WCC 972: Why Brisbane Looks Unstoppable The Six Forces Shaping Property Wealth in 2026

What truly drives property markets—and why does one Australian city look almost unstoppable right now? In this Wealth Coffee Chat, we kick off 2026 by unpacking the real forces behind long-term property growth, from interest rates and politics to supply shortages, jobs, infrastructure, and the powerful role of demographics. Joined by Jeff Braley from McCrindle Research, the conversation dives into why Southeast Queensland is surging, how the Olympic effect is reshaping Brisbane and its sister cities, and what population growth forecasts mean for investors over the next 25 years. You’ll also hear insights on migration trends, shrinking household sizes, the massive generational wealth transfer underway, and why data—not opinions—should guide your investment decisions. If you want clarity, context, and confidence heading into the next phase of the property cycle, this episode sets the foundation for smarter investing in 2026 and beyond.
