Logan Village has seen the highest rental growth for houses in the first quarter of this year, according to Domain’s March Quarterly Rental Report.
In the report, suburbs in the Logan local government area are classified within Brisbane, where rents increased by an average of $10 (1.5%) a week over the March quarter.
The median rent now sits at $680 for houses and $660 for units, both record highs.
At a suburb level, Logan is driving some of the strongest increases, particularly in traditionally more affordable areas.
Logan Village recorded a 23.3% increase in house rental prices compared to the same quarter in 2025, taking the average to $690 per week.
Chambers Flat followed, climbing 15.4% to $750, while Woodridge increased 12.5% to $540 and Bethania rose 12.1% to $600.
Head of property management at McGrath’s Springwood/Logan Central office, Rebecka Ware, said rising property prices and strong demand were key drivers behind the increases.
“It’s got to do a lot with the sales,” Ms Ware said.
“The house prices at the moment to buy are obviously rising, and they have been for ages now.”
“There are so many tenants, and there’s such high demand for property, so they’re achieving the prices because people need housing.”
Ms Ware said local factors were also influencing growth in specific suburbs.
“Chambers flat is predominantly a more rural area, but they’re doing lots of development out there at the moment,” Ms Ware said.
“Prices in Woodridge have gone up, particulalry in the last few months, so rentals are just following that trend.”
Other notable increases included Meadowbrook, up 11.1% to $700, and South MacLean, which lifted 10% to $630. Greenbank, Kingston and Tanah Merah all recorded gains of around 9.5%.
Despite the rising prices, demand remains high. Ms Ware said most listings continue to attract strong interest.
“Everything that we list we get at least 20 people at the first open home,” Ms Ware said.
A recent listing at 9 Wanda Street, Logan Central, a three-bedroom, one-bathroom house, was leased for $650 per week after 17 groups attended the first open home and 10 applications were submitted.
The property was leased within five days, Ms Ware said.
Vacancy rates in Brisbane tightened to 0.6% in March, down from 0.9% in December, leaving renters competing for a shrinking pool of homes.
Even as growth steadies, limited supply continues to drive prices higher across the region.
