Caboolture Property Market Update 2nd Half 2025
Caboolture offers affordable housing, great schools, and easy access to both Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, making it a fantastic place for families and professionals alike. With its mix of urban conveniences and semi-rural charm, residents enjoy a relaxed lifestyle while staying connected to major city hubs.
Property Trends
In Q3 2025, Caboolture recorded a median house price of $800,000 and a median unit price of $535,000. This reflects an annual (Q3 2024 - Q3 2025) median price growth of 11.4% for houses, indicating an ideal time for owners to capitalize. Conversely, unit prices softened by -2.1%, which creates a unique opportunity for buyers. Comparing Q3 2024 and Q3 2025, sales decreased by -36.9% for houses (to 111 sales in Q3 2025) and -20.0% for units (to 48 sales in Q3 2025). This confirms a clear undersupply for houses, creating a buffer against higher interest rate hikes, thus price growth. Without any houses being built in 2025 the current dip in unit price is unlikely to last. Thus, buyers must act fast.
Project Development
Caboolture will see approximately $527.4M of new projects commencing construction in 2025. All planned 2025 residential projects will deliver units, townhouses, and land lots only. An absence in new ready-to-sell stand-alone houses suggests that the current undersupply of houses will intensify. With land lots taking a longer time to develop into houses, this will further drive-up property prices; for all stock types.
Rental Market & Growth
House rental yield in Caboolture was 3.8% in September 2025, higher than Moreton Bay LGA (3.5%) and Brisbane Metro (3.1%). This is paired with a 6.9% growth in median house rental price in the past 12 months to Q3 2025, at $620 per week; along with a -12.8% decrease in the number of houses rented (to 259 rentals in Q3 2025). There is an undersupplied house rental market in Caboolture, which is ideal for investors looking for a more affordable investment option than Brisbane Metro.
Vacancy Rates & Property Investment
Caboolture recorded a vacancy rate of 0.9% in September 2025, slightly above Moreton Bay’s average (0.7%) but below Brisbane Metro’s (1.0%) average. Vacancy rates in Caboolture remained stable in the past 12 months, indicating a resilient rental market. Further, a 0.9% vacancy rate is significantly below the Real Estate Institute of Australia’s healthy benchmark of 3.0%, which suggests quicker occupancy of rental properties. This creates a conducive and sustainable investment environment for investors, even with a higher house and unit sales price (thus, entry price) in the past 12 months to Q3 2025.
