Brisbane’s housing shortage isn’t just about supply it’s about what’s actually making it to completion.

In this episode, we unpack the real issue behind the numbers, including:

• The widening gap between approvals, construction, and completed homes
• Why many approved projects never get built
• How rising construction costs and feasibility challenges are slowing supply
• What current demand and population growth mean for housing pressure in Brisbane
• How buyer behaviour is shifting in today’s market
• The flow-on effect this imbalance is having on property prices heading into 2026

If you’re planning to buy or invest in Brisbane, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening behind the headlines — so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

Brisbane continues to show strength in 2026, but what’s really driving the market right now and what could slow it down?

In this February market update, we break down the latest data across houses and units, where price growth is happening, and why the sub-$1M market is seeing the most pressure. We also unpack what’s happening beneath the surface, including tight supply, increased competition, and the growing presence of both investors and first home buyers.

Beyond the numbers, we discuss the key factors that could influence the months ahead from global uncertainty and interest rates through to potential changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax. While these headlines create noise, we bring it back to what matters most: how supply, demand, and buyer behaviour are shaping outcomes here in Brisbane.

If you’re trying to understand whether now is the right time to act, or how to position yourself in a competitive market, this episode will help you cut through the uncertainty and focus on what actually matters.

Brisbane City Council has proposed changes to low–medium density (LMR) zoning, and these updates could influence how Brisbane grows in the years ahead. In this episode of the Brisbane Property Podcast, Scott and Melinda Jennison explain what these proposed planning changes involve and what they could mean for housing supply, development opportunities, and the future shape of many suburbs across the city.

The discussion explores the concept of the “missing middle” and why council is considering more townhouses, terraces and low-rise apartments in well-located areas near transport and amenities. They also break down the trade-offs between increasing density and protecting the character that makes Brisbane unique.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• What LMR (Low–Medium Density Residential) zoning means in Brisbane
• Why the “missing middle” has become a key housing discussion
• How proposed height increases could allow three to four storey developments
• Potential changes to subdivision rules and lot sizes
• Why car parking requirements are being reconsidered
• How these changes may affect housing supply and affordability
• What the consultation timeline looks like and how residents can have their say

Whether you’re a homeowner, investor, or planning to buy in Brisbane, understanding these proposed changes could help you see where the city may evolve in the coming years.
