Property Trends
In Q3 2026, Ramsgate Beach had a median house price of $1,899,500, and a median unit price of $810,000. This is an annual (Q3 2025 – Q3 2026) price softening of -6.7% for houses, but a growth of 3.8% for units. Between Q3 2025 – Q3 2026 house sales were stable (at 24 sales in Q3 2026), but unit sales fell, by -43.0% (to 85 sales in Q3 2026). The house market is in high demand; however higher interest rates have translated into the market. This is not uncommon for a blue-chip suburb such as Ramsgate Beach. Median unit price has increased due to its relative affordability to house prices, and being an undersupplied market has created a buffer against cash rate hikes. Overall, this creates an ideal market for unit owners to transact, and house buyers to act fast.
Project Development
Ramsgate Beach will see approx. $657.0M of new projects commence construction in 2026-2027. There are a few residential and mixed-use projects bringing new stock to Ramsgate Beach; including: 1 – 7 Bowns Road (55 Apartments), 31-33 Gladstone Street (78 Units), and 25 Robinson Street (6 Townhouses). Most of the new ready to-go stock are units. There are no new stand-alone houses planned, houses will be undersupplied. This can stimulate a market recovery, if economic conditions improve.

House rental yields in Ramsgate Beach were 2.6% in September 2026, lower than Sydney Metro (2.9%). That said, median house rental price has increased by 4.3% in the past 12 months to Q3 2026, at $730 per week. The number of houses rented did decline, by -2.9% in the past 12 months, to 33 rentals in Q3 2026.

Ramsgate Beach recorded a vacancy rate of 1.7% in September 2026, lower than Bayside LGA’s 2.2% and Sydney Metro 1.8% average. Vacancy rates in Ramsgate Beach increased in the past 12 months, due to more investors entering the market. That said, a 1.7% vacancy rate is still well below the 3.0% benchmark. Thus, there is quicker occupancy of rental homes in Ramsgate Beach. This is a conducive environment for investors, especially with a lower median house sales price (thus, entry price) in the past 12 months to Q3 2026.
