This suggests that now is an ideal time for homeowners to transact and capitalize ontheir investments. Comparing Q4 2024and Q4 2025,total sales increased by 33.4%(to 475sales in Q4 2025)for houses and surged by 88.7%(to 466 sales in Q4 2025)for units, highlighting a highly-demanded market.

A main infrastructure development is Clarrie Hall Dam Wall Raising Project ($304.0M), which involves raising the dam wall at Clarrie Hall Dam to increase water storage capacity and enhance long-term water security.
Key residential projects include:
• Quay Grand Apartments Tweed Heads Stages 1& 2 (122Apartments)
• 93Parks Lane & Trutes Terrace Residential Subdivision (78 Lots)
• 42North Arm Road (18 Dwellings)
• 19 William Street (6 Townhouses)
There are residential projects planned in Tweed£, which will add new stock. But, compared to Q4 2025sales this is not enough, especially of 475 houses. Supply will remain insufficient, pushing up prices further; for all property types.
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-3.6% for houses and -2.0% for units. Market conditions in Tweed* still favourbuyers in Q4 2025, with vendors accepting offers below initial listing prices. A tighter discount suggest a shift towards a seller’s market. As discounting narrows and new supply remains limited, buyers need toact fast before discounts become lesser.
The suburb of Tweed Heads has outperformed the wider Tweed Shire LGA in house prices, while unit prices have remained on par for the past 5 years. In 2025, house prices have increased significantly, re-establishing the suburb as a premium market. The unit market remains an opportunity for first home buyers.
Most of the homes sold in Tweed* in 2025were equally spilt between the premium price bracket (36.5% of houses sold above $1.45M) and the mostaffordable price point (36.3%of houses sold below $1.15M).This benefits both owners and buyers. Similarly, most of the units sold were in the premium bracket above $1.05M (28.2%) and the most affordable price point of less than $749,999(26.1%) This suggests there is a home for all budgets in Tweed*.

RENTAL GROWTH 2025€
House rental yield in Tweed¥ was 4.3%as of December 2025, higher than Tweed Shire (3.5%) and Gold Coast Main (3.5%). This is paired with a 31.9% surge in median house rental price in the past 12 months to Q4 2025,at $1,200per week, along with a 33.3%growth in the number of houses rented (to 20 houses). This indicates a highly-demanded and competitive house rental market, one that is in need for more investors to enter the market.
2-bedroom houses have provided investors with a significant +27.2% rental growth annually, achieving a median rent of $725per week.
Tweed¥ recorded a vacancy rate of 0.9%in December 2025, lower than Tweed Shire average of 1.1% and Gold Coast Main’s average of 1.3%. Vacancy rates have increased in the past 12 months, due to investors re-entering the market. However, a 0.9%vacancy rate is significantly below the Real Estate Institution of Australia’s healthy benchmark of 3.0%, thus a quicker occupancy of rental homes in Tweed¥. This creates an ideal environment for investors, even with house and unit prices (thus, entry prices) increasing in the past 12months to Q4 2025.
