BRISBANE TOP END LEASING MARKET
A snapshot of Brisbane’s Top End residential leasing market, covering rentals above $2,000 per week. This segment represents only 0.31% of annual leasing activity, meaning short term movements can appear more volatile at a surface level. To provide a clearer view of activity, houses and apartments have been combined and shown as a 12 month rolling average.
At this level, rent is more closely tied to the individual property offering than to broader market averages. Activity levels help indicate executive tenant appetite, which can assist in understanding demand and guiding rent expectations.

Leasing activity is harder to verify than sales activity, as there is no formal transfer record or confirmed final lease price. While leased and withdrawn property indicators are available, they are not always accurate, particularly in relation to final rental price. Properties marked as leased but later found to be inaccurate, or properties confirmed below the reporting threshold, are removed from the analysis. Data is therefore subject to change.
Average Monthly Activity refers to the average number of verified leased properties per month.
To smooth short term volatility, activity is presented as a 12 month rolling average. Each month reflects total verified leases across that month and the preceding 11 months, divided by 12. For example, the January 2026 figure reflects average monthly leasing activity from February 2025 through January 2026.
