From July 2017 to June 2018, a total of 13 suburbs reached a capital growth of 10 percent or higher, with Hamilton leading the Best Performers list in Brisbane LGA, according to latest research.
“It’s a great market to be in at the moment.” That’s how REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella describes Queensland’s exceptional performance amidst the gloomy predictions coming out for the property market, recently.
In fact, 68 suburbs throughout Queensland have registered remarkable double-digit growths over this 12-month period.
“The top area delivering the strongest growth has been Blackwater, with 151 percent growth. This is a results of the resurgence in coal prices and the low base starting point,” Ms Mercorella said.

Hamilton was the top performer in Brisbane LGA and fifth in Queensland with an impressive house prices increase for the past year of 32.9 percent. With an average house price of $1,442,000, Hamilton also has the distinction of being the most expensive suburb on the list of QLD best performers.
