Thinking of buying your first home in Brisbane but worried about the cost? Good news, there are still areas offering great value, even in 2025. In this blog, we’ll take you through a handful of suburbs that strike the right balance between affordability, growth potential, and livability.

Outer Suburbs Are Still Affordable

While central Brisbane prices have continued to rise, suburbs like Caboolture, Morayfield, and Ipswich remain popular with first home buyers. These areas offer house and land packages starting from the mid-$400,000s and continue to see infrastructure investment, making them solid long-term choices.

Growth Corridors Are Smart Buys

The Logan corridor, including suburbs like Marsden and Crestmead, is gaining attention for its affordability and strong rental demand. With the SEQ City Deal investing in infrastructure across this region, it’s becoming a hotspot for first-time buyers who want room to grow and access to key transport links.

Look West for Lifestyle and Value

If you’re after a bit more space, Redbank Plains, Springfield Lakes, and Goodna offer family-friendly living without the inner-city price tag. These suburbs are serviced by new shopping centres, schools, and public transport – and they’re still within commuting distance of the CBD.

Don’t Forget New Estates

Master-planned communities in Ripley Valley and Yarrabilba are ideal for new buyers. Many come with government grants and bonus inclusions like landscaping or appliances. You’ll also find builders offering incentives that reduce upfront costs – something we help our clients secure all the time.
