The Brisbane postcodes where everyone is aspiring to live has been revealed as the latest Domain data shows the areas that have been searched for the most.

Postcode 4000, which includes Brisbane CBD and Spring Hill was the most searched postcode on Domain during July, with more than double the searches of the next most popular postcode. The second-highest searched postcode was 4152, which includes Camp Hill, Carina, Carina Heights, and Carindale. The highly sought-after postcode of 4101, which includes South Brisbane, West End and Highgate Hill, came in a close third, just a few hundred searches behind 4152.

Urbis Director Paul Riga said it was clear the innermost Brisbane suburbs would be the most popular with would-be buyers. “The CBD has an attractiveness as being our city core and city centre,” he said. Lots of amenities and proximity to commercial businesses drove continued interest in the CBD.

But because the next few postcodes were grouped within a few hundred searches of each other, he said it was a clear indication that interest in the housing market was healthy and diverse.

“You’d expect there’ll be a reasonable spread between your family areas north and south,” Mr Riga said. “They offer similar and accessible price points for people wanting to move into those areas.”
