Holmview
With a median age of 28, Holmview sits 12 years below the national figure, making it one of the youngest suburbs in the Logan corridor. That youth reflects a suburb still in formation: population climbed 45.2% over the decade and 97 development applications were lodged in the past 12 months, nearly all for new dwellings. Despite rapid growth, the area ranks in IRSAD decile 3 nationally, below average on the combined advantage index, though household income reaches the 63.2nd percentile. Over half the residents (54.5%) rent, which is high compared to state and national norms, and the vacancy rate of 4.8% signals a tightening market.

Estimated from rent (2025)
The median house price is approximately $485,000, estimated from rental data for 2025, placing Holmview in the affordable tier compared to the Brisbane metro median. Separate houses dominate at 88.3% of dwellings, with 4-plus bedroom homes accounting for 58.6% of stock, so most buyers get substantial family-sized properties. Monthly mortgage repayments average $1,650, and the mortgage-to-income ratio is 21.3%, below the 30% stress threshold, meaning the suburb is genuinely accessible to households on working incomes. Only 8.6% of residents own outright, while 36.9% carry a mortgage, reflecting a suburb of recent and active buyers rather than long-settled owners.

For Investors
Holmview presents a yield-focused case: weekly rent is $400 against an estimated $485,000 median, implying a gross yield near 4.3%, stronger than most Brisbane inner suburbs. The renter share of 54.5% is high compared to state norms, ensuring consistent tenant demand, and a vacancy rate of 4.8% signals a tightening pool. Development activity is elevated at 97 applications in 12 months, concentrated in new dwellings, so investors should price in ongoing supply. Rent grew 15.2% over the recent period, outpacing real income growth of 3.9%, which supports further yield compression if supply cannot keep pace.

The stock is 88.3% separate houses, with 58.6% having 4 or more bedrooms, well above the national average for family-scale dwellings. Despite this, 54.5% of residents rent, higher than the Queensland state norm, because the suburb is still maturing and most households have not yet accumulated buying equity. The mortgage-to-income ratio of 21.3% and rent-to-income ratio of 22.4% both sit below the 30% stress threshold, meaning costs are manageable relative to local incomes. Only 8.6% own outright, confirming a suburb of recent arrivals and younger families at the $485,000 estimated median price point.

How to read these comparisons
Phrases like "above the national average" reference the unweighted median across Australian suburbs with more than 1,000 residents, not population-weighted national figures. Suburb-level medians are more useful for ranking suburbs against each other; ABS census headlines are population-weighted (so dominated by Sydney and Melbourne) and can read very differently.
Current baseline (refreshed 2026-05-10): median age 40, university-educated 30.1%, born overseas 21.6%, average household size 2.5 people.
Data sources: ABS 2021 Census (demographics, income, tenure), state Valuer-General (house prices), Department of Jobs SALM (unemployment), ACARA (school ICSEA), state Crime Statistics agencies (offences), council DA portals (development applications). Population forecasts use a Hamilton-Perry cohort model calibrated to ABS ERP.
