What does a median-priced Brisbane apartment look like?

Brisbane's median unit price for the October quarter was $380,000, according to CoreLogic RP Data.

Earlier this year, some predicted the apartment market would display strong growth for 2014. In the year to October, CoreLogic RP Data recorded 2.6% growth in Brisbane apartment values, placing it behind Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Hobart's unit markets.

Brisbane's $380,000 median unit price is 1.2% down from the prior month's result, and 1.0% up for the quarter. Some, including observer Terry Ryder, argue the market may soon be oversupplied, leading to an excess of stock and depressing values.
