The latest property figures for Strathpine and Brendale show prices holding above year-ago levels in both suburbs, although slower selling times and differences in housing stock reveal two distinct markets.
House prices in Strathpine have eased from their mid-year peak, even as the suburb records annual growth, while neighbouring Brendale’s townhouse and unit market has maintained much of its earlier momentum.
The latest Property Market Overview, covering the three months to 5 October 2026, puts Strathpine’s median house price at $912,500, up 7.4 per cent against the corresponding period last year. In Brendale, the median townhouse and unit price reached $748,000, representing a 17.8 per cent annual increase.
The figures suggest neither suburb has experienced a sharp reversal in prices, although the pace of sales and the types of homes changing hands deserve closer attention.
Strathpine’s House Market Has Eased Since July
Strathpine’s median house price reached $1,011,000 in the three months to early July before retreating to $912,500 in the latest reporting period.
That places the current median 3.9 per cent below the suburb’s 12-month median of $950,000, despite remaining above the corresponding three-month period in 2025.
Three-bedroom houses account for much of the activity. There were 24 sales in this category during the latest quarter, with a median of $902,000, compared with $843,000 during the same period last year.
Four-bedroom houses recorded a median of $970,000 from 11 sales, compared with a 12-month median of $990,000.
Selling times have also lengthened. The median house took 27 days to sell, compared with 11 days across the trailing 12-month period. Around 47 per cent of houses took at least a month to sell during the latest quarter, against 24 per cent over the longer period.
These figures point to a market where prices remain relatively strong but buyers are taking longer to commit.

Strathpine’s Higher-End Sales
The suburb’s strongest individual transactions remained comfortably above the median.

Several other properties sold above $1 million, illustrating the continued presence of buyers at the upper end of Strathpine’s market despite the broader moderation in median prices.

Brendale’s Townhouses Tell a Different Story
Brendale’s market is dominated by townhouses and units rather than detached houses, making direct comparisons with Strathpine’s house prices potentially misleading.
The suburb’s three-month median townhouse and unit price of $748,000 compares with $635,000 in the corresponding period last year. It is also almost identical to the trailing 12-month median of $749,000.
That suggests recent prices have remained broadly in line with the level established over the past year, rather than following Strathpine’s more noticeable retreat from its earlier peak.
Brendale recorded 14 residential sales during the quarter. Its townhouse and unit median selling time was 16 days, compared with 11 days over the trailing 12 months.
The bedroom breakdown provides further context. Three-bedroom townhouses remain an important part of the market, with a 12-month median of $775,000. Two-bedroom properties recorded a 12-month median of $710,000.
There were also sales of smaller one-bedroom properties, which can affect the overall median when transaction volumes are relatively low. This is particularly relevant in Brendale, where a handful of sales can have a greater influence on quarterly figures than in a larger market.

Brendale’s Top Sales Reflect Its Housing Mix
Brendale’s highest reported transaction was $865,000 for a four-bedroom property at 7 Karena Street.
Townhouse transactions featured prominently among the remaining top sales, including $820,000 at 31/350 Leitchs Road, $805,000 at 7/93 Stanley Street and $790,000 at 62/350 Leitchs Road.
The mix reinforces the distinction between the two suburbs. While Strathpine’s highest sales include detached family homes exceeding $1 million, Brendale’s upper end is shaped largely by townhouse transactions.

What the Figures Mean for Local Buyers and Sellers
Both suburbs recorded higher median prices than during the same three months last year, but their recent trajectories are not identical.
Strathpine’s house market has softened from its mid-year high, with longer selling times suggesting buyers may have more opportunity to consider their options. Brendale’s townhouse and unit prices, meanwhile, have remained close to their 12-month level, although its smaller sales volume warrants caution when interpreting quarterly movements.
For sellers, the figures underline the importance of comparing properties with similar homes rather than relying solely on a suburb-wide median. Buyers face much the same consideration, particularly when weighing a detached house in Strathpine against a townhouse in Brendale.
The latest results provide evidence of continued annual price growth in both suburbs, but they also show why local property conditions are better understood through sales volumes, bedroom configurations and selling times alongside headline prices.
