There is a strong focus onmixed-use projects in the Gold Coast Council area. This fosters economic growth, local job creation, and can drive the demand for more housing stock.
Although there are multiple residential projects throughout Gold Coast, key residential projects in the Coolangatta area (suburb and postcode 4225)are:
• Radia Rainbow Bay Apartments Coolangatta(38 Apartments)
• Bilinga Townhouses (21 Townhouses)
• 27& 27A Dixon Street Units (16 Units)
While the above projects may answer some demand, the impact is limited. With only 25stand-alone houses in the pipeline, this is notenough compared to Q4 2025sales (2,095houses). Potential undersupply is expected, which will put more pressure onproperty prices.
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 tightened to -0.5% forhouses and -0.3% for units. The Coolangatta* market still favourbuyers, as owners are willing to accept slightly below the first list price. That said, by Q4 2025 the average vendor discount is nearly 0%, indicating a shift towards a seller’s market. With limited new housing supply planned, buyers must act fast.
