Great Expectations




Brighton has become a hot topic as it is forecast to be one of the top ten suburbs to buy in!  Brighton, similar to the surrounding  suburbs of Sandgate, Shorncliffe and Deagon is fast becoming a destination and offers great infrastructure and a wonderful environment for everyone.  

This area is  serviced by the Shorncliffe train line, main bus lines, close to the main arterial roads and houses some very popular early,   primary and secondary schools.  While being only 17kms to Brisbane CBD and close to Brisbane Airport, Brighton is nestled on the coast in the Bramble Bay precinct and overlooks Moreton Island.  

This area also offers a vast array of arts, music and healthy lifestyles, with many  eateries, coffee houses, restaurants, medical, financial institutions and other small retail and service industries—Brisbane’s best kept secrets!

Information sourced from RP Data shows a mixed result for the period from 2004 to 2013.  2002 to 2004 was the peak increase in prices for this entire area and since then there has been slight increases and in some cases Brighton has out performed Brisbane City Council.

There is absolutely no guarantee that there will be an increase in buyer activity, however, this exposure does place a seed in people’s minds and will bring them into an area that they may not have even considered previously.  The experts have only just found it, we know it, and we’re open to having people discover us! 

There is still not enough homes for sale.  Currently on www.realestate.com.au there are 70 properties on the market for sale in Brighton, around 40% lower than expected.  The other surrounding suburbs are similar with low supply.  High demand would   normally raise prices up, but in this case, that’s not happened yet!
