Sydney saw property values increase by 60% between the 1993 Olympic announcement and the 2000 Games, with growth rates of 7-8% per annum. Brisbane's property market has already experienced strong growth, rising 80% over the past five years, and is positioned for continued appreciation driven by Olympic infrastructure investment.
Property value increase from announcement (1993) to Games (2000)
Median price growth during G20 Summit period (2003-2015)
Trough-to-peak growth over the past 5 years
Chart Notes: The "Olympic Impact Scenario" projection is based on historical patterns from Sydney 2000 Olympics (7-8% annual growth during build-up) and Brisbane's G20 period performance. The "Normal Growth Scenario" assumes Brisbane's long-term historical average of 5.9% annual appreciation. Both scenarios incorporate the Brisbane market's current position (October 2025 median dwelling value: $924,498) and extend through four years post-Games to capture the lasting legacy effect observed in previous host cities.
