Ipswich’s Growth is Surging - Your 2025 Insights
As we kick off 2025, the Greater Ipswich property market is showing strong momentum, creating unique opportunities for homeowners considering a sale. If you’re in Ipswich or its surrounding suburbs, now is the time to make informed decisions that could maximise the value of your property.
Here’s an in-depth look at the market trends shaping our region and why this could be your moment to act.
1. Ipswich’s Growth Continues to Outperform
Suburbs like Ripley have seen incredible growth, with median house prices surging +40.8% over the past year. Key infrastructure investments, such as the $3.4 billion Ipswich-Toowoomba rail line, are driving this boom, positioning Ripley as a key player in the Western Growth Corridor.
This is just the beginning. Ipswich’s population is projected to grow by 325,000 residents by 2041, thanks to its affordability and proximity to Brisbane. Suburbs like Collingwood Park (+22.8%) and Redbank Plains (+33.8%) are also thriving, with buyers eager to settle in these family-friendly and conveniently located areas.
2. Brisbane’s Market Impact on Ipswich
Brisbane’s property market is having a direct impact on Ipswich. With Brisbane’s median house price hitting $974,025 (up 11.2% YoY), affordability has become a major driver for buyers looking to settle in Ipswich, where the median price is just $450,000—less than half the cost of inner Brisbane.
Olympic infrastructure projects like the Cross River Rail and ongoing interstate migration are further boosting demand in Brisbane, but Ipswich remains the standout choice for those seeking value without sacrificing convenience. Experts, including ANZ, predict 5-7% price growth in 2025, making now the perfect time to capitalise on this demand.
3. Infrastructure and Investment Fuelling Ipswich’s Appeal
Ipswich’s infrastructure boom is transforming the region. The $1.7 billion faster rail project (Brisbane-Ipswich Central) will cut commute times by an impressive 66%, making Ipswich even more attractive to Brisbane commuters.
The expansion of RAAF Amberley, alongside the development of new education hubs like TAFE and USQ, is driving rental demand. Suburbs like East Ipswich are seeing rental yields as high as 6.4%, attracting investors focused on strong returns. Families and professionals are also eyeing Ipswich for its modern amenities and lifestyle benefits, particularly in areas with new builds and gentrification potential.
4. What This Means for Ipswich Homeowners
For Ipswich homeowners, the current market conditions present an unparalleled opportunity.
Timing is critical: With demand high and supply low, listing your home before rate cuts spur further competition could maximise your sale price.
Highlight lifestyle appeal: Ipswich’s parks, schools, and transport options are highly attractive to families and professionals. Suburbs experiencing gentrification, similar to Footscray in Melbourne, are particularly appealing.
Unlock renovation potential: Homes with land or upgrade opportunities are highly sought after, with buyers eager to create “manufactured growth” through renovations.
