Ashmore Property Market Update 2nd Half 2025
Ashmore offers relaxed suburban living with easy access to the Gold Coast’s beaches and lively community events. With top-notch schools and welcoming, family-oriented neighbourhoods, it’s an excellent choice for raising children while enjoying a comfortable lifestyle.
Property Trends
In Q2 2025, Ashmore recorded a median house price of $1,160,000 and a median unit price of $750,000. This represents annual (Q2 2024 – Q2 2025) price growth of 6.3% for houses and a surge of 31.6% for units. Comparing Q2 2024 and Q2 2025, house sales declined by -17.4% (to 57 sales) and unit sales increased by 2.0% (to 52 sales). There is an undersupplied house market and a highly demanded unit market. Unit price growth is higher than house price growth, as buyers pivoted to units due to a lower price point and lack of houses. Now is an ideal time for owners to capitalise on their investments. With very little new housing stock planned, buyers must act fast.
Project Development
Ashmore and the surrounding area plan to see approx. $1.1B of new projects commencing construction in 2025. Although several residential projects are planned, they do not add houses and are located outside of Ashmore. This will exacerbate the undersupply of houses in Ashmore itself, driving up prices further.
Rental Market & Growth
House rental yields in Ashmore were 3.9% as of June 2025, higher than Gold Coast Main (3.8%) and Brisbane Metro (3.2%). This is paired with a 5.9% growth in median house rental price over the past 12 months to Q2 2025, at $900 per week. At the same time, the number of houses rented decreased by -15.8% (to 117 houses in Q2 2025). This indicates an undersupplied house rental market, suggesting there is still room for investors to enter.
Vacancy Rates & Property Investment
Ashmore recorded a vacancy rate of 1.0% in June 2025, below Gold Coast Main’s average (1.7%) but slightly above Brisbane Metro’s (0.9%). Vacancy rates have decreased in the past 12 months, from 1.2% in June 2024, indicating a tighter rental market. Furthermore, a 1.0% vacancy rate is well below the Real Estate Institution of Australia’s healthy benchmark of 3.0%, indicating quicker occupancy of rental homes in Ashmore. This creates a conducive environment for investors, even with a higher entry price in the past 12 months to Q2 2025.
