Our model

How we choose — the Meridian research model

We don't follow hype or proximity. Every market is scored against the fundamentals that actually move prices. Tap a factor to see how we weigh it.

Population & migration

Sustained population growth and net migration create the underlying demand that drives long-term price and rental growth. We track where people are actually moving — and where housing hasn't yet caught up.

+2.1%Brisbane annual population growth

Infrastructure & investment

Major transport, health, education and government investment reshapes a city and re-rates the suburbs around it. We map committed pipelines, not promises, to find areas about to benefit.

$119.2bnBrisbane infrastructure pipeline

Supply & vacancy

Where new dwelling supply lags demand and rental vacancy is tight, both prices and rents feel upward pressure. Structural undersupply is one of the strongest signals in our model.

0.9%Brisbane rental vacancy

Affordability

Relative affordability tells us how much runway a market has left. A capital priced well below the southern cities can keep growing long after they stall.

31.7%Brisbane income-to-mortgage vs Sydney 40.4%

Economy & jobs

A diverse, growing economy with strong employment underpins borrowing capacity and demand. We weigh jobs growth, industry mix and major economic drivers.

$225bnBrisbane economy

Owner-occupier depth

Suburbs with deep owner-occupier demand hold value through cycles — you're not relying on other investors to sell to. We favour markets real families want to live in.

The independent panel

Research stress-tested by economists — not salespeople

Every recommendation is challenged by our Investor Panel: independent property economists who pressure-test the data before it ever reaches you.

Common questions

The things people ask us first

How much does it cost to get started?+

The initial strategy call is free and there's no obligation. We'll be transparent about any fees before you commit to anything.

How long does the process take?+

It varies with your goals and the market, but most clients move from strategy call to secured property within a few months — typically 4 to 8 weeks once we're searching.

Do I need finance approved first?+

Not necessarily — we can help you understand your borrowing capacity and coordinate finance as part of the process.

What if I'm a first-time investor?+

Most of our clients are. The whole process is built to make a six-figure decision feel clear and guided, step by step.

Are you tied to any developers?+

No. We take no developer kickbacks — we're paid to find you the right property, which keeps our research independent and our advice honest.
