New homes in Logan
Completed, move-in-ready homes in Logan, one of Queensland's fastest-growing council areas between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Each home is finished and sold under a single contract of sale, so you can settle and move in or lease now. Suited to owner-occupiers, first-home buyers, downsizers and investors alike.

How do I buy a finished new home in Logan?
You buy it the same way you buy any established house. Inspect the completed home, get your finance approved, sign one contract of sale, then settle, usually 30 to 60 days later. There is no build contract, no progress payments and no construction stage to wait through, because the house is finished before it is listed.
The six steps, in the order they happen:
- Get finance pre-approval. Talk to your bank or broker before you start looking, so you know what you can borrow and can sign with a current approval in hand. A completed home settles on a normal property timeline, so a stale pre-approval is a problem rather than a formality.
- Inspect the home. The house exists, so you walk through finished rooms, check the fixtures and appliances, and look at the street and the estate as they stand today. You are not reading a floor plan or touring a display home and hoping the finished product matches it.
- Line up building and pest. On a Queensland contract this is normally a condition with its own date, so the inspection happens after signing and before the contract goes unconditional. Book your inspector early. Because the house is standing, the report covers the actual roof space, subfloor and wet areas.
- Have your solicitor or conveyancer review the contract. One contract of sale, not a land contract plus a build contract. Your solicitor checks the title and searches, the settlement date, the deposit terms, the finance and building and pest dates, and how cooling-off applies to your contract.
- Sign the contract and pay the deposit. The deposit amount and when it is payable are terms of the contract, and it is held in a trust account. From here it is a standard Queensland conveyance run by your solicitor.
- Settle, then move in or lease it. Settlement is usually 30 to 60 days after the contract date. On settlement day the title transfers and you collect the keys, and because the home is finished you can move in or hand it to a property manager straight away.
Every home carries a 7-year structural warranty under the QBCC Home Warranty Scheme, is built to the NCC 7-Star energy standard and comes with a 12-month post-handover maintenance period. The full settlement sequence, including the pre-settlement inspection, is set out in how to buy a finished home.
What help is available to a first home buyer in Logan?
The main one is Queensland's first home (new home) transfer duty concession. From 1 May 2025 an eligible first home buyer pays nil transfer duty on a new home, with no property value cap, so it applies at the $900,000 to $1,000,000 prices we sell at. Eligibility is set by the Queensland Revenue Office, not by Pearson Bros Homes.
- Transfer duty: nil. The first home (new home) concession removes transfer duty for an eligible first home buyer of a new home, on contracts dated on or after 1 May 2025. Unlike the older first home concessions, it carries no property value cap, which is why it still reaches a completed house at our price point. The Queensland Revenue Office sets the conditions: you must be at least 18, you must never have held an interest in residential land in Queensland or anywhere else, you must buy as an individual rather than through a company or trust, and you must move in within 1 year of settlement and live there for at least 1 continuous year. The rules are on the QRO first home (new home) concession page.
- First Home Guarantee: a 5 percent deposit. The Commonwealth scheme lets an eligible first home buyer purchase with a 5 percent deposit. Eligibility, the property price caps and the conditions are set by Housing Australia, so check your position there and with your lender before you count on it.
- First Home Owner Grant: $30,000, but not at our prices. The Queensland grant pays $30,000 on a new home, but only where the home is valued at less than $750,000 including land. Pearson Bros Homes houses sit above that cap, so a buyer of one of our homes would not receive this grant. We say that plainly rather than let you build it into your numbers. The cap and the current rules are on the QRO first home grant page.
Transfer duty concessions and the first home grant are administered by the Queensland Revenue Office; the First Home Guarantee is administered by Housing Australia. Pearson Bros Homes does not set or assess eligibility for any of them, and nothing here is financial, tax or legal advice. Confirm your own position with the Queensland Revenue Office, your solicitor or conveyancer and your lender before you sign a contract. To model a specific price against your deposit, use the affordability calculator, or read the detail in the first home duty concession above $750,000.
Why people are buying in Logan
Logan was the fastest-growing local government area in Queensland in 2023/24, at 3.9 percent (QGSO), and its population reached 403,515 at 30 June 2025 (ABS via City of Logan). It added jobs at the same time, with 132,383 local jobs in the year to June 2024 (economy.id).

What makes the corridor work for buyers and investors:
- Location. Logan links Brisbane and the Gold Coast via the M1, Logan Motorway and the Beenleigh and Springfield rail lines, giving residents and tenants access to two major job markets.
- Growth fronts. Major planned communities are rising on Logan's edges. Greater Flagstone is planned for up to around 51,500 homes and about 138,000 people, and Yarrabilba for up to 20,000 dwellings and around 50,000 people (Economic Development Queensland), adding new neighbourhoods over coming decades.
- Local economy. Logan supported 132,383 local jobs in the year to June 2024 (economy.id), anchored by health, retail, construction and logistics employment.
- Mixed buyer base. Commuting families, key workers, first-home buyers and downsizers all draw on the corridor, supporting both resale and rental demand.
- Tight rental market. Greater Brisbane vacancy was about 0.9 percent in May 2026 (SQM Research), well below a balanced market.
What Pearson Bros Homes sells in Logan
Pearson Bros Homes sells completed, move-in-ready homes across Logan's growth precincts, finished before they are listed. Most builders in this corridor sell build-to-order house and land packages, which means two contracts, a land settlement plus a build contract, staged progress payments and a build wait before anyone can move in. Pearson Bros Homes sells the home already finished, under a single contract of sale, so you settle in about 30 to 60 days and move in or lease it straight away with no construction risk inside the deal. Every home carries a 7-year structural warranty under the QBCC Home Warranty Scheme and is built to the NCC 7-Star energy standard.
For investors, including SMSFs, buying a completed home means a property transfer rather than a build. A self-managed super fund can still buy a completed home outright with cash. New SMSF residential borrowing (LRBAs) is now legislated to end: the ban received royal assent on 26 June 2026 and commences on 10 August 2026, with existing arrangements and any contract exchanged before that date grandfathered, and commercial property excluded. The change limits new borrowing, not buying. Speak to your accountant. New to the structure? Read the SMSF property guide for how the single-contract approach works.

What help is available to a first home buyer in Logan?
The main one is Queensland's first home (new home) transfer duty concession. From 1 May 2025 an eligible first home buyer pays nil transfer duty on a new home, and that concession has no property value cap, so it applies at the $900,000 to $1,000,000 prices Pearson Bros Homes sells at. For contracts entered into from 1 August 2026, you must also be an Australian citizen, permanent resident or specified foreign retiree to claim the transfer duty concession. The Commonwealth First Home Guarantee allows an eligible first home buyer to purchase with a 5 percent deposit, with eligibility and price caps set by Housing Australia. The Queensland First Home Owner Grant pays $30,000 on a new home but only where the home is valued at less than $750,000 including land, so it does not apply to a Pearson Bros Homes house, which sits above that cap. Eligibility for the duty concession and the grant is set by the Queensland Revenue Office, not by Pearson Bros Homes.
What kind of homes does Pearson Bros Homes sell in Logan?
Completed, move-in-ready homes. Each home is finished before it is listed and sold under a single contract of sale, so the buyer settles on a finished property in about 30 to 60 days and can move in or lease it straight away. That suits owner-occupiers, first-home buyers, downsizers and investors. It is different from a house and land package, where you sign a land contract plus a build contract and wait through progress payments while the home is built.
How is a completed home different from a house and land package?
A house and land package is build-to-order: two contracts, staged progress payments and a build wait before you can move in. Pearson Bros Homes sells the home already finished under one contract of sale. You buy a property that exists, settle in roughly 30 to 60 days, and move in or lease it now with no build risk and no construction timeline to manage.
Is Logan a good area to buy a new home?

Whether it suits your goals depends on your circumstances, so seek your own advice.
Can I still buy residential property in my SMSF in 2026?
Yes, an SMSF can still buy a completed home outright with cash.

Existing arrangements and any contract exchanged before 10 August 2026 are grandfathered, and commercial property is excluded. The change limits new borrowing, not buying, so an SMSF can still purchase a completed home with cash. Speak to your accountant or a licensed SMSF specialist about your fund.
