Logan by the numbers.
Structural figures, not market snapshots. Census data does not move between quarters the way a median does, which is why it is what appears here.
| Measure | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Population | 345,098 | ABS Census 2021 |
| Median age | 34 years | ABS Census 2021 |
| Households owned with a mortgage | 40.0% | ABS Census 2021 |
| Households renting | 34.6% | ABS Census 2021 |
| Households owned outright | 22.6% | ABS Census 2021 |
| Largest employer sector | Hospitals — 3.7% of workers | ABS Census 2021 |
| Second largest | Supermarkets — 3.4% of workers | ABS Census 2021 |
We do not publish current median prices, vacancy rates or yields on this page. Those figures move, they differ depending on whether the geography is a suburb, postcode or statistical area, and published sources frequently disagree with each other by a wide margin. Current numbers for a specific suburb are what the research work produces — the method is set out here.
What actually drives the Logan market.
“Logan” is not a market.
This is the whole point of the page. Logan holds roughly 345,000 people across more than sixty suburbs, running from established middle-ring suburbs a short drive from Brisbane, through the older and cheaper centre, out to acreage and large new estates in the south. The spread between those in price, tenant profile, flood exposure, body corporate structure and resale depth is wider than the spread between many entirely separate towns. Anyone giving you a view on “Logan” as a single thing is telling you about a postcode, not a property.
The most mortgaged place in Queensland.
40.0% of Logan households were paying a mortgage at the 2021 Census, the highest share of anywhere we write about, with only 22.6% owning outright and a median age of 34. This is a young city carrying debt. It responds to interest rate movements faster and harder than a retirement coast or a mortgage-free farming district, in both directions, and that belongs in any assessment of what a downturn would look like here.
No single employer, which is a strength.
The largest employer sector was hospitals at just 3.7%, then supermarkets 3.4%, takeaway food 2.7%, social assistance 2.6% and road freight 2.5%. Nothing dominates. Logan sits inside the South East Queensland labour market rather than depending on a local industry, which means the concentration risks that shape Gladstone, Mackay or Mount Isa simply do not apply here. The risks in Logan are property-specific and suburb-specific instead.
It is the most heavily promoted investment postcode in the south east.
Low entry prices plus solid yields inside a capital city commuter belt make an easy story to sell from a desk in another state, and Logan has been sold that way for years. That is not a reason to avoid it. It is a reason for more scrutiny rather than less. Where a market is heavily promoted, a share of the stock being promoted was selected to suit the seller, and the gap between the marketing price and what genuinely comparable properties actually sold for tends to be wider than average.
Flood is a Logan question, not a coastal one.
The Logan and Albert rivers flood, and creek and overland flow reach properties nowhere near either. Council flood mapping runs to the individual property and should be read before an offer. It changes the insurance premium, it affects lender appetite, and it is priced into some streets and not into others.
What we watch for in Logan.
- The suburb and the street, before anything else. In Logan the difference between two suburbs ten minutes apart can be larger than the difference between two cities.
- Flood, creek and overland flow mapping for the specific lot, then the insurance quote, then the lender's view.
- Who is selling it to you and why. If a property arrives via a marketing group, an accountant referral or a free seminar, find out who is being paid by whom before you look at the numbers.
- Genuine comparable sales rather than the marketing price. This is the market where that gap is widest.
- New estate and off-the-plan stock in the southern growth corridor, where the developer is still setting your comparables and your resale competes with the next release.
- Body corporate levies, sinking funds and defect history in townhouse and unit complexes.
- Buying unseen from interstate is common here and is where most of the avoidable mistakes happen.
What it costs.
Flat fees. Not a percentage of what you pay for the property, so there is no mechanism by which we benefit from you spending more.
Fifteen minutes. Whether we are the right fit, and whether you need us at all.
Where to buy and why, with the data behind it. You can act on it yourself afterwards.
Search, assess, inspect, negotiate and settle. End to end.
Where we work.
Coppick Property Advisory holds a Queensland real estate licence and works on Queensland property. Within that, these are the markets we know best.
Worth reading first.
Two short guides from our library that do the most for Logan buyers: how to find what a property actually sold for (the list price is a marketing number), and who the agent at the open home really works for. When you are ready to cost a purchase, the Queensland stamp duty calculator has the full 2026 rate table. And before you sign with anyone — including us — run them through the ten questions to ask any buyers agent.
Common questions.
Does Coppick Property Advisory work in Logan?
Yes. Coppick Property Advisory is a licensed Queensland buyers agency (QLD Real Estate Licence 4961592) and Logan is within its service area.
What does a buyers agent cost in Logan?
Coppick charges flat fees, not a percentage of the purchase price: a free 15-minute discovery call, a Strategy Session at $899, and Full Buyers Agency at $11,500. Fees are agreed in writing before work begins and do not change with the price you pay for the property.
Is Logan a good place to invest?
That question cannot be answered at the Logan level, and anyone who answers it at the Logan level is guessing. Logan is a city of roughly 345,000 people across more than sixty suburbs, running from established middle-ring suburbs near Brisbane, through the older and lower-priced centre, out to acreage and new estates in the south. The variation between those in price, tenant profile, flood exposure and resale depth is larger than the variation between many separate towns. The suburb and the street decide the outcome here, not the postcode.
Why is Logan marketed so heavily to interstate investors?
Because it has long combined low entry prices with strong rental yields inside a capital city commuter belt, which is an easy story to sell from a distance. That is not a reason to avoid Logan. It is a reason to be more careful, not less. Where a market is heavily promoted, some of the stock being promoted has been selected for the seller rather than for you, and the gap between what a property is marketed at and what comparable properties actually sold for tends to be wider than average.
Do you take commission from selling agents or developers?
No. Coppick accepts no commission, kickback or referral fee from sellers, developers, agents, brokers or any other party, in either direction. The buyer is the only party who pays, which is what keeps the advice independent.
Will you tell me not to buy?
Yes, and we will. A recommendation to walk away is a legitimate outcome of the work. An agency paid a percentage of the purchase price has a structural reason to find a reason to buy. A flat fee removes that.

Fifteen minutes, no obligation, and a genuine answer about whether you need a buyers agent at all. Sometimes the answer is no, and saying so is part of the job.
