About us
Independent Brisbane property insights for homeowners
We started this because most homeowners head into a sale (or a refi, or just a coffee with an agent) without really knowing what their place is worth. We fix that — using the same sales data the agents are looking at.
What we do
We pull recent comparable sales, suburb medians and what’s currently on the market into a free property report. Sellers use it to time a campaign. Refinancers use it to argue with the bank valuer. Plenty of people just want to know if the renovation paid off.
How we make money
When someone we’ve helped is ready to list, we introduce them to one of a small panel of Brisbane agents. The agent pays us a referral fee. You pay nothing for the valuation, the suburb data or any of the guides — and if you don’t click with the agent we suggest, you walk.
Independence
We don’t list properties, and no agency owns us. The suburb pages, guides and market commentary don’t push one agency over another. If a panel agent starts underperforming, they come off it.
Who’s behind this
Our suburb data, guides and market updates are written and maintained by people who spend their days reading Brisbane sales records — not generated and forgotten. Articles carry a byline so you know who stands behind the analysis.
Daniel Mercer
Lead Market Analyst
Daniel leads the market analysis behind Brisbane House Prices. He has spent more than a decade reading South East Queensland sale records — first in residential valuation support, then in property data journalism — and now builds the suburb medians, growth estimates and quarterly market updates that run on this site.
His focus is turning raw, messy sales data into something a homeowner can actually act on: a realistic price range, an honest read on which way a suburb is moving, and the context to know whether a headline number applies to a house like theirs.
Focus areas
- South East Queensland suburb price trends
- Comparable-sales valuation methodology
- Auction clearance and listings analysis
- Infrastructure-driven price growth (rail, Olympics precincts)
Our editorial & data standards
Property data is only useful if you can trust it. A few commitments we hold ourselves to:
- We show our working. Suburb figures are attributed to their source and dated, and we explain exactly how we source and update them on our methodology page.
- We label estimates as estimates. Where a number is modelled or rolled forward rather than freshly published, we say so, and we re-check our anchors roughly every quarter.
- We separate analysis from referrals. Our commentary doesn’t favour the agents on our panel, and a referral never changes what a suburb page or guide says.
- We fix mistakes. If a figure is wrong, tell us and we’ll correct it. Accuracy is the entire point of the site.
