(about us)
A New Way
To Buy Property
The Brisbane property market is stepping into a new era of growth and desirability — but the process of buying here has become increasingly overwhelming.
Homes vanish before you can even inspect them, information is withheld, and every open home feels like a competition.
Cobalt Property exists to bring order back to the buying process. We are the leading Brisbane buyers agency in delivering a private, transparent, buyer-first way to secure the right home.

Rare Opportunity In A High Growth Pocket
An interstate buyer needed local expertise and direct access to high-growth investment properties at a reasonable price point. We secured this townhouse three weeks before it hit the market, avoiding auction. With substantial land in a blue-chip location, it offers strong capital growth and rental yield — an excellent long-term hold investment property.

Why can't I rely on a sales agent to help me?
Real estate agents work for the seller, not the buyer. Their job is to secure the best possible result for the vendor. Buyers can't rely on them for guidance on price, negotiation strategy, or whether a property purchase truly suits their needs. Unlike sales agents, a buyers advocate or buyer's agent represents the buyer only.

Is 2026 a good time to buy in Brisbane?
It is currently a strong time for buying property in Brisbane given the market is trending upwards for the next 2 years as least — but only if you secure the right home at the right purchase price. The Brisbane real estate property market remains competitive, so having a clear strategy is critical to avoid overpaying in today’s conditions.
