs are old and roads match the houses. Hard to drive around especially at peak. The North used to be the better suburbs, now it's the South.

    All good suburbs.
    Blue chip for Brisbane
    To live I would go woollowin or clayfield near train

    But what you didn't put on your list which is better than this suburbs is Paddington and Milton. Closer to city and more going on with cafes and vibrancy. And views.

    This is utterly wrong.
    That's like saying edgecliff in Sydney is crap because too hard to get around and X Western suburb is better

    It's not as leafy and suburban. Defined by what is essentially a motorway (lutwyche road) there's just not as many pockets in there with leafy streets and renod Queenslanders which is what brings the big money. That's the reason. Not a location thing. Kedron, woollowin, Grange etc is where the houses are

    Update: The market is definitely slowing down now. I doubt that prices will fall though.

    Been getting that impression that the boom/frenzy is over. No stats to back it up though.

    With you on prices unless interest rate rises start happening. Although the government seems determined to fuel house prices, so they would probably add some more fuel if prices started to drop.

    Don’t over play the boom is over. It is just seasonal movement like any time during the year. The price is just slower than usual, my guess it will pick up again come Spring time.

    I strongly disagree.

    Still near 100 groups through some properties 10km north of Brisbane last week, ridiculous amount of offers.

    Still plenty of buyers left that will work themselves into a home eventually. Only takes 2 to tango and push prices high.

    Unless a huge amount of stock comes online I believe it’s got plenty of legs left

    Yeh, competition is still pretty high for the 8-10km range for a home in a family-friendly location for less than $900K.
    There's a steep drop in interest once you pass Keperra in the west north-west, and Everton Park in the north north-west. There's also been a drop within the 6km radius.

    Stafford is still very hot. Street records broken sales.
    When property listed are sold in the first week. It isn’t slowing down.

    Wrong time of year peeps to be declaring this over:rolleyes:..this is always the slowest time of year in Brisbane. The fact that there are some good results still coming through at this time of year shows just how hot Spring will be.

    Load up on those marshmallows :cool:
