Why buyers look at Caboolture
Caboolture is an established town centre north of Brisbane, anchored by its own hospital, TAFE and the North Coast (Caboolture) rail line into the city. It sits inside the City of Moreton Bay, now home to 532,445 people as at 30 June 2025, one of Australia's largest and steadiest-growing councils.

What makes Caboolture work for a long-term home:
- Established centre. A working town centre with a hospital, TAFE and retail, rather than a brand-new estate waiting for services to catch up.
- Rail to Brisbane. The North Coast (Caboolture) line connects the area directly into Brisbane, anchoring it to the city's job market.
- A new growth front next door. Waraba (Caboolture West) is a Priority Development Area planned for up to about 30,000 homes, bringing decades of new community building right beside the existing town.
- Steady council growth. The City of Moreton Bay is now over half a million people and continues to grow year on year.
- Value relative to inner Brisbane. Caboolture offers a more accessible entry point than the inner suburbs while staying on the rail line.

What Pearson Bros Homes sells in Caboolture
We develop and sell completed, turnkey homes in the Moreton Bay corridor and finish them before they are listed. Rival builders in these corridors sell build-to-order house and land, which means two contracts, progress payments and a build wait. We sell the home already finished: one contract of sale at a fixed price, so you settle on a normal property timeline of about 30 to 60 days and move in or lease now. Every home carries a 7-year structural warranty under the QBCC Home Warranty Scheme and is built to the NCC 7-Star energy standard by FRD Homes (QBCC 15046435), a related builder under common family ownership.
First-home buyers of new homes pay nil Queensland transfer (stamp) duty with no value cap on contracts dated from 1 May 2025, and may access the First Home Guarantee with a 5 percent deposit and no LMI up to a $1,000,000 Greater Brisbane price cap. For SMSF buyers, note that a completed home is a single contract of sale with no build risk inside the fund, which can suit a cash purchase. A proposed ban on new SMSF residential borrowing was announced on 23 June 2026 and is expected to commence about mid-August 2026; it is not yet law, existing arrangements are grandfathered, and commercial property is excluded.
