Unit price growth is higher than house price growth, as house buyers pivoted tounits – due to a lower price point and a lack of houses available.

Ashmore and its surrounding areas are expected tosee approximately 1,269new units and 69townhouses commence construction in 2026.
However, new supply within Ashmore suburb itself remains very limited. The only residential project is 1 Sassafras Drive Villas ($1.2M), delivering just 3 villas in 2026.
The nearest residential projects are in Southport, examples include:
• 48 Blake Street Townhouses (5 Townhouses)
• 29Minnie Street Units (20Units)
Although several residential projects are planned, they do not add houses; and are outside of Ashmore.
Within Ashmore itself the potential for a housing shortage is high. This will drive property price growth in the suburb, not only for houses but for all units and townhouses as well.
AVERAGE VENDOR DISCOUNT*
Average vendor discount reflects the average percentage difference between the first list price and final sold price. A lower percentage difference (closer to 0.0%) suggests that buyers are willing to purchase close to the first asking price of a property.
Average vendor discounts between Q4 2024and Q4 2025 have swung to a premium of 0.7% for houses and widened to a higher premium of 4.8% for units. Market conditions in Ashmore* favors sellers, as buyers willing must offer above the initial listing prices Further, with very little ready-to-sell stand-alone houses planned, buyers must actfast.
