Our view on Moreton Bay
Moreton Bay sits inside Cotality's Greater Brisbane index, which peaked in May 2026 and has fallen every month since, down 1.0% in August (Cotality, data to 31 August 2026). Cotality's own suburb-level detail still had Caboolture up 13.9% and Redcliffe up 13.5% over the trailing 12 months to August 2026, but that is a rear view figure and says nothing about the last three months. The figures on this page are as at May 2026.
Over the 12 months to May 2026, Moreton Bay recorded 10.6% house price growth, a vacancy rate of 0.9%, and properties moving in 20 days. Those are trailing figures rather than a forecast, and we would rather you read them that way.
