The real estate market in Middle Park has experienced significant growth, with house prices increasing 29% over the past year. The median house price now sits at $1.2 million, up from $930,000 in early 2024, reflecting strong demand in this western Brisbane suburb.
Despite an increase in available listings, properties in Middle Park continue to sell quickly. In December 2024, the suburb saw a 162% rise in property listings compared to the five-year average for that month, making it the second-highest increase in Queensland, behind West End.

Why Middle Park Is in High Demand
Long-term residents and downsizers are taking advantage of the rising property values. This creates opportunities for new buyers. Middle Park has long been regarded as an undervalued suburb, offering spacious land sizes, well-regarded schools, and a strong sense of community.
Local residents Surra Gatei and Johnny Serrano, who have lived in Middle Park for nearly three decades, have decided to sell their latest home but remain committed to staying in the area. They noted that properties in Middle Park do not stay on the market for long and continue to attract strong interest.
Community and Lifestyle Appeal
Beyond property values, Middle Park is known for its close-knit community. Ms Gatei highlighted how residents actively support each other through local social groups, often stepping in to assist those in need. A recent example involved a house fire in River Hills, where the community quickly rallied to provide the affected family with furniture, clothing, and essential supplies.
The area’s reputation for strong community ties, family-friendly amenities, and generous property sizes continues to make it an attractive choice for buyers.

Future Market Outlook
The rise in listings in Middle Park aligns with a national trend, as PropTrack data indicates an 8% increase in homes coming to market across Australia in 2024.
With Brisbane’s property market expected to expand leading up to the 2032 Olympic Games, Middle Park remains a competitive suburb for buyers and investors, with continued strong demand likely in the coming years.
