As 2025 ends, the Gold Coast property market remains one of Australia’s strongest performers. The end of year wrap shows rising confidence, solid buyer demand, and price growth across both houses and units — momentum the Gold Coast has shared in full.
Although earlier rate cuts boosted confidence and recent inflation has revived talk of rate rises in 2026, the factors driving our market are proving far more influential than short-term policy shifts.
Nationally, house prices lifted 9% and units 7% this year, with high-demand lifestyle regions leading the way. The Gold Coast continues to benefit from tight supply, strong population growth, and steady buyer activity — fundamentals that have kept competition high.
Population growth remains a major force, with demand far outpacing new housing supply. Enquiries, auctions, and investor activity have all strengthened, even amid renewed rate speculation. Investor lending jumped over 20% in the first half of the year, with many targeting established homes and further tightening local supply.
Looking to 2026, the Coast’s outlook remains positive. While inflation and affordability may moderate the pace of growth, limited supply and strong demand continue to underpin long-term performance.
The Gold Coast has shown remarkable resilience and all signs point to another year of steady growth ahead.
Thank you for staying connected with us throughout the year. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
