The Inner Brisbane region recorded 138 sales in the fourth quarter 2018, dropping back down after a stand-out quarter three result. A total of 840 new apartment sales were completed in 2018, almost 30% lower than 2017.
Paul Riga, Director at Urbis, summarised, “The fourth quarter result was to be expected. With no new projects launching, buyers are essentially soaking up the current projects on the market.”

Available stock has fluctuated throughout the past two years, however after a peak in Q2 2017 with a record 3,243 apartments available at the start of the quarter, available stock has hovered around the low to mid 2000s throughout 2018.
