Brisbane house prices are up 93% in 5 years. Is it time to admit we aren't the "affordable alternative" anymore?

Just saw the data that house prices have basically doubled since 2021. I remember when moving to Brissy was the "smart financial move" to escape Sydney and Melbourne prices. Now, I’m looking at a 2-bedroom fixer-upper in Strathpine and wondering if I need to sell a kidney just for the deposit. For those who bought pre-2021: How does it feel to be sitting on a gold mine that’s surrounded by $7 coffee?

For those of us still renting: At what point do we all collectively move to Toowoomba and just pretend the Range is the new Mt Coot-tha?
