QLD Growth Suburbs Update: How These High-Performing Areas Continued to Deliver in 2026

Have these QLD growth suburbs still delivered?


Back in early 2024, we highlighted a group of Queensland suburbs that had already experienced strong short-term growth, rising around 30%-48% within a matter of months.


At the time, we noted that these suburbs still showed further growth potential.


Fast forward to Q2 2026, and several have continued to perform strongly:


Chuwar, QLD

Median price increased from $890,000 in Q1 2024 to $1,000,000 in Q2 2026

Further growth: 12% / +$110,000


Raceview, QLD

Median price increased from $600,000 in Q1 2024 to $830,000 in Q2 2026

Further growth: 38% / +$230,000


Nelly Bay, QLD

Median price increased from $600,000 in Q1 2024 to $807,500 in Q2 2026

Further growth: 35% / +$207,500


Many investors focus only on suburbs that have shown little recent growth but have strong fundamentals.


That can be a valuable strategy, but it’s also important not to overlook suburbs that have already performed well and continue to show positive growth drivers.


Momentum, when supported by strong fundamentals, can still point to further opportunity.
