A licensed Brisbane buyers agency for investors. Fixed fees, no commissions from sellers, and a Camp Hill office so the inspections are ours, not yours.
For two years Brisbane was the capital everyone pointed at. That has changed. Cotality's July 2026 index has Brisbane dwelling values down 0.6% for the month and down 0.6% across the quarter, the second consecutive monthly fall. The annual figure still reads +14.8%, but almost all of that was earned in the first half of the period.
The income side of the ledger tells a different story. Brisbane's vacancy rate sits at 0.9%, asking rents average roughly $752 a week, and rents rose about 9.1% over the year to June 2026, the strongest rental profile of any Australian capital in that release. Median house values are around $1,225,350 and units around $885,132, with units having run harder than houses over the past year.
Put together, that is a market where the price side has softened while the income side has held. Vendors who listed expecting last year's result are meeting buyers who have read this year's data. That gap is where a buyers agent earns their fee, and it is why we are having more honest conversations with sellers now than at any point in the last two years.
The other number that matters is the cost of money. The RBA cash rate is 4.35%, held at the June 2026 meeting after three consecutive increases earlier in the year. Higher rates compress borrowing capacity, which is precisely why knowing your genuine buying position before you start looking is worth more than another weekend of open homes. Our buying power calculator gives you an indicative figure in about a minute.

CapitalVue Pty Ltd is a licensed buyers agency (QLD 4769773, SA 335016). Nothing on this page is personal financial advice, credit assistance or a recommendation to buy a particular property. Consider your own circumstances and obtain independent financial, credit, legal and tax advice before making a property decision.
We do not cover every postcode in South East Queensland. We cover the pockets we know well enough to price a property without guessing.
Morningside, Camp Hill, Carina Heights, Cannon Hill, Balmoral. Established, tightly held, close to the city and the Gabba precinct. Three of our documented client purchases sit here, including Carina Heights at +32.35% since acquisition. This is our home ground, our office is in Camp Hill.
Chapel Hill, Kenmore, Keperra, Mitchelton, Everton Park. Larger blocks, strong school catchments and a family-buyer floor under prices. Suits investors who want a lower-volatility hold with genuine owner-occupier demand underneath.
Taigum, Zillmere, Bracken Ridge, Aspley, Chermside. Better entry prices and stronger gross yields than the inner ring, with infrastructure and retail investment continuing. Our Taigum purchase is up 21.39% since acquisition.
Kangaroo Point, Woolloongabba, South Brisbane, Newstead. The most misunderstood segment in Brisbane, and the one where stock selection matters most. Our Kangaroo Point apartment is our strongest single result at +40.35%. It is also the segment where buying the wrong building costs you years.
Every figure below is a real client purchase with the price paid and the current market value. Nothing here is a case study we wrote about someone else's deal.

Every row is a settled CapitalVue client purchase. Current values are indicative market estimates as at August 2026, not formal valuations or sale prices, and growth is measured from the purchase price at acquisition. Client names and street addresses are withheld. Individual results vary and past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
We establish your borrowing position, timeframe, risk tolerance and what the property actually needs to do. If the honest answer is that you are not ready, we say so.
We work our agent relationships across the four submarkets, including stock that never reaches portals, and shortlist against your brief rather than what is available this weekend.
Comparable sales, building and pest, flood and overlay checks, body corporate records where relevant, and a defensible price ceiling we will not exceed on your behalf.
We negotiate or bid, manage the contract through to settlement, then load the asset into your CapitalVue tracker so you can see how it performs from day one.
A free, no-obligation strategy call. If Brisbane is the wrong market for your brief, we will tell you that on the call.
CapitalVue charges fixed fees, not a percentage of the purchase price, so our fee does not rise when the price does. Full buyers agent service for investors is $19,500, owner-occupier support is $11,500, and auction bidding only is $2,200. Fees are published in full on our services page.
Brisbane dwelling values fell 0.6% in July 2026 and 0.6% over the quarter, after rising 14.8% across the year. At the same time vacancy sits near 0.9% and asking rents rose about 9.1% year on year. In plain terms, the capital growth run has paused while rental income has held up, which historically gives buyers more negotiating room. Whether that suits you depends entirely on your borrowing position, timeframe and risk tolerance, which is a conversation, not a blanket answer.
We focus on four Brisbane submarkets: the inner east (Morningside, Camp Hill, Carina Heights, Cannon Hill, Balmoral), the inner west and north-west (Chapel Hill, Kenmore, Keperra, Mitchelton), the northside corridor (Taigum, Zillmere, Bracken Ridge, Aspley, Chermside) and inner-city apartments (Kangaroo Point, Woolloongabba, South Brisbane, Newstead). We do not buy in a suburb simply because it is trending.
No. A large share of our clients buy in Brisbane from interstate or overseas without inspecting in person. We inspect, video walk the property, run the due diligence, negotiate and manage settlement. Our office is in Camp Hill, so inspections are local to us rather than a flight away.
A selling agent is paid by the vendor and is legally obliged to get the highest price for them. A buyers agent is engaged and paid by you, and works to secure the right property at the lowest defensible price. We never accept commissions or referral fees from sellers, developers or project marketers.
Most CapitalVue Brisbane purchases sit between roughly $850,000 and $1.6m, which is where the established, well-located stock in our four submarkets trades. Our documented client purchases span $850,000 for an inner-city apartment up to $1,925,000 for an inner-east house.
Most CapitalVue purchases run six to ten weeks from strategy session to signed contract, then a standard 30 to 45 day settlement. Tighter briefs take longer. We would rather miss a deal than push you into the wrong asset to hit a deadline.
