FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
OVERVIEW
In Q4 2025, Coolangatta* (which in this report include sales and rentals for Gold Coast City Council), had a median house price of $1,330,000 and a median unit price of $900,000. This represents an annual (Q4 2024 – Q4 2025) median price growth of 10.8% for houses and 10.4% for units. Comparing Q4 2024 and Q4 2025, sales increased by 1.5% for houses (to 2,095 sales in Q4 2025) and 7.6% for units (to 3,030 sales in Q4 2025). This indicates high demand for both property types, and a market that has benefitted from the latest cash rate cuts. Thus, now is an ideal time for owners to capitalize on their investments. With very little new standalone houses planned, buyers must act fast before prices rise further.

While the above projects may answer some demand, the impact is limited. With only 25 stand-alone houses in the pipeline, this is not enough compared to Q4 2025 sales (2,095 houses). Potential undersupply is expected, which will put more pressure on property prices.
