๐๏ธ Brisbane is quickly establishing itself as one of the world's most dynamic luxury property markets, driven by Olympic infrastructure investment, severe stock shortages and record levels of wealth creation.

According to Knight Frank's Wealth Report, Australia ranks:
โ
๐ 4th globally for billionaire growth, projected to increase by 77% by 2031
๐ 5th globally for ultra-high-net-worth individual growth at nearly 60 per cent.

๐Globally, 89 new ultra-high-net-worth individuals are created each day, supporting sustained demand for luxury assets.

โ
In Australia:
โข Perth led luxury price growth at 4.1%
โข Gold Coast at 2.8%
โข Brisbane at 2.1%
โข Sydney and Melbourne recorded slight declines
๐๏ธ Brisbane has been identified as a key luxury growth location, supported by Olympic-related infrastructure investment and ongoing urban redevelopment.
