Brisbane had a slow year for property price growth in 2010, at 3.6 per cent, while sales activity had dropped to its lowest level in a decade.
Meanwhile, rental rates have increased by a similar amount.
“This figure is in lieu of the low level of active buyers in the housing market and the high number of displaced residents following the January floods,” Mr Brown said.
