Property market overview for this Queensland suburb.
This market is the suburb as the publisher names and groups it in its own release. The boundary is the publisher’s naming, not a boundary APRIQ drew and not an ABS or postal polygon.
Completions in the March quarter 2026 were equivalent to 81% of commencements, for Queensland. These figures compare pipeline flows and do not track individual approved dwellings through construction.
Achieved rents moved +1.9% over the year, against +7.4% for the middle suburb in Queensland.
These signals are shown separately so you can see what is driving the market. Explore them under Demand & supply below.
At $550 a week, Ellen Grove is higher than 24% of the 563 QLD suburbs we hold.
Rents there are up 1.9% over the past year, slower than Queensland as a whole (up 8.3%).
Based on 37 new leases. That is a small sample, so read the trend rather than the latest number.
The most common new lease there was a three-bedroom townhouse, at $570 a week across 16 of them.
In June quarter 2026, the median weekly rent fell 1.8% on the quarter before, from $560 to $550. Across the 35 quarterly changes held here, 15 were larger.

Moderate
How much housing is being finished, against how much is being started.
| Dwellings completed, Queensland | 8,035 | March quarter 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Dwellings started, Queensland | 9,885 | March quarter 2026 |
| Completions as a share of commencements | 81% | March quarter 2026 |
Strong at or above 95% of commencements, weak below 80%, moderate in between — completions in the quarter compared with commencements in the same quarter, both stated beside this rule. These figures compare pipeline flows and do not track individual approved dwellings through construction.
Low
How fast achieved rents are rising, against the rest of the state.
| Rent change over a year, Ellen Grove | +1.9% | June quarter 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Rent change over a year, the middle suburb in Queensland | +7.4% | June quarter 2026 |
High when rents rose at least one percentage point faster than the state, low when at least a point slower, moderate in between. Compared against the state rather than the nation because each bond authority defines its own series: changes compare, levels do not.
Not enough evidence

Rising more slowly than most of Queensland
How rents here moved over a year, against the typical suburb in Queensland.
| Rent change over a year here | +1.9% | June quarter 2026 against a year earlier |
|---|---|---|
| The middle suburb in Queensland | +7.4% | June quarter 2026 against a year earlier |
| Difference | −5.6 percentage points | June quarter 2026 against a year earlier |
| Markets in the comparison | 563 | June quarter 2026 against a year earlier |
The difference between this market’s one-year rent change and the middle change across every suburb the same publisher reports, in percentage points: 3 or more above is well above, 1 above is above, within 1 either way is in line. Changes are compared within one state because each bond authority defines its own series — movement may be compared between them, the rent itself may not.

Counted for Ellen Grove on Census night, 10 August 2021. A Census count is a stock on one night, not a series: it cannot show a trend, and five years on it describes 2021, not today. It is here because how many households there are and how many people share a dwelling are the denominators every demand question eventually needs.

Dwelling approvals are published by council area, not by suburb, and an approval is counted for the boundary that granted it — so none are shown here rather than another area’s. The council it sits in, Brisbane City, carries the approval series and the delivery reading.
Not enough evidence
How many dwellings this market approved over twelve months for every thousand residents, against the national rate. Approvals are permission to build, not completed dwellings.
Dwelling approvals are published by council area, and this market is not one.
Counted for Ellen Grove on Census night, 10 August 2021. The stock every approval above eventually adds to, as it stood on one night in 2021. The occupied count is the households figure under Demand — the ABS definition makes them one count, so it is printed once rather than twice. The occupied and unoccupied counts are separately rounded by the ABS and do not exactly sum to the total, so no missing figure is derived here.

No APRIQ forward rent forecast is published for Ellen Grove yet. The forecasting model remains in historical backtesting.
The method’s public record so far, across every market at once and clearly a backtest, not a prediction: at 1 quarter ahead, 83.8% of 10,476 graded backtests landed inside their ranges, at a median width of ±7.9%.
See the full historical record on the forecast scorecard. Backtest results describe historical model performance, not a prediction for this market.

Strong needs 200 or more new leases behind the current figure; moderate needs 50. Fewer than that reads as thin: one unusual property can move the figure. A withheld count cannot earn better than thin, because a suppressed number is unknown rather than small. How current the figure is, is a separate fact stated as dates beside this reading, never folded into this word.
Which period the current rent figure describes, how it sits against the newest quarter published anywhere, and whose clock dated it — as dates, because a graded word would hide exactly the part worth checking.
