Gold Coast and Tweed Shire LGA Market Update 2nd Half 2025

Gold Coast City Council

In the past 5 years to 2025, Gold Coast City Council saw 44.7% growth in median house price, with an average growth of 8.9% per annum.

Q2 2025 saw the market reach its peak, with median house price at $1,247,500. Since Q3 2023, house sales remained strong, at 1,900–2,000 per quarter. This is less than in 2020–2021, when house sales were approx. 2,500–3,000 per quarter. A persistent undersupply created a buffer against higher interest rates, which resulted in price growth.

Gold Coast City Council plans to see approx. $7.6B of residential projects in 2025, adding 4,758 units, 553 townhouses, 33 dwellings and 558 vacant lots.

In Q2 2025, 4+ bedroom houses and 3+ bedroom units provided the highest annual rental growth, of 31.1% and 25.0% respectively; at a median rental price of $1,180 and $1,000 per week. This benefits investors, even if property sale prices have increased.

Tweed Shire Council

In the past 5 years to 2025, Tweed Shire Council recorded a 30.4% growth in median house price, or an average annual growth of 6.1%. Although Tweed Shire recorded a slightly slower price growth rate than Gold Coast Council, it continues to offer strong growth potential and a more affordable entry price.

Median unit prices in Tweed Shire saw a stabilization in the first half of 2025, most likely due to the surge in the number of sales (to almost post-COVID-19 level). Capital growth per annum is 7.0%, like the Gold Coast (7.5%); thus, attractive for first home buyers.

Tweed Shire LGA will see approx. $381.4M residential projects planned in 2025, adding 357 units, 42 townhouses, 11 dwellings and 30 land lots.

4+ bedroom houses and 3+ bedroom units recorded the highest annual rental price growth, of 22.2% and 13.3% respectively; at $1,100 and $850 per week.
