Property Trends
In Q2 2026, Ashmore recorded a median house price of $1,303,333 and a median unit price of $850,000. This represents an annual (Q2 2025 – Q2 2026) price growth of 11.9% for houses and 13.3% for units. Comparing Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, total sales decreased by -8.8% for houses (to 52 sales in Q2 2026) and -35.2% for units (to 35 sales in Q2 2026); confirming an undersupply for both property types. Median unit price growth is higher than median house price growth, as house buyers pivoted to units – due to a lower price point and a lack of houses available.
Project Development
Ashmore plans to see approximately $464.1M of new projects for construction in 2026. Although there are several residential projects planned, most are due to be completed by late 2027 and even mid-2028. Furthermore, within (the suburb of) Ashmore itself the potential for a housing shortage is very high; as the nearest new housing supply is in Southport. This will drive property price growth in Ashmore, not only for houses but for all units and townhouses as well.
Rental Market & Growth
House rental yield in Ashmore was 4.1% as of June 2026, higher than Gold Coast Main (3.9%), and Brisbane Metro (3.1%). This is paired with a 3.8% growth in median house rental price over the past 12 months to Q2 2026, to $950 per week, and a -5.6% decline in the number of houses rented (to 134 houses in Q2 2026). There is an undersupply in the house rental market in Ashmore, which benefits current investors. Furthermore, this suggests there is still room for more investors to enter the rental market.
Vacancy Rates & Property Investment
Ashmore recorded a vacancy rate of 0.6% in June 2026, well below the Gold Coast Main’s average of 2.2% and Brisbane Metro’s 0.9%. Vacancy rates have fluctuated in the past 12 months. However, it has declined overall, indicating a tighter rental market. Furthermore, a 0.6% vacancy rate is significantly 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 house and unit sales price (thus, entry price) in the past 12 months to Q2 2026.
