Brisbane’s most-viewed homes of the year have been revealed
Brisbane’s most-viewed homes of the year are driving a new trend in luxury real estate, and it’s all about the garage.
From a 15-car showroom in Gumdale to a fully equipped mechanic pit in Wishart and an inner-city mansion with a Ferrari-themed basement, the top five listings have an astounding 54 car spaces between them.
PropTrack data shows the River City’s ten most popular listings recorded an average of about 43,000 views each on realestate.com.au in the 12 months to October.
While the top homes spanned postcodes and price points, buyers were particularly drawn to properties with plenty of space to park, as high-spec garages cemented their status as prestige property’s must-have perk for 2025.

A high-octane acreage haven in Brisbane’s east took the chequered flag in the city’s views race, notching up 53,713 clicks.
Inspired by global travels and an interest in car racing, owner Steve Cooper’s trophy home at 18 Judd St, Gumdale was set across five pavilions with a 15-car garage bigger than the average house at 375 sqm.
Marketing agent Tyson Clarke of Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty said the property’s appeal for rev heads was amplified by an additional four-car garage and two super-sized sheds.
“This is a house which has so many unique parts to it,” Mr Clarke said.
“Even if you’re not a car collector, the house is mind-blowing.”
The property is set over five pavilions plus the garage
The 2021-built property was listed in November 2024 with price hopes north of $10.5m.
Next most viewed was 62 Norfolk Pl, Wishart with 52,979 clicks.
This 16-bedroom suburban surprise includes a 16-car basement garage covering 423 sqm with painted concrete floors and trickle charging points.
There is a separate workshop area with service pit and roller door, plus a stainless steel bench with sink – perfect for washing parts.
But despite heated interest, the right buyer is yet to be secured.
“The phones did not stop ringing for this one,” Place Sunnybank agent Jess Chia said when the property was first listed.
“We had enquiries from families, people who have thought about running a small business from the garage and car collectors.”

In third spot was a commanding “faux Federation” style house with a triple plus extra tandem car garage at 16 Clematis Court, Cashmere, sold in June for $1.85m and garnering 45,306 online views.
Next up was the ultra-luxe ‘Mosman’, a newly built home at 23 Henderson St, Bulima with a Ferrari-themed eight-car garage (44,476 views).
The five-bedroom residence also had a beach club back yard, yoga studio, roulette table, and a bespoke circular staircase that cost $250,000.
A fully tiled garage with a mural wall depicting Ferrari Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc completed the home, which was owned by Michael and Natalie Ajaje, of FBI Interiors.
“The basement ensures there’s parking for everyone, but it could also easily be converted to a fully standalone living space,” Mr Ajaje said.

Mr Clarke noted an uptick in discretionary spending on luxury items like cars as Brisbane’s wealth grew.
“If you have garaging for more than three cars, straight away you open up your property to that luxury market and that is the big differentiator,” Mr Clarke said.
“Without that, your luxury buyer who has a weekend car, a Ferrari or a Porsche, they don’t even look at it.”
With newer home designs prioritising garaging, these spaces had evolved beyond mere parking.
“Garages are no longer just somewhere to park your car, they are becoming a destination within the home in their own right.”

Buyers sought clean, dust-free environments for admiring their collections, often incorporating amenities like wine cellars, offices, bars, or workshops to create a true retreat.
Other properties ranked among Brisbane’s most-viewed this year included a grand Queenslander estate in Ipswich, a tiny home on a massive Sunshine Coast Hinterland parcel which sold for $830,000, and a dilapidated house in ritzy Paddington sold for $3.1m.
REA economist Eleanor Creagh said the listings with the most views were homes “people love to look at”, rather than ones they intended to buy.
“Viral listings tend to be aspirational, with a wow factor or something unusual, whether that’s dramatic views, luxury price points, architectural design, big blocks, or a property that feels more like a resort than a home,” she said.
