The decision to invest in property, whether in Queensland or elsewhere, depends on a variety of factors, including your financial situation, investment goals, market conditions, and economic trends.

To determine whether it's a good time to invest in property in Queensland, you should consider the local market conditions. Look at factors such as property prices, rental yields, vacancy rates, and demand for housing in the area where you're considering investing.

The overall economic health of Queensland is strong, including factors like job growth, population trends, and economic stability and so a strong economy often correlates with a healthy real estate market.
