Payne Haas has taken on more responsibility at home and on the field with stunning results.<\/p>\n

As the game\u2019s most feared forward, Payne Haas, prepares for a blockbuster move south, this is how he has already set himself up for life beyond the Broncos.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old has built a strong foundation off the field, raising a young family in Brisbane while becoming one of the most influential players in the NRL \u2013 with his off-field wealth growing more than $850,000 from two investment decisions.<\/p>\n

Two years ago, he purchased a $3.55 million family home just minutes from Suncorp Stadium, the Broncos\u2019 home ground \u2013 a property that has surged in value amid the Queensland capital\u2019s housing boom. <\/p>\n

The home is one of the city\u2019s hottest targets for families seeking move-in-ready homes, in an area where house prices have jumped 67 per cent over the past five years. <\/p>\n

Its current estimated value runs as high as $3.98 million, representing a potential $430,000 gain if Haas chose to sell it when he makes the move to Sydney.<\/p>\n

If rented, RP Data valuations suggest it could fetch about $1,100 a week ($4,766 a month). This is well below the $17,500\u2013$18,500 monthly repayments on a 30-year mortgage with a 20 per cent deposit and a circa $2.84 million loan. <\/p>\n

However, the key Broncos player is on an estimated $3.5 million three-year deal, which, assuming roughly $1 million per year salary, would bring in around $45,000 a month after tax<\/p>\n

The home would create a frenzy among buyers, especially young families, thanks to its location, high-end appliances, butler\u2019s pantry, and open-plan ground floor connecting the kitchen and living zones to an alfresco space with barbecue, pool, and lawn. <\/p>\n

It has multiple living rooms, five bedrooms, and three bathrooms, complemented by a stunning five-metre ceiling in the master suite. <\/p>\n

The property is also within walking distance of a large shopping centre, two major schools, and two parks.<\/p>\n

Haas also has a first property investment quietly running in the background \u2013 a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment at \u2018Vive by Mosaic\u2019 he purchased in August 2019 for $590,000. <\/p>\n

The property has seen an estimated $406,000 surge in value since purchase. It was last up for rent in 2024 at $760 a week, though RP Data estimates it could fetch between $827 and $910 a week.<\/p>\n

The apartment features open living spaces, soaring ceilings, large windows, a gourmet-style gallery kitchen, generous walk-in wardrobes with Smart Robes, and a large private balcony ideal for entertaining. <\/p>\n

It also has easy access to key rental demand drivers, including the University of Queensland, the business district, hospitals, and the shopping and dining precincts of Indooroopilly and Toowong.<\/p>\n

Haas is now father figure to four children: his toddler Luckee, daughter Lalita who turns five this year, and his two younger brothers, Hans and Geejay. He took over as legal guardian of his brothers after his mother was jailed in Queensland and his father was arrested in the Philippines.<\/p>\n

On the field, Haas remains a major asset for the Broncos, who expected \u2013 and received \u2013 a strong turnaround in 2025 under coach Michael Maguire. <\/p>\n

Haas turned it up during his stint with the Blues in State of Origin under Maguire\u2019s guidance, reinforcing his status as one of the game\u2019s most dominant props \u2013 even as he prepares for his blockbuster move to South Sydney at the end of the 2026 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Payne Haas has taken on more responsibility at home and on the field with stunning results.
