Housing and property

Buying property

Buying a home in Queensland may be different from how you would purchase property in your home country. You may find it useful to research buying a home in Queensland. This will help you understand what to do before you buy, as well as how to appoint an agent, get financing, select a suitable home, make an offer, manage the sale and settlement, and pay off your mortgage.

You can find information that compares median dwelling prices, liveability, and infrastructure across the major cities in Queensland on the National Cities Performance Framework dashboard:

  • Brisbane
  • Cairns
  • Gold Coast–Tweed Heads
  • Mackay
  • Sunshine Coast
  • Toowoomba
  • Townsville

Renting property
