    I would say anything walk to station which is not flood affected.

    I wonder how the roads will perform with the villa world's massive project estimated to accommodate 400 families...

    That’s a huge amount of extra people. I guess the ‘powers that be’ would be hoping some of them will leave the cars at home and catch the train!

    The development is not in the most accessible part of Strathpine. Too far from the train stations or the shops to walk and looks like there is only one road in and out.

    Really? What's a bus?

    O hang on - @KnockKnock Buy yourself an older style house on at least 600m2 of land within walking distance to any of the train stations around there and you will do fine. Pity you didn't get yourself a property here two or three years ago when they were dirt cheap.

    Has anyone heard of a merge between Strathpine and Lawnton train stations? I found this ages ago but now I cant seem to find it

    What do you mean by a 'merge' between stations? Bray Park station sits between those two btw.

    Price hasn't gone up much in the last 2 - 3 years. Around 5% per year. Still good time to buy. Buying in Brisbane 2-3 years ago is not that great compared to investing in some other cities. I actually regretted that I bought too many too early in Brisbane.

    Chaps! I drove to Strathpine and Bray Park area just a couple of days ago while in Gold Coast for holiday... I get the idea of being in proximity to new uni and high rental yield.
    But it seems to have low to medium social demographics
    How much capital growth would you consider to be decent? 5% or 10-20% like the booms in Sydney and Melbourne?
    I could be wrong, as I don't live in Brissy... but gut feel tells me the capital growth/overshooting during the boom in Brissy which we are all hoping to happen in the next couple of years is going to be smaller than Melbourne and Sydney.
    Scale wise, Sydney boom > Melbourne boom > Brissy boom. It always come down to affordability... i.e. how much money do the average population have....

    Anyone has any updates on the Petrie university?? looks like some civil works have been done on the ground but the actual construction is still pending on government's funding?

    Quick reply:
    1) have a look at most university precincts, especially one which has good transport
    2) with all the changes with lending practices etc. people have less borrowing power... however this will likely increase the pricing floor of the more affordable marketplace due to what people can borrow and/or afford (re: Canada situation with their implementation of similar lending restrictions)
    3) As much as I'd like it to, I doubt Brisbane will have the same boom as Sydney or Melbourne, unless there's a significant change in service-based businesses / even more increased job opportunities. Brisbane will be a good steady "slow burn" imho
