With the recent flooding in Queensland, news about economic shifts worldwide and other changes going on, I’ve been getting tonnes of questions about the state of the Queensland market today.
And very understandably so.
But let me just reassure you:
All it takes is working with the right Buyers Agent who will look after your best interests and perform the necessary due diligence to ensure you’re investing in the right areas.
Let’s explore this further, shall we? Read on.
Real estate vs. market volatility: why QLD property remains resilient
In times of uncertainty, people naturally look for secure investment options.
Over the past few months, we’ve seen heightened volatility in the share market, especially when events like the ongoing economic policy changes and global conflicts impact financial markets.
Real estate’s stability is built on tangible, physical assets. People will always need housing, and with Australia’s ongoing population growth, housing demand is unlikely to fade anytime soon.
This makes Australian property an asset that stays
reliable during economic uncertainties.
Right now, many Queensland property investors are reconsidering their strategies and looking for ways to safeguard their wealth. One of the most common questions I get is: “Is real estate still a stable investment?”
The answer? Yes – but only when you invest wisely and with the right guidance.
Addressing the elephant in the room: Queensland flooding and its impact on the property market
One of the biggest concerns I’ve been hearing lately is about the recent flooding in Queensland, and for good reason. Seeing the damage caused to homes, businesses and communities has been heartbreaking.
My thoughts are with those affected, as they begin the difficult process of rebuilding.
At the same time, I want to reassure those
looking to invest in Queensland property this year.
The media coverage has been relentless, often creating the perception that the entire state is underwater. But let’s set the record straight:
✔️ The areas most affected by flooding were already known flood zones. These are locations where flooding has occurred in the past and will likely occur again.
✔️ The vast majority of Queensland’s property market is unaffected by flood events. There are suburbs that have never experienced major flooding and continue to perform strongly in terms of capital growth.
✔️ Proper due diligence, including flood checks and insurance, ensures that investors are not caught off guard by natural disasters.
I’ve personally purchased hundreds of properties for clients in Queensland, and not even one has been impacted by flooding. Why? Because I ensure flood checks are conducted as part of my due diligence process before any purchase.
The importance of expert guidance – changing perceptions about Queensland property
Just recently, I had a client reach out, concerned about investing in Queensland property due to the flood coverage in the media. He was convinced that the entire state was at risk.
After walking him through the Queensland flood mapping data and showing him the due diligence process we follow – including flood checks and tailored insurance policies – he realised the reality was far different from the headlines.
By the end of our conversation, his mindset had completely shifted.
He saw that there were plenty of opportunities in low-risk, high-growth suburbs. He then decided to move forward with a property purchase in Southeast Queensland – an area that had never experienced significant flooding.
This experience highlights a key takeaway for investors: always base your decisions on facts, research and professional advice.
While we’re at it, let’s take the time to discuss why due diligence matters when you’re investing in property in Queensland.
The role of due diligence in property investment
This is where working with a local Queensland Buyers Agent makes all the difference.
As seasoned Queensland Buyers Agents, part of the Worth Property Investing property investment process involves these five key steps I take to protect my clients from unnecessary risks:
- Flood Checks
Ensuring a property is outside known flood zones before purchase - Market Research
Identifying locations with strong capital growth potential and high demand - Insurance Planning
Securing policies that cover potential risks, including flood insurance where necessary - Local Insights
Understanding the history and future infrastructure plans for a given area - Growth Potential Analysis
Assessing long-term trends and economic factors that affect property values
While no investment is entirely risk-free, real estate is still one of the most stable and proven asset classes – especially when approached strategically.
With the right due diligence, Australian property investment can provide both long-term capital growth and steady rental income, making it a reliable asset even in uncertain times.
So, if you’re looking to buy or invest in the property market on the Sunshine Coast, Hervey Bay or Southeast Queensland, now is a good time.
Yes, the market is shifting. Yes, there has been flooding in parts of Queensland. But the notion that property is no longer a stable investment? That’s simply not true.
Let’s help you find the right QLD property investment with confidence.
