According to HtAG Analytics, Landsborough is exhibiting a balanced sales supply alongside tight rental demand. Stock on Market sits at 0.41% and Inventory at 2.35 months — balanced against the ~3-month threshold — driving +14.4% YoY price growth and +9.7% YoY rent growth.
What the market data is signalling
Landsborough shows strong capital momentum: prices are up 14.4% year-on-year while rents have risen 9.7%, which typically signals solid demand from both buyers and renters. Sales supply metrics are mixed — Stock on Market is a neutral 0.41% and Inventory is a balanced 2.35 months — but the low vacancy of 0.82% points to tight rental conditions that support further rent growth. See the Markets in the Moment (MiM™) heatmap for a visual view of how Landsborough is stacking up.

What's behind the RCS™ score of 78
The HtAG RCS™ (Rating Composite Score) of 78 bundles independent assessments of risk minimisation, capital-growth potential and cashflow resilience into a single score. Viewing the underlying sub-scores helps you match Landsborough to your strategy — higher RCS suggests stronger alignment for long-term growth-focused investors, but check cashflow sub-scores if yield or short hold-periods matter.

Forward signals to watch
The vacancy rate — currently 0.82%: sustained sub‑1% vacancy typically implies ongoing rental scarcity, upward pressure on rents and stronger investor interest in buy-to-rent stock over the next 12–24 months.
The building approvals ratio — currently 6.55%: a high approvals ratio signals elevated construction activity that can translate into future supply pressure; monitor completions versus demand to judge timing and magnitude.
The Brisbane cycle phase: city-wide shifts in Brisbane's property cycle (expansion, slowdown or contraction) would materially influence local momentum in Landsborough — continued expansion supports stronger capital gains, while a city slowdown would likely cool price growth locally.

Area Risks
Property data alone won't flag the structural risks that can erode a long-hold position. Bushfire overlays, flood-zone exposure, and economic concentration sit outside the price feed but determine whether your capital is insurable, defensible, and structurally protected. Unlock to see.
Are there hidden structural risks shaping Landsborough's long-hold story?
Beyond the headline price, Landsborough carries risk signals a median can't show — hazard exposure from bushfire and flood overlays, and how narrowly local employment leans on a handful of sectors (the concentration the EDI score quantifies). Together these separate insurable, defensible long-holds from those carrying tail-risk that never surfaces in the headline number.

Supply & Demand
Landsborough's headline numbers show where the market is today. The two cards below answer where it's heading. Direction is what separates a buy from a wait.
Is housing supply tightening or building up?
Stock on Market is one number — the trend is what matters. SoM, inventory, building approvals and hold period together reveal whether the market is starving for stock (price pressure up) or quietly building a pipeline (pressure down).

Is buyer and renter demand heating up or cooling off?
Vacancy is one signal — the real question is whether demand is still building or quietly peaking. Days on market, vacancy, search index and clearance rate are the four pulse-points — when they diverge, they signal a turning point.

Fundamentals
Landsborough can look solid on the surface — but the three layers below separate markets that genuinely hold value from ones that only look like they do.
Is Landsborough genuinely stable - or just expensive?
IRSAD hints at affluence, but socio-economic strength alone doesn't guarantee resilience. Combined with the renter-to-owner balance and unit-to-house ratio, you get the three signals that separate a tightly-held submarket from one carrying hidden volatility.
