Allen Real Estate has been generating market-beating returns in the Brisbane real estate
market since the 1980s, and helping others purchase their ideal property since 2009.
Let’s take a look back in time to see how we got here…
1988
Brisbane Comes of Age
Founder and Director of Allen Real Estate, Andrew Allen, grew up in Brisbane and watched its transformation from large country town to vibrant, in-demand city with great interest. Hosting the 1988 World Expo was a real watershed moment for Brisbane, drawing 15 million visitors and announcing its arrival on the world stage as a desirable city on the path to growth.
2003
A Property Boom
Like No Other
Australia as a whole outperformed other developed economies and enjoyed a prosperous decade. Above-average growth, fueled by large domestic demand, rising wages, falling unemployment and a strong international economy led to an increase in house prices and household wealth. Andrew Allen’s eyes were opened to the power of property and the incredible returns a growing market can generate.
2005
Laying the Foundations
Having found success in the property market himself through investing, Andrew took to travelling and living between the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Europe. During this time, he studied the local markets and grew his own investment portfolio substantially. Little did he know, he was laying the foundations for what would become Allen Real Estate.
2009
Allen Real Estate is Founded
Although Andrew had a young family to support, his own success in property investing gave him the confidence to translate his passion, knowledge and experience into a thriving business. Allen Real Estate was born to help property buyers secure their ideal property in Brisbane.
2011
When it Rains, it Pours
The 2011 floods were a dark time for the city. But when disaster struck, Brisbanites pulled together to rebuild their homes and return the city to its normal vitality. From a property perspective, it left many investors ruined. Fortunately, forward planning, extensive research and due diligence meant that no property purchased through Allen Real Estate were impacted by the floods.
2013
Buy, Buy, Buy!
This was the year Allen Real Estate hit a huge milestone – more than 100 million dollars worth of property purchased…and they were showing no signs of slowing down. Andrew credits much of their success to their strong relationships with property buyers; the majority of customers are referral and repeat buyers that are pleased with their results and the team’s way of working.
2014
Expansion
With rapid business growth came the need
to add to the Allen Real Estate Team. Enter Micah Keall-Grant – a registered QLD buyer’s agent with impressive knowledge of the Brisbane Property market. An investor himself, Micah developed a keen eye for high-quality investment properties and market trends through substantial research and reading.
2017
Growth is on the Horizon
Though the value differential between Brisbane and both Sydney and Melbourne was growing, Brisbane’s property market was buoyed by the overall growth of the Australian housing market. This trend made Brisbane a more attractive proposition for value-hungry investors operating on a 5-10 year timeframe.
2021
The Start of the
Roaring 20'S
This year saw a property boom that rivalled the heady days of 2003.
Emerging from lockdown with a huge amount of pent up energy, buyers competed themselves into a frenzy buying property and the prices soared.
2023
RETURN TO BALANCE
The massive 2021 boom was replaced with the doldrums of 2022 when cost of living pressures started interest rates on their upward trend, resulting in house prices falling approximately 15%.
2023 saw a return to balance in the market and savvy buyers taking advantage of the excellent buying conditions to secure high quality properties.
Growth returned to the market for the second part of 2023 and Brisbane fully recovered from the cyclical low, achieving a new all time high by the end of the year and overtaking Melbourne as the third most expensive capital city.
2024
LOW SUPPLY, HIGH DEMAND
2024 started off with a bang as open homes were packed right across the city and in all price ranges. Limited supply of properties and healthy demand is the situation on the ground as we look to continue building our clients property portfolios for the future.
Let’s Look to the Future…
2032
THE GAMES
The year of the Brisbane Olympic Games.
