Start with the obvious.

The Southeast Queensland land market has been hot. Very hot.

Sales volumes have rebounded to around 13,800 lots, and prices have surged. Median urban land now sits at $500,000, pushing house-and-land packages north of $1.1 million.

That’s not a gentle cycle. That’s a reset.

But here’s the question that matters now: is this heat sustainable… or are we tipping into something else?

Because markets don’t move in straight lines. And this one is starting to show a few bends.

My 6 charts and commentary, behind the paywall, gets down in the dirt so to speak.
