The National Property Research Co.
The National Property Research Company was founded in 1999 by the Managing Director, Matthew Gross. It was initially established as the sole research division for Herron Todd White in Brisbane with the company consulting directly to Kerry Herron on a monthly basis. In late 2001 The National Property Research Company expanded outside of Herron Todd White to grow into one of South East Queensland’s most respected property research firms.
The NPR Co. is a Brisbane based company that undertakes work all across Australia, with a particular expertise in the Queensland property market. The firm provides property market insights that are based on independent research and local market knowledge established through a wide network of property market contacts. As a result, clients receive the most up to date bespoke information and advice to ensure they make the most informed business decisions.
The National Property Research Company is a business based on wearing out boot leather, car tyres and plane seats. We believe that in order to really know what is happening in the property market you have to get out there and see what is actually happening. The best research is that which is conducted at the frontline. This is our specialty and we pride ourselves on it.
Since 1999, The National Property Research Company has found that statistics and data can, and often do lag behind what is actually happening on the ground. Through the firm’s extensive network of industry leaders, the highly qualified staff have developed an expertise at cutting through to the real issues. This has seen The National Property Research Company involved with over 24 UDIA award winning projects since 2004. A record we are intensely proud of.
As a highly independent research business, The National Property Research Company does not sell or market property. Our advice is relied upon by most of the ASX listed property firms, The State Government, Local Governments, the courts, large private firms and high net worth individuals.

Robust employment conditions but with poor household savings, low consumer confidence and generally weak retail conditions. Inflation remained stickier than we thought with Australia’s monetary policy lagging most of the advanced economies, many of which have now had multiple rate cuts.
The RBA’s hand must surely be hovering over the big red interest rate button as, like most of us it ponders just how there can be so much conflicting data that really doesn’t make a lot of sense. However it is all starting to line up in a more traditional sense and it really doesn’t look all that great. The Population Ponzi Scheme at this point really does have a lot to answer for and Australian’s are paying the price…both literally and figuratively.
With 2024 well underway, let’s take a look at some of the high level economic issues that are going to shape all property uses and some of the challenges that are going to need the RBA, Local, State and Federal government to act co-operatively as they mostly did during the pandemic. The blame game between these institutions in 2023 was not healthy for the country and effectively eroded confidence at all levels.
