Property Trends
In Q4 2025, Ashmore recorded a median house price of $1,330,000 and a median unit price of $825,000. This is an annual (Q4 2024 – Q4 2025) price growth of 12.7% for houses and 22.2% for units. Comparing Q4 2024 and Q4 2025, total sales surged by 56.6% for houses (to 83 sales in Q4 2025) and 39.1% for units (to 64 sales in Q4 2025). There is highly demanded market in Ashmore. Unit price growth is higher than house price growth, as house buyers pivoted to choosing units – due to a lower price point and a lack of houses available. With very little new houses planned, buyers must act fast.
Project Development
Ashmore and the surrounding area plan to see approximately $766.7M of new projects commencing construction in 2026. Although several residential projects are planned, they do not add houses and are not located specifically in Ashmore. Only 3 villas are due to be constructed specifically in Ashmore, which will not address demand. This will exacerbate the undersupply of houses in Ashmore itself, driving up prices even further.
Rental Market & Growth
House rental yield in Ashmore was 4.2% as of December 2025, higher than Gold Coast Main (3.4%) and Brisbane Metro (2.9%). This is paired with a 11.4% growth in median house rental price over the past 12 months to Q4 2025, to $980 per week, along with a 5.7% growth in the number of houses rented (to 149 houses in Q4 2025). This indicates a highly demanded house rental market in Ashmore, which indicates there is still room for investors to enter the market.
Vacancy Rates & Property Investment
Ashmore recorded a vacancy rate of 1.2% in December 2025, slightly below the Gold Coast Main’s average of 1.3% but on par with Brisbane Metro’s 1.2%. Vacancy rates have increased in the past 12 months, due to investors re-entering the rental market. That said, a 1.2% vacancy rate is still well below the Real Estate Institution of Australia’s healthy benchmark of 3.0%, indicating a quicker occupancy of rental homes in Ashmore. This creates a conducive environment for investors, even with a higher house and unit sales price (thus, entry price) in the past 12 months to Q4 2025.
