https://www.purposeproperty.com.au https://www.purposeproperty.com.au/logan-central-vs-woodridge-qld-house-under-700k Median house prices in both suburbs now top $798,000. See where you can still buy under $700K in Logan, and how a Brisbane buyers agent helps you find it first. <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> If you have been searching Logan for a house under $700,000, you have probably noticed the goalposts have shifted. Listings that would have been $580,000 two years ago are now asking $750,000 and selling in under three weeks. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Logan Central and Woodridge sit right next to each other — barely 1.3 kilometres apart — and for years they were the two suburbs people named when they wanted a house near Brisbane without a Brisbane price tag. So it is a fair question to ask which one still has stock under $700,000, and whether it is worth chasing. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Here is the straight answer, plus what you should actually be looking at in each suburb. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h2> <span> The short answer </span> </h2> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> As of the 12 months to June 2026, the median house price is $798,500 in Logan Central and $803,000 in Woodridge. Both have moved above $700,000, so a sub-$700K house in either suburb is no longer the typical purchase — it is the bottom quarter of the market. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Between the two, Logan Central gives you a slightly better shot at a house under $700,000, mainly because it is the smaller, quieter market with fewer buyers competing and a marginally lower median. Woodridge has more listings overall, but it has also run harder, with house values up 23.5% over the year compared to 18.3% in Logan Central. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> If you widen the search to townhouses and units, both suburbs still sit comfortably under $700,000 — and in Woodridge's case, well under. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h2> <span> Why $700,000 is the number that matters in Queensland </span> </h2> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> A lot of buyers pick $700K because it is a round number. In Queensland it is more than that. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Under the </span> <a href="https://qro.qld.gov.au/duties/transfer-duty/concessions/homes/first-home/" target="_blank"> Queensland first home concession </a> <span> , an eligible first home buyer purchasing an existing home valued at $700,000 or under pays no transfer duty at all. Above that, the concession starts phasing out, and it disappears entirely once the home is valued at $800,000 or more. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> In plain terms: buying at $699,000 instead of $730,000 does not just save you $31,000 on the purchase price. It can also save you several thousand dollars in duty on settlement day. That is real money in your pocket for the moving truck, the building and pest inspection, and the first few mortgage repayments. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> It is worth confirming your eligibility and your borrowing power before you start inspecting, because the two numbers together decide what you can genuinely chase. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h2> <span> Logan Central at a glance </span> </h2> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Logan Central is the administrative heart of Logan City, roughly 24 kilometres south of the Brisbane CBD. It is home to the council offices, the Logan Art Gallery, the library, and Logan Gardens — a 15.5-hectare park that is one of the nicer green spaces in the area. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Key numbers for the 12 months to June 2026: </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <ul> <li> <span> Median house price: $798,500, up 18.3% over the year </span> </li> <li> <span> Median unit price: $506,000, up 29.7% </span> </li> <li> <span> Median house rent: $595 per week, with a gross yield just over 4% </span> </li> <li> <span> Only 80 house sales in the year, with houses averaging 20 days on market </span> </li> </ul> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> That low sales volume is the important detail. Logan Central is a small suburb, so there simply is not much house stock changing hands. Fewer listings means fewer bargains — but also fewer buyers turning up to each open home. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h2> <span> Woodridge at a glance </span> </h2> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Woodridge is the larger, busier neighbour, about 22 kilometres from the CBD, with roughly twice the population of Logan Central. It has the train station, two primary schools, and easier access to the Logan Motorway. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Key numbers for the same period: </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <ul> <li> <span> Median house price: $803,000, up 23.5% over the year </span> </li> <li> <span> Median unit price: $570,000, up 36.5% </span> </li> <li> <span> Median house rent: $580 per week, with a gross yield around 3.8% </span> </li> <li> <span> 136 house sales in the year, with houses selling in an average of just 15 days </span> </li> </ul> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Fifteen days is fast. It tells you Woodridge is the more competitive of the two, and that anything priced sharply is unlikely to sit around waiting for you to think it over. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h2> <span> So where can you actually still buy under $700K? </span> </h2> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> In both suburbs, sub-$700K houses do still transact — you just need to know what they look like. Realistically, that budget buys you: </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <ul> <li> <span> An original lowset brick or fibro home, typically built in the 1970s or 1980s, unrenovated, on a 500–600 square metre block </span> </li> <li> <span> A smaller two-bedroom house, or a three-bedroom with a compromised layout </span> </li> <li> <span> A property on a busier road or backing onto commercial land </span> </li> <li> <span> A house needing genuine work — rewiring, restumping, a kitchen and bathroom from another era </span> </li> </ul> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Logan Central tends to have slightly more of this older, untouched stock relative to its size. Woodridge has more listings in total, so more raw opportunities cross the market — but they are picked up faster. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> If you are open to a townhouse or unit, the picture changes completely. Both suburbs have medians for units well under $600,000, which puts a modern, low-maintenance home comfortably inside the first home duty threshold with room to spare. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <strong> Not sure whether $700,000 is even your ceiling? </strong> <span> <span> Getting your finance sorted first is what turns a wish list into a shortlist. </span> </span> <a href="https://www.purposeproperty.com.au/mortgage-broker" target="_blank"> Talk to the team at Purpose Property about your borrowing power </a> <span> <span> before you spend another Saturday at open homes. </span> </span> </p> <h2> <span> <br/> Which suburb suits which buyer? </span> </h2> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> Choose Logan Central if you: </strong> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <ul> <li> <span> Want the best odds of finding a house under $700,000 </span> </li> <li> <span> Value being close to the council precinct, library, gallery and Logan Gardens </span> </li> <li> <span> Are buying to hold long term and are comfortable with a smaller, thinner market </span> </li> <li> <span> Are prioritising rental yield — Logan Central's house yield is the stronger of the two </span> </li> </ul> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> Choose Woodridge if you: </strong> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <ul> <li> <span> Need the train station and want a genuine commute option to the city </span> </li> <li> <span> Are buying with school-age children and want more choice </span> </li> <li> <span> Can move quickly and make decisions without a fortnight of deliberation </span> </li> <li> <span> Are looking at units, where growth has been strongest </span> </li> </ul> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Neither is a bad choice. They are close enough that the real decision usually comes down to which specific property you can secure, not which postcode name is on the contract. Our guide to the </span> <a href="https://www.purposeproperty.com.au/best-suburbs-first-home-buyers-greater-brisbane" target="_blank"> best suburbs for first home buyers in Greater Brisbane </a> <span> <span> puts both in wider context. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h2> <span> What to watch out for in both suburbs </span> </h2> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> A few things worth knowing before you commit: </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <ul> <li> <strong> Flood and overland flow. </strong> <span> <span> Parts of the Logan and Slacks Creek catchments have flood overlays. Always check the council flood mapping for the specific address, not the suburb. </span> </span> </li> <li> <strong> Renovation costs. </strong> <span> <span> A house at $650,000 that needs $90,000 of work is not a $650,000 house. Price the work before you offer, not after. </span> </span> </li> <li> <strong> Growth has already happened. </strong> <span> <span> Both suburbs have run close to 20% in a year. That is a strong result for existing owners, but it means you are buying after a big move, not before one. </span> </span> </li> <li> <strong> Rental demand is genuine. </strong> <span> <span> Logan City Council has committed a record $923 million to infrastructure in its 2026/27 budget, and population growth across the region continues to underpin demand. Rents in both suburbs sit near $600 a week for houses. </span> </span> </li> </ul> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> That last point matters if you are buying as an investor rather than to live in. Yields near 4% are respectable for a metropolitan Brisbane suburb, and both suburbs feature in our analysis of </span> <a href="https://www.purposeproperty.com.au/best-suburbs-rental-yields-greater-brisbane" target="_blank"> suburbs for optimising rental yields in Greater Brisbane </a> <span> . </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Buying in a market where houses sell in 15 days means you cannot afford to be unprepared. </span> <a href="https://www.purposeproperty.com.au/buying-process" target="_blank"> See how the Purpose Property buying process works </a> <span> <span> — or read more about how we help buyers across </span> </span> <a href="https://www.purposeproperty.com.au/locations/best-buyers-agent-logan" target="_blank"> Logan </a> <span> . </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h2> <span> Frequently asked questions </span> </h2> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h3> <span> Is Logan Central or Woodridge cheaper? </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Logan Central has a marginally lower median house price at $798,500, compared with $803,000 in Woodridge, for the 12 months to June 2026. The difference is small enough that individual properties matter far more than the suburb average. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h3> <span> Can you still buy a house under $700,000 in Logan in 2026? </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Yes, but it is now entry-level stock rather than the typical purchase. Expect an older, unrenovated home on a smaller block, or a property with a compromise such as a busy road frontage. Units and townhouses under $700,000 are far easier to find. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h3> <span> Which suburb has better capital growth? </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Woodridge houses grew 23.5% in the 12 months to June 2026, compared with 18.3% for Logan Central. Woodridge units grew 36.5%. Past growth is not a guarantee of future growth, and both suburbs have already moved substantially. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h3> <span> Do I pay stamp duty on a $700,000 home in Queensland? </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> If you are an eligible first home buyer purchasing an existing home valued at $700,000 or under, no transfer duty is payable. Between $700,001 and $799,999 a partial concession applies, and above $800,000 the first home concession no longer applies. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h2> <span> The bottom line </span> </h2> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Logan Central is the better hunting ground if a sub-$700K house is non-negotiable, purely because it is the smaller and slightly cheaper market. Woodridge is the better pick if transport, schools and unit stock matter more to you than squeezing under a specific number. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> But the honest answer is that in both suburbs, the sub-$700K house is now a genuine hunt rather than a shopping trip. Winning one takes finance that is ready to go, a clear brief, and the ability to act inside a fortnight. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> That is exactly where we come in. </span> <a href="https://www.purposeproperty.com.au/contact" target="_blank"> Get in touch with Purpose Property </a> <span> <span> and we will help you work out what you can borrow, what you should be paying, and how to secure the right property in Logan before someone else does. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Property data sourced from </span> <a href="https://www.yourinvestmentpropertymag.com.au/top-suburbs/qld/4114-woodridge" target="_blank"> Your Investment Property Magazine </a> <span> <span> suburb reports for the 12 months to June 2026.

Compare fees, pricing models, and what you can expect to pay before buying property. <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> Buyer’s agent fees are one of the first things Brisbane buyers look into before deciding whether to get professional support. With property prices continuing to rise in 2026, understanding the full cost of buying, including agent fees, plays an important role in planning your next move. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Without a clear breakdown of how pricing works, it can be difficult to assess what you’re paying for or whether the fee aligns with the value provided. That’s where understanding common fee structures and inclusions can help you make a more informed decision. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> A Brisbane buyer’s agent, such as </span> </span> <a href="/"> Purpose Property </a> <span> , works exclusively for you and charges a fee to manage the purchase from search through to settlement. This fee reflects the time, expertise, and access they provide, including sourcing properties, assessing value, negotiating the price, and guiding the process. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> This guide breaks down how much a buyer’s agent costs in Brisbane in 2026, including typical pricing models and what you can expect to pay. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <h2> <span> <br/> Understanding Buyer’s Agent Fees in Brisbane </span> </h2> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Buyer’s agent fees in Brisbane typically vary depending on the level of service, property price, and complexity of your search. Most agents use one of two pricing models: a fixed fee or a percentage-based fee. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> A fixed fee is agreed upfront and does not change, while a percentage fee is calculated based on the purchase price. Both models are common, but the structure can influence how costs are perceived and managed. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Let’s break down the common pricing structures below. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <h2> <span> <br/> Brisbane Buyer’s Agent Pricing Models Explained </span> </h2> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Buyer’s agent fees in Brisbane vary depending on how the service is structured, and the pricing model can affect how you plan your budget. Knowing how each model works, including typical cost ranges, helps you compare options and avoid unexpected expenses. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <h3> <span> 1. Fixed Fee Model </span> </h3> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> A fixed fee means you agree on a set price before the search begins, regardless of the final purchase price. In Brisbane, fixed fees typically range from $10,000 to $20,000 for standard residential purchases. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> For example: </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <ul> <li> <span> Buying at $700,000 → fee stays around $10,000–$15,000 </span> </li> <li> <span> Buying at $1,000,000 → fee remains the same </span> </li> </ul> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> This gives you cost certainty and removes any link between the agent’s fee and the property price. Brisbane buyer’s agents, like </span> </span> <a href="/"> Purpose Property </a> <span> , often uses structured pricing so clients know upfront what they are paying. This model suits buyers who want transparency and control over total costs. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <h3> <span> 2. Percentage-Based Fee Model </span> </h3> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> A percentage-based fee is calculated based on the final purchase price, usually between 1.5% and 2.5% in Brisbane. This means the total fee increases as the property price rises. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> For example: </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <ul> <li> <span> $800,000 property → $12,000 to $20,000 fee </span> </li> <li> <span> $1,200,000 property → $18,000 to $30,000 fee </span> </li> </ul> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> This structure may suit higher-value purchases or more complex searches. However, it’s important to check if there is a minimum fee or capped percentage. Always ask for a clear estimate so you can compare it with fixed fee options. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <h3> <span> 3. Tiered or Hybrid Pricing Model </span> </h3> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Some buyer’s agents use a combination of fixed and percentage-based pricing. This usually includes a smaller upfront fee plus a success fee once a property is secured. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> A typical structure may look like: </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <ul> <li> <span> $3,000–$5,000 engagement fee upfront </span> </li> <li> <span> 1%–2% success fee on purchase price </span> </li> </ul> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> For example: </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <ul> <li> <span> $900,000 property → $9,000–$18,000 success fee + upfront fee </span> </li> </ul> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> This model spreads the cost and ties part of the fee to the outcome. It can suit buyers who prefer a lower upfront commitment but still want full service support. </span> </p> <h3> <span> <br/> 4. Project-Based or Custom Pricing </span> </h3> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> In some cases, pricing is tailored based on your specific brief, especially for high-value properties or more complex searches. In Brisbane, this can range from $15,000 to $40,000+, depending on scope and property type. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> This may apply if you are: </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <ul> <li> <span> Buying in tightly held or high-demand suburbs </span> </li> <li> <span> Searching for off-market or investment-grade properties </span> </li> <li> <span> Building a property portfolio </span> </li> </ul> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> Brisbane buyer’s agents, like </span> </span> <a href="/"> Purpose Property </a> <span> , typically outlines the scope and pricing clearly before starting, so you know exactly what is included. A customised approach gives flexibility, but it’s important to confirm all inclusions upfront to avoid surprises. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <h2> <span> <br/> Factors That Affect Buyer’s Agent Costs in Brisbane </span> </h2> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Not all fees are the same, and pricing can vary based on your situation. Key factors include: </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <ul> <li> <span> Property price range </span> </li> <li> <span> Type of property (house, unit, investment) </span> </li> <li> <span> Level of service required </span> </li> <li> <span> Complexity of the search </span> </li> <li> <span> Competition in your target suburbs </span> </li> </ul> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> A more complex brief or highly competitive area may require more time and strategy, which can influence pricing. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <h2> <span> <br/> Are Buyer’s Agent Fees Worth It in Brisbane? </span> </h2> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The value of a buyer’s agent often comes down to what you gain during the purchase, not just the fee itself. Looking at how they impact your outcome can help you decide if the cost is justified. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Here are key ways a buyer’s agent can deliver value: </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <ul> <li> <span> Avoid overpaying through data-backed price assessment </span> </li> <li> <span> Access off-market and pre-market properties with less competition </span> </li> <li> <span> Save time by filtering unsuitable listings and handling inspections </span> </li> <li> <span> Negotiate purchase terms to reduce price and improve conditions </span> </li> <li> <span> Manage the process from search to settlement to minimise risks </span> </li> </ul> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> When these factors are considered together, the fee is often offset by the outcome achieved during the purchase. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> If you’re planning to buy in Brisbane, call our buyer’s agents at </span> </span> <a href="/"> Purpose Property </a> <span> <span> today on </span> </span> <a href="tel:0414 663 531"> 0414 663 531 </a> <span> <span> to discuss your plans and take the next step with a structured approach. </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <h2> <span> <br/> FAQs </span> </h2> <h3> <br/> </h3> <h3> <span> How much do buyer’s agents charge in Brisbane? </span> </h3> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Buyer’s agent fees in Brisbane typically range from $10,000 to $25,000 for fixed fees, or around 1.5% to 3% of the purchase price. </span> </p> <h3> <br/> </h3> <h3> <span> Do buyer’s agents charge upfront fees? </span> </h3> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Some buyer’s agents charge an initial engagement fee, with the remaining balance paid after securing a property. </span> </p> <h3> <br/> </h3> <h3> <span> Is a fixed fee or percentage better? </span> </h3> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> A fixed fee offers cost certainty, while a percentage fee scales with the property price. The better option depends on your budget and preference. </span> </p> <h3> <br/> </h3> <h3> <span> Are buyer’s agent fees negotiable? </span> </h3> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> In some cases, fees may be negotiable depending on the scope of service or property value, but this varies by agency. </span> </p> <h3> <br/> </h3> <h3> <span> Do buyer’s agents get paid by sellers? </span> </h3> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> No. Buyer’s agents are paid by the buyer, which ensures they represent your interests throughout the purchase. </span> </p> <h3> <br/> </h3> <h3> <span> Can a buyer’s agent save me money? </span> </h3> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Yes. Through negotiation and market analysis, a buyer’s agent can help you avoid overpaying and identify better-value opportunities. </span> </p> <h3> <br/> </h3> <h3> <span> When do I pay a buyer’s agent? </span> </h3> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Payment is usually split into stages, with an initial fee upfront and the balance payable once a property is successfully secured. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <h2> <span> <br/> Final Thoughts </span> </h2> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Buyer’s agent costs in Brisbane can vary depending on the pricing model, property price, and level of service provided.
