Bayside Property Market Update 2nd Half 2025
Bayside provides coastal living, breathtaking views of Moreton Bay in Queensland and convenient access to beaches for leisure and water activities. With its welcoming community, local markets, and closeness to Brisbane, it offers a balance of serenity and convenience.
Property Trends
In Q3 2025, Bayside recorded a median price of $1,090,000 for houses and $820,000 for units. This represents an annual (Q3 2024 – Q3 2025) median price growth of 16.0% for houses and 12.3% for units.
Comparing Q3 2024 and Q3 2025, sales declined by -30.6% for houses (to 229 sales in Q3 2025) and by -28.8% for units (to 47 sales in Q3 2025). This indicates a clear undersupply for both property types, which created a buffer against higher interest rates, evident through continued price growth. Now is an ideal time for owners to capitalise on their investments. Without any ready-to-sell houses planned in 2025, the current undersupply will worsen; thus, buyers must act fast.
Project Development
Redland City LGA plans to see approximately $607.6M of new projects commencing construction in 2025. Although there are several residential projects in the 2025 pipeline, they will deliver only units, townhouses and land lots.
Without any new stand-alone ready-to-sell houses planned, the house market remains undersupplied. This shortage will push median prices even higher, across all property types.
Rental Market & Growth
House rental yields in Bayside were 3.8% as of September 2025, which is higher than the Redland City LGA (3.6%) and Brisbane Metro (3.1%). This was paired with a 7.1% increase in median house rental price in the past 12 months, at $750 per week, along with an 8.4% increase in the number of houses rented (to 168 houses in Q3 2025).
The same pattern can be seen in unit rentals, suggesting a highly demanded rental market in Bayside overall. This is beneficial to investors.
Vacancy Rates & Property Investment
Bayside recorded a vacancy rate of 0.9% in September 2025, below Redland City LGA (1.3%) and Brisbane Metro (1.0%). Vacancy rates have fluctuated but shown an overall declining trend over the past 12 months, reflecting a tighter rental market.
Furthermore, a 0.9% vacancy rate is significantly below the Real Estate Institute of Australia’s healthy benchmark of 3.0%, indicating quicker occupancy of rental properties. This creates a conducive environment for investors, even with a higher house and unit sales (thus, entry) price in the past 12 months to Q3 2025.
