Forest Lake remains one of the busiest and most closely watched property markets in Brisbane’s south-west corridor, with strong activity continuing across surrounding suburbs including Pallara, Doolandella, Durack and Inala.
Local agent Matthew Groves shares his latest observations on investor sentiment, buyer activity, recent sales and the broader market conditions shaping the area in mid-2026.
So the Federal Budget has definitely created uncertainty across parts of the local property market. I’m speaking with many investors who are considering selling ahead of the proposed 2027 changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax arrangements.
Recent industry reporting also suggests investor participation across South-East Queensland has fallen by more than 20% since the start of 2026 amid uncertainty surrounding the proposed reforms.
At the same time, concerns around first home buyer negative equity are starting to emerge nationally, particularly in some Sydney markets. At this stage though, those pressures do not really appear to extend to Forest Lake, Doolandella, Pallara, Inala, Durack, Ellen Grove and surrounding areas, where conditions still seem comparatively stable.
From my perspective, the local market may come off the very top slightly, but not dramatically, which could create a solid buying opportunity before the next growth phase. There are still pre-qualified buyers active in the market despite broader economic headwinds.
I take 19 Centaurus Street, Inala to auction on June 20 if not sold prior. It’s a three-bedroom home on 633 square metres and, subject to approvals, has potential for a future granny flat thanks to the side access.
A lot of people don’t realise the now-closed Inala State School was actually located in neighbouring Durack. The school opened in 1962 and closed in 1995 when it merged with Glenala State High School, which remains in Durack today.
Another recent result we were pleased with was the sale of 21 Durundur Court, Durack, which settled at $1.45 million after selling under the hammer. We’re now also marketing 91 Hampton Street, Durack following its first open home last weekend — a three-bedroom, one-bathroom home on 622 square metres returning $600 per week in rent, with tenants in place until July.
And another piece of local history many newer residents may not know: Durack was officially named in 1976 after a community competition, with locals voting to honour Michael “Stumpy” Durack. The Durack family once owned the Archerfield Station, which covered around 56.7 square kilometres, with the original homestead located in what is now Homestead Park at Forest Lake.

Some Development Applications
Recent development activity in Forest Lake and the surrounding suburbs is adding another layer to how the market is evolving. The map below highlights some key proposals and applications in the area.
In this latest edition of our Local Property Market Snapshot, recent sales activity, current listings, median pricing, and a peek into local development applications, along with market commentary from Local Expert Matt Groves, provide a multi-layered view of how the market is tracking across Forest Lake and surrounding suburbs.
Rather than relying on a single metric, the combination of what’s selling, where prices are sitting and how activity varies between suburbs offers a practical benchmark for homeowners and buyers to assess value and compare conditions across the local area.
Property investors are very nervous about the potential impending CGT budget policy.
It is difficult to advise clients because there is a tendency to wait until after the budget on May 12, but that could mean selling into a glut of new listings, which may cause downward pressure on prices.
Despite testing economic conditions, with the oil price situation pushing diesel costs and the price of many plastic products, including plumber’s piping, through the roof, we had a satisfactory auction of 21 Durundur Court, Durack. Three bidders ended up taking the property to $1.45 million when the hammer came down, the vendor was happy, and when other properties in that price range are having to sell at a discount currently, this was fair value.
We are currently listing a 3-bedroom property in Inala at 19 Centaurus Street, set on 693 square metres of land. Subject to the necessary approvals, a buyer could decide to build a granny flat as it has good side access.
Did you know that until the 1950s, Inala was known as Serviceton because after World War II a group of ex-servicemen formed the Serviceton Co-Operative Society to build homes for their families. The word “Inala” is Aboriginal, meaning a peaceful or restful place.
On August 9, 1975, 326 Vietnamese refugees arrived in Brisbane and Inala became their favoured home. Inala Plaza is now an extraordinary cultural experience.
Over the last 90 days, 3-bedroom houses in Inala have ranged from $792,000 to $1,050,000, while 4-bedroom houses have ranged from $780,000 to $1,098,000, which is quite unusual as they seem very close. The sample size is small, being six 3-bedroom house sales in Inala, with five 4-bedroom house sales in Inala. However, this still seems out of whack.
For example, in Forest Lake, the 90-day window shows the following for the same 90-day window:

Forest Lake Medians (90-day and 1-year Overview)
Forest Lake’s recent sales point to a clear concentration of demand in the 3- and 4-bedroom segments, with the 3-bedroom market driving the highest transaction volume while 4-bedroom homes maintain a strong price premium without matching that volume.
Recent sales show higher pricing across all house segments compared to the 12-month figures, particularly in the core 3- and 4-bedroom markets.
The price ranges between these two segments show only limited overlap at the margins, suggesting buyers are largely operating within defined budget bands rather than stretching between categories. The 5-bedroom market, while naturally achieving higher prices, remains comparatively thin, indicating it plays a much smaller role in overall market movement than the core 3- and 4-bedroom segments.
Unit sales are only reflected in the 12-month data, with relatively low volumes across all configurations, indicating that recent activity is concentrated almost entirely in detached housing.

Doolandella Medians (90-day and 1-year Overview)
Doolandella’s recent sales data shows that 4-bedroom houses are the most active segment, with 8 sales in the past 90 days and a median of $1.087M, compared to a 12-month median of $987.5K, indicating stronger recent pricing in that category.
Unit and townhouse activity is more concentrated in the 3-bedroom segment, with the 90-day median broadly aligned with the 12-month median, indicating stable pricing for that segment over the last 12 months.
Other segments, including 5-bedroom houses and 4-bedroom units/townhouses, have relatively low recent sales volumes, making short-term comparisons less conclusive based on the available data.

Inala Medians (90-day and 1-year Overview)
Inala shows evidence that recent detached-house sales are sitting above their broader 12-month medians, particularly in the core family-house categories.
The 3-bedroom house segment shows the strongest recent movement, with the 90-day median sitting about 8% above the 12-month median. The 5-bedroom category remains too thin in the recent period to draw a reliable short-term trend.

The numbers don’t lie — Forest Lake and its neighbouring suburbs are holding firm at elevated price levels. Resilience defines this market right now — and the median figures across Forest Lake, Ellen Grove, Doolandella and Pallara prove it.
House prices across the Forest Lake corridor remain firmly anchored at elevated levels. Forest Lake continues to lead the established suburbs, with four-bedroom houses holding around the $1.2 million mark and five-bedroom homes reaching $1.4 million or more. Pallara is also performing strongly, with four-bedroom houses sitting around $1.15 million and reinforcing its position in the upper tier of the local market.
Doolandella is tracking closely behind, with four-bedroom houses also holding near $1.2 million and larger homes moving into the low $1.2 million-plus range. Ellen Grove remains the more accessible entry point, with four-bedroom houses sitting near $1 million while still benefiting from the strength of surrounding suburbs. Overall, the data points to a market consolidating at higher price floors rather than showing sharp volatility.
Data reflects sales from November 2025 to February 2026 (as of presstime).
Meanwhile, the market for apartments/townhouses and units across Forest Lake, Ellen Grove, Doolandella and Pallara tells a slightly different story from detached housing, with prices sitting within tight bands and buyer demand remaining steady.
Overall, the figures suggest that townhouse prices across the four suburbs are remarkably consistent, generally clustering between $750,000 and $775,000, reinforcing their role as the key entry point for buyers seeking family-sized accommodation in the area.
Trend Direction
What stands out most over the last three months is not volatility, but resilience. Detached homes are holding steady across all four suburbs, and townhouse pricing is tightly grouped with little sign of downward pressure.
Pallara and Forest Lake continue to command the upper end of the market, Doolandella shows strong liquidity in its townhouse segment, and Ellen Grove maintains its position as the value-driven alternative.
Doolandella has always been considered the younger brother to Forest Lake. On average the properties are newer and since the Woolworths moved into the area 10 months ago, it feels like Doolandella has become more attractive. The store on the corner of Blunder Road and Crossacres Street has an 8 bay direct-to-boot service which is convenient for time-poor couples.
As the auction for
123 Bagnall Street in Ellen Grove
moves nearer, it will be a great test of what 10,000+ square metres is worth in an area that is evolving rapidly. The house is unliveable but with over a hectare of land, this property will sell very well and as i write, I am delighted with the interest shown so far and we will be hoping to sell under the hammer on March 7.
Our recent sale at Panda Close in Doolandella was a complex record, it sold after 2 Open Homes for $780,000, $50,000 more than the previous highest price achieved in the complex. Surprisingly it sold to an investor, I say surprisingly because the first home buyer market has really taken off since October last year when the 5% deposit scheme was introduced for first home buyers. This has had an immediate impact on increasing house prices under the $1m mark.
We recently sold 2 properties off-market in Ellen Grove and 1 in Seventeen Mile Rocks. It’s an interesting case study for people who are constantly mising out on a purchase. We know a lot of properties that may sell soon and it’s always worth letting us know if you are in the market and pre-approved for finance.
I hear a lot of vendors say they would like to move but they have a list of things they want to do to their house first. Sometimes that list is not the same list that would get the best price on the market, we have a team of trades that work with us, and so it’s really easy to create the right to-do list and have it priced in preparation for sale, saving you money and hopefully doubling or trebling your return on that spend. Depending on the property, new carpet and paint for $10-15,000 can generate $50,000 in this market. I’m a big fan of red mulch and colour in a garden bed, it can make a big difference in the photography of the property.

A Deeper Dive Into the Numbers
Over the past six months, the Forest Lake corridor property market has shown steady, disciplined growth rather than rapid price spikes. Comparing three-month medians with six-month benchmarks reveals a pattern of gradual upward movement across both houses and townhouses.
Detached homes in Forest Lake, Pallara and Doolandella continue to anchor the market at higher price tiers, while the townhouse segment is tightening into a narrow pricing band driven by consistent buyer demand. The data suggests a market that is consolidating at stronger price floors, with modest gains of roughly $10,000 to $30,000 across many segments rather than sharp volatility.
Below are the median comparisons between houses and apartments, 3 months vs 6 months.
