Historical Trillion Dollar Housing Market in Queensland lends much needed Confidence

Doron Peleg RiskWise Property Research chief executive said that the value of Queensland's housing market breaking through the $1 trillion was a gamechanger.

"It makes Queensland the third major player, yet it often gets overlooked by policy makers. "This shows it is a big market with a huge impact on the economy."

"It is important to remember the state had a two-speed housing market, with houses in the state's southeast performing well but units still carrying some risk", said Mr Peleg.

"However, proceed with caution when it comes to units and in some areas of Queensland, particularly mining towns."
