Single-storey family homes on 420 sqm blocks in a growing town west of Ipswich, with its own school, supermarket and GP.
I scored 7 suburbs on this stocklist against my 10-criteria scorecard. None reached Feature. Walloon was one of 4 worth investigating, and these are the numbers that put it there.

Walloon’s rental market is tight and getting tighter. Vacancy fell over the past year while house rents rose 6.9%. Most households here own their home, which tends to mean a settled, family street rather than an investor-heavy one.
Growth is the driver. The surrounding statistical area grew 3.9% a year from 2020 to 2025 (ABS), and the state projects it to keep growing, from about 17,250 people in 2026 to about 24,400 in 2031 (QGSO, 2025 edition). New approvals are running at about 1.2 times what that growth needs (ABS, 12 months to August 2026). That’s close to balanced, not a flood.
